90-days reporting is a different system.

You can log out and log in again. Then use the search function where your table-line with registration will appear. Print the line. My – extremely strict Koh Samui – immigration office accepts that, they actually also check online and will find you in the system.

I'm pretty sure that is Crocodile Dundee. Pic to fuzzy to tell age but looking fit! Thanks, and sure, it's fuzzy, only small images allowed for profile photos; fuzzy appearance might be a benefit in some cases... Could of course also be that I looked 15-20 years older 15 years ago...🤔 However, I don't mind sharing a bit less fuzzy image of my age now, where I might look as old as I appeared before...😀

Ed Sheeran is coming, his present +–=÷× tour is actually worth hearing/watching live...👍 (My image from his concert in Copenhagen) Quite a number of big names pass Bangkok with a concert...👍

The girls say that I apparently don't get older and looks the same, as 15 years ago – it's important what the girls think, even when they are getting too old – so in principle, if the girls are trustworthy, the me shall look about 15 years younger than my age... It's the present me in my profile image – how old do I look...😎 What age I feels like, is another story...😀

I use the new online TM30 report system – this version is only about a month old – you cannot register a start date before the actual date. You don't need to use the tablet-form to register your stay. When you have registered (your wife) as house master, there is a very simple form to add new residents of the house. When logging in you'll start with the search form, click on +Add at lower left... Then the "Add"-form opens. Mark the house in upper left box, fill in the form – arrival date will be date of filling the form – and "Save".

Another news story today says that the Thai death toll is 33... Yesterday the news reported that 33 French had died in the Israel-Hamas war.

Yesterday the French death toll in Israel reached 33.

Nope, I use to dance somewhere with music at that time, but now I begin to wonder where, since I read in the news that they closed at 2 am...

Depending on the local immigration office. At some immigration offices the 90-days report period restarts from zero when doing an annual extension – "my" office do that – whilst by other immigration offices the 90-day periods are counted from original entry date, independent from the extension of stay.

Apparently it seems so...

You apparently seems to have excellent good energy and lots of positive waves...

For my half Thai daughter, I decided for a bilingual (also called English Program) primary school – up to P6, equivalent to year 7 international – with IGCSE curriculum and native English speaking teachers for the subjects taught in English. With a true bilingual school you get both Thai and English – in my area Chinese was a third foreign language – and you also get the Thai culture, which is important if the future would be in Thailand. We changed after P6 to international IGCSE year 8. Thai language was still a subject all the way through the international levels, but limited in number of hours per week, and my daughter got an A in both Thai and English. My daughter had originally only has the Thai future as option – i.e. only Thai citizenship, as I'm not married to her mother, my girlfriend – so Thai language and culture was important. An EU-court changed that later, so she could get dual citizenship and thereby more options to choose from in the future. IGCSE-certificate has no real value for primary level – internation up to Y7 – the bilingual school can be half price of the IGCSE-approved international school; the certificate approval is the expensive part. While for middle school, Y8-Y11, the final IGCSE-certificate is very valuable and entrance to either continuing to Cambridge A-level or with IB. Might be valuable for your daughter to either consider a bilingual school, and/or extra tuition in Thai.

Wow, I didn't realize that the nightlife closed at 2 am – wonder what I've been doing after 2 am...

Cool...👍😎

Normally buyer pays transfer fee; stamp duty negotiated, but can also be buyer; seller pays tax. The uncle will as seller need to pay business tax of 3.3% for the property, if he has owned the property less than one year and had his name registered in the Blue House Book, or has owned the property less than five years without his name in the Blue House Book. In case of business tax there is no stamp duty. Furthermore there will be a withholding tax to pay by seller. You can use the tax-calculator HERE.

A number of studies actually find that enjoying life is a major factor for longevity...🥳 Longevity is most likely a combination of many things; including both genes, life-style and joy. My father said that enjoy life is the most important. He didn't get involved in healthy life-style – however, he never smoked – he enjoyed a glass of wine, preferably two, with his dinner; he liked a glass of cold beer; he used butter and sugar; he didn't think much of what he was eating or having a healthy diet, but he liked vegetables to be part of a major meal; he never ate much, and was never overweight; and in general he was always in a good mood and enjoyed life. Also important surely is that he walked a lot – having a dog helped – and he walked fast. He furthermore played piano every day and he forgot to stop playing tennis; he continued at least twice a week and preferably two hours. At older age he preferred double – often playing against his 14 years younger wife, in the other team. The original double tennis-partners however got old and too slow, so they let their sons take over. And after tennis he always enjoyed a cold beer. So, it seems like combination of several things are important for longevity, including both enjoying life and some level of activity, which also must be enjoyable, according to my father...👍 My mother however, cared a lot about healthy life-style. She complained quite a bit over my father's not so healthy life-style, and even that she was active in sport – both tennis and figure ice skating – she died unexpected from a cancer when she was 90 years old. My father played in an exhibition double tennis match in an ATP-tournament when he was 101 years old. His last played tennis was when he was 104. He lived till he was 104½, where he said to me: "Now it's not fun anymore, I begin to need help for too much". I knew, what was happening. A week later he passed away when sleeping, while I was sitting next to him and holding his hand.

