  1. Hi, I am soon to move condos on 20th September and need to hire a covered pickup truck for the contents removal. It's only 2 BTS stops in distance so companies like Deliveree and Lalamove can't seem to find a driver to accept the job. Any suggestions?
  2. No. The tax u pay outside thailand is just credited for thailand tax
  3. The Chinese will take all this over one way or another.
  4. Not really. More about collecting Tax from whoever.

  6. When you convert foreign currency in thailand through banks or exchanges your passport is copied and ID recorded. That info goes to the tax authorities in both Thailand and your home country automatically. You have then a legal duty to report in an annual self assessment tax return and if that £5000 is earnings then it is liable to taxation.
  7. Apparently I might be a monist. Don't really know what it is but I believe in mother nature, whoever she is. Nature is randomy guided by natural laws. Nothing to do with an intelligent being but just laws of nature taking their course and we are just a side product of it. When we die we go back to what we were before we were born. Life is far far less than a billion billionth of time and we end up dead for eternity.
  8. If restaurant owners can't be arrested for lying about the quality of their service and false advertising then customers should have the right to give bad reviews
  9. Except Thai law doesn't discriminate between the two

    Had very major problems either huge amts of wax for years until about 30 years ago I use cotton wool buds gently to clean out water after a shower. My ears are 100% clean now all the time. I know buds are not recommended anymore but I swear by them
  12. Her name sounds Russian or Eastern European.
  13. It's not a Buddhist shrine. It's a spirit house. Nothing at all to do with Buddhism. Get your facts right.
  14. Never, Thailand would be a conduit of NATO secrets to China.
  15. Apologies, yes I meant income brought in, not capital, but it will ve difficult to prove the difference between the two
  16. Thanks. But the questionnaire I quote is not only for non residents.
  17. I have lived in Thailand for 20 years and fully declared my non-residency status to HMRC. In 2012 the HMRC told me I need not send an annual self assessment tax return each year anymore because I only have my UK pensions (taxed at source) and my bank interest which was very low and also taxed at source. However, my bank interest earnings (given gross- not taxed at source anymore) have shot up recently due to high UK bank interest rates, so I completed a questionnaire from HMRC as to whether I need to start sending then a self assessment for tax again, as I am registered for self assessment online. The questionnaire states that as I don't have income of more than £100,000 per annum income, nor any foreign income, and no more than £10,000 per annum earnings from bank interest etc then I don't need to send one. I know I can ask HMRC directly but I want to put this to the forum first: How come I wont have further tax liabilities this year if my untaxed bank interest has shot up? Does the HMRC depend on other ways to find your income and then automatically send a self assessment to you if needed? The questionnaire is here: https://www.gov.uk/check-if-you-need-tax-return
  18. Obviously, by preserving its thoroughly democratically elected govt, it is showing why its candidature to be a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council is fully justified.
  19. The Jin is very good. I have visited along with the Golden Years group which he may also like to join as it provides enormously useful resources, talks and visits related to us oldies. They are a one stop shop for any advice like this for Thailand retirees. The place is in Nonthaburi - a bit far out of BKK but they have a bus to the nearest BTS. They also have medical services on site or an ambulance for serious cases. https://www.jinwellbeing.com/ Check out Bangkok Golden Years Seniors https://www.meetup.com/bangkok-golden-years-seniors on Meetup
  20. One that you clearly don't have.
