  1. No, first you said, he said he knows nothing about it, then you said he said he said he knows about it. "but he definitely knows what it's about. He said so." You didn't say you said so. You said he said so. Again. Get a grip.
  2. Those were your 2 posts, First post you said "said he knew nothing about it" Second Post you said "but he definitely knows what it's about. He said so." I say again. Make up your mind.
  3. Said he knew nothing about it. but he definitely knows what it's about. He said so. Hello. Make up your mind!
  4. Missing in action after all that vitriol. What happened? A spambot maybe.
  5. I just think banks are rejecting more new account setups as they are under pressure from scams. I opened a new account about 6 months ago. In August I setup my Wise PayId to send money to Wise. When I tried to transfer money it was denied and my account was locked. I transferred from my other bank. Had to call my bank to unlock everything and tell them the payee is not a scam. Great. Last month I tried to transfer and again it was denied. Another call and many requests to explain why after 2 months of creating the PayId and having it cleared, it was still blocked. The best they could do was say it was automatically detected by software. In the end I have finally managed to get it to work. Good luck.
  6. So you found many guys who were not lonely and 1 that was, so you decided all men in Pattaya are lonely and live at Flybird. You have a vivid imagination GG.
  7. Mate, stop feeding him. He thrives in feedback. We'll get 15 posts to back his scaremongering. We all know it is BS.
  8. Those HTML "developers" have to justify their salary somehow. Next year the new guy will move it all back to the right.
  9. I think there are 5 now but the one down the line on Soi 89 is great. https://buddybarbangkok.com/locations/soi89/
  10. Jomtien require an in person visit after you enter the country for a 90 day report. After that you can do it online. You used to be able to do the report online after returning from abroad, but that has changed in the last year. Extract from email below:
  11. I'm not sure of the rules he was under, but he didn't seem to be under pressure to do much. Transition to the pension was very easy as already on benefits. Left within a week of receiving the pension. Heavy smoker but strangely gave up when he returned to the Philippines where smokes are so cheap. Used to return to Sydney every 6 months as he only had 22 of the 35 working life years required so he could receive the full pension. Sadly, passed from emphysema last month.
  12. Go back to mopping those floors. Hopefully it'll help you develop a brain.
  13. It's 10 years ago now, but I have a friend who was in the Philippines for 15 years and returned at age 63. Was on Newstart for 2 years until he got the pension at 65 and left to return to the Philippines with portability.
  14. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, but you may need to read @LosLobo's reply above. You can get the full pension if you have been a permanent resident for 10 years before you reach pensionable age .https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/residence-rules-for-age-pension?context=22526 "To get Age Pension you generally need to have been an Australian resident for at least 10 years in total. For at least 5 of these years, there must be no break in your residence." The link above will help you understand the rules.
  15. They can return anytime. If they return at age 67 or later, they will receive the full pension as soon as their application is finalised. They will get the full pension, if eligible, while in Australia. If they leave after 2 years on a portable pension, the 35 year rule kicks in after being out of the country for 6 months, but, if they have 35 years of working life in Australia, they continue to receive the full pension.
  16. "If you are absent from Australia long-term or permanently, your DVA payments may be made every four weeks into your bank account in your country of residence." https://www.dva.gov.au/get-support/financial-support/income-support/what-changes-your-payments/your-property-or-accommodation/travelling-or-living-overseas#:~:text=If you are absent from Australia long-term or permanently,in your country of residence.
  17. You continue getting the supplements for 6 weeks after you leave. (3 fortnightly payments)
  18. It would seem that Centrelink get notified whenever you leave or enter the country, so even though you are supposed to notify them, it doesn't matter. I have friends receiving the pension that have never notified their movements, but their pensions are adjusted automatically when they come and go from Australia.
  19. Amazing. I didn't mention any name and yet!
  20. Can you show an example of someone who only gets the pension, which is clearly above the tax threshold, being taxed? I have never heard of it. Are you implying that if someone on the full pension received additional income of $100 in interest they would be taxed on the combined earnings of the pension plus the interest? So, about $3000 in tax? Anybody out there that has had this happen?
  21. Guys, please stop feeding the troll. Just ignore his posts. It's the only way he might be starved of the oxygen he so desperately needs.
  22. Are you sure there wasn't any text before your quote? Gift tax rates in Thailand are structured to favor transfers to direct relatives. For gifts to ascendants, descendants, or spouses, the tax-free threshold is 20 million baht per year to a single recipient, with a tax rate of 5% applied to amounts exceeding this threshold. For gifts to individuals who are not the taxpayer’s parent, descendant, or spouse, the exemption is up to 10 million baht per year per recipient, with a 5% tax rate on the excess. These thresholds and rates are essential for planning significant gift transfers to ensure they are executed in a tax-efficient manner. The first 10 million is tax free.
  23. Just send the money to your wife's account as a gift. No tax on gifts.
  24. I'll narrow it down for you. Vasu is between 7/1 and Soi 9.