As long as they are happy is what matters... What about age difference between farang men and Thai ladies...

No, folkepension is fully funded by the present tax-payers; it's not based on savings. There is an additional small work life-pension by law, it's called ATP – "Arbejdsmarkedets tillægspension", which translates to: "Labour Market Supplementary Pension" – where the employee pays a small tax-deducted amount depending of worktime; i.e. by hours, half-time or full-time. The amount is just under $14 per month for a full time worker, the employer pays double as much, so in total almost $42 per month. The money goes into a foundation and are invested, the dividends, gains and interests are paid as life-long supplement pension, which is around 27,300 dkk ($3,900) in 2023 for the whole year, minus income tax; after tax it's around $2,400 or $200 per month. All other pensions are private, which can be part of an employment agreement. However, quite a number of people never saved up for their retirement and they lives from folkepension and often also the ATP at some or other level.

Denmark: At the moment you can retire at 67 (born 1st July 1955 or later), but the age will go up over time, for example 68 years from 2030(born 1st January 1963 or later), 69 from 2035 and so on. It's based on having 15 years in average to live after retirement. To be eligible for full government pension – called "folkepension", i.e. "peoples retirement pension" – you need to have been living in Denmark for at least 3 years between the age of 15 and retirement age. If you have not lived in the country for 40 years between the age of 15 and retirement age, you will not receive the full pension, but a fractional pension in 40th, depending of the number of years you have lived in the country; for example 30/40th of the full rate, if you have lived only 30 years in Denmark. The folkepension is based on a base sum, which is 6,694 dkk (Danish kroner), which equals about $950 ($1 = 7.04 dkk), before income tax. After tax it's 5,562 dkk (circa $790) with normal personal allowance deductions. The folkepension is regulated, so it partly follows other salaries, but not fully and with a delay (I think it's two years). So in years with high inflation, you have less buying power. If you don't have other income, you can get extra government pay up to 7,745 dkk ($1,100) as single, or 3,963 dkk ($550) each when married, before income tax. The income tax depending on where you live in the country, but is in general around 38 % for retirees, so after tax around $680 extra for a single, or $340 each when married. Additional income will be partly deducted in the surplus. Furthermore, low incomes without major savings, can get an additional "old age cheque" of 19,200 dkk ($2,700) before tax, once in a year; i.e. around $1,690 after average income tax. If you wish to move abroad to a country outside EU (European Union) and EEC (European Economic Community), you will only get the base sum. So if you move to Thailand – like me – you will only get 5,562 per month (in 2023) – provided you, like I, has lived at 40 years or longer in Denmark – which equals to 28,000 baht per month by the at moment quite favorable exchange rate (1 dkk = 5.10 thb). If you have no other income or private retirement pensions, it's small money, but still doable with en modest life-style; however, provided that you one or other way had the savings for deposit to extend your stay based on retirement or marriage. So, moving to Thailand as a Dane with nothing more than the base government pension for living costs, is pretty much a question of health, as you need to take any fees for a health insurance out of the budget. When you move out from Denmark, you are not and longer covered by the free government health service. You need to permanently move back to be covered again. It's doable to retire in Thailand on the folkepension-base with a modest life-style, but I recommend Danes to think twice, before they do it without any further income or savings.

There is good English explantions from Social Security, either online or via a printed folder, you can obtain the the Amphor district office...

I tried to call for an ambulance a few months ago – a young turist girl had fallen and hit her head hard and her foreign friends cried for an ambulance – in my area 1669 is an automated reply telling numbers to press for service in different languages. I pressed for English, but the operater seem not to understand the location. Then I tried tourist police, whom could not help with an ambulance. 191 didn't work either. Ended up having a songthaew to drive her and her friends to a nearby hospital. Now I store the local hospital's number for 24 hour emergency service instead in my phone, probably faster service.

Yes, and that's why the easy solution is extension of stay based on "retirement", if one can afford...

You might need to – do a TM30 report – depending on the local immigration office, even that the police order says that it's not needed when on extension of stay, not even when traveling abroad on a re-entry permit. My local immigration office – Surat Thani Province immigration – claims a TM30 if I've been outside the province. I had to do one last week, as I otherwise could not have extension of stay approved, because I've out of the province. Some immigration offices makes their own rules.

Same-same on normal fixed deposit accounts, you'll loose interest in the present 12-month deposit period. However, check with the bank in question, if there are special condition, the interest seems to be in the upper end at present.
