I asked about it in the Krungthai on Thepprasit. They said come back on July 21st. Bizarre. I'll try at another branch.

Totally agree. As do Thais I talked to. Can't right into or out of almost any businesses, shops or even Sois. This is a total disaster.

Durian

Top price for a pair of Air Jordans 17,711,000 THB. 2nd most expensive 3.2m THB. 3rd, 3.1m THB. Just a sample. But, because she's Chinese and a woman, somehow it's obscene to have paid this amount, if she in fact did. However, it's crazy to be actually carrying this item around with you. It should be locked away in a safe. In a few years, it would have been worth double. Only 5 made! Unused. Mint condition. Priceless!

Dated January.

If you send over your top diplomat/minister/secretary to seek to repair the totally fxxxed up mess between the US and China, then completely destroy any positive outcome with fatuous comments about dictatorship, it shows a remarkable lack of diplomacy. If you feel so heated about Xi why not just declare war on China and stop pretending you want a proper trading relationship or whatever. US never had a problem with propping up dictators in the past. The real problem is, Xi is a lot smarter than those guys.

As an innocent bystander, aka Brit, I was really rooting for Blinken, and thought he did a great job. Peace at last! Then Joe stuck his big foot in it. Total dismay! ???????????? They should have an anti-gaffe unit on 24 hour standby for some of these world leaders. I like Joe, but for heaven's sake man! Give peace a chance!

I think the difference in 2015 valuation and 2021 sale price was about £20,000. I was selling to my daughter, so, keeping it in the family, took the lowest valuation I could get! It was still a fair market price though. Anyway, I did the CGT declaration as required and have not heard anything back.

I sold a property 2 years ago and used the CGT calculation for non residents based on an April 2015 valuation, which I happened to have. If I recall, the amount owed in CGT was significantly lower, in fact, 0, using this method, mainly because the value as sold was less than the 2015 valuation, whereas it was about 50% higher using the other method. Down to the difference between inflated agent's valuations, and real market value as sold 6 years later.

Yes. In Philippines they have the "Anti-Dummy Law" that outlaws any attempts to circumvent existing land laws. https://attorney.org.ph/legal-news/252-the-philippine-anti-dummy-law#:~:text=The Anti-Dummy Law is,not allowed under Philippine law.

Or Russia ever since Stalin?

Oh yes you do! https://www.gov.uk/report-and-pay-your-capital-gains-tax/if-you-sold-a-property-in-the-uk-on-or-after-6-april-2020

A foreigner can own a house, but not the land it's built on.

In Thailand?

This is not possible. However if you wish you can transfer THB from your Thai bank via Dee Money into your Wise sterling or $ accounts. Or any other account I guess.

No probs. It seems NARIT has passed Astronomy 101, and discovered that June 21st is the longest day. But the reporter has failed dismally. The sun stops? What, and waves? "The term ‘Solstice’ comes from the Indo-European word stice, meaning steady or pause. The Summer Solstice signifies the day when the Sun’s path reaches its northernmost point and remains stationary. The Sun’s position changes about one degree per day, and from March, it gradually moves northwards until it reaches its highest point today. After this, it will slowly move southwards. " What appalling nonsense. It's not going anywhere. WE are. The "sun's path" is our path in relation to it. It only appears to move because of our motion. Maybe they don't teach it in Thai schools. Galileo? He wasn't Thai, so who cares?

Er, the sun doesn't move. The earth does.

Dollars? Really?

You can upload to professional translators. I used to use one for translating official Thai documents like building permits. Here's Google Lens's free attempt. Whatever's in the cylinders, I'd stand well back. Even from Google Garble it seems well dangerous. Zyklon B?

Like, ratporn? There must be money in it.

Hardly need crystal balls to figure that out. Anyway my comment was a little on the light hearted side, but never mind.

What does yours say then?

Ah, you're being perhaps slightly disingenuous. If you've not told them you're living abroad, it might raise an eyebrow. However, just say "I was on holiday at the time I got your notice, m'lud", and all will be forgiven. After all, this is only a witness as to your existence on this planet, not to your address or whereabouts. You could get a barlady to sign it. Who the hell's going to know back in Milton Keynes? Then stamp PAID across it!

But is it not considered an out patient procedure, so unless you have OP cover, they won't pay? As per WRLife, at least.
