    'This development has spurred considerable concern, particularly among retirees who have enjoyed years of tax-free income.' There's a CONSIDERABLE difference, between tax-free - and THAI-TAX-FREE! So ... do the Thai authorities 'plan' to agree double-taxation agreements, with the requisite countries? Or do they 'hope' - in TYPICAL Thai fashion - that the expats won't notice?

    In Bangkok ... DEFINITELY! In Chonburi, where we're now living ... I really don't KNOW! If you've a mind to cook them, then you'll find what you want, in Villa Market.
  3. JohnAllan
    Or you can buy and cook your OWN! Big C/Lotus are possibilities. Villa is a DEFINITE!

    Unless things have changed, you need to leave the country, in order to obtain the non-O. You can EXTEND in-country, one time.

    There most often IS another side! Perhaps Thai would care to give ITS version!

    The clue is in your use of the adjective 'wiser' ... it implies wisdom came into the equation, in the FIRST place! Something that most certainly was NOT involved!

    Oh, they aren't brainless. They just need to remember to stand up, from time to time ... in order to let the air circulate.

    'Locals, with their presumed stronger resistance to regional ailments, will be exempt.' TiT! Truly ruddy TiT!

    It's actually in the third line. But I think you missed the irony.

    Foreign nationals CAN own shares ... they just can't own the majority in a company!

    He - or IT - isn't worth your time responding. It'll go away ... eventually.

    Don't give them your business. If others also refuse to give them their business, they'll learn. EVENTUALLY ... as vendors aren't GENERALLY noted for their ability to catch-on very quickly!

    'Right now, in every area in Phuket, the police are taking offences committed by tourists seriously. We want the people of Phuket to trust us.”' The RTP MIGHT care to remember that it wasn't FORMED to address offences committed by foreign visitors! So ... it needs to deal EQUALLY promptly with those committed by Thai nationals! Which STATISTICALLY, are going to outnumber those committed by foreign visitors!

    I'm pretty sure I was on Amlodipine. I don't recall having an issue with it. But I'm now on Norvasc.

    Try an international hospital ... I'm pretty sure there's a Bangkok Hospital, in Chonburi. Alternatively, a major shopping mall will quite likely have an optician/opthalmologist, with a sufficient grasp of English to help you.

    Well, if they last discussed it 100+ years ago ... it isn't going anywhere, in the coming decades.
  18. JohnAllan
    There is. As I have said previously, the government CAN'T - or WON'T - deal with the Channel-crossing freebie-seekers ... but it can manage to poke its collective nose into British nationals' bank accounts.

    Beat me to IT!

    I would normally use Samitivej - perfectly good - but, on this occasion, Chulalongkorn was more convenient. A rectal tumour - checked, shrunk, and surgically removed; and no follow-up issues, to date.
  22. JohnAllan
    I've generally used Samitivej. But I had a tumour removed in Chulalongkorn. Excellent nursing. And the doctors DO know what they're about.
  23. JohnAllan
    The clue is in that word 'thinking'.
  24. JohnAllan
    I haven't read the criticism ... but I seriously doubt any slander was involved. As for Thai pursuing legal action ... not the BRIGHTEST decision it could have made!

    He couldn't work out where the LIFT was!?
