Thai PM returning to Phuket to oversee “tourism safety” drills
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Does the PM not know the meaning of delegating there are far more pressing issues to be taken care of than having a day out in Phuket is it that important that he feels there is no one in his party or the other parties that made up the coalition that is capable of carrying out the task . I bet he has got a clue nor qualifications to carry out health and safety exercises ! -
Court Puts Off Handing Down Verdict In Yingluck Case
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
She will be kissing the Tarmac in a month or two it’s all been organised by the patient who is so ill that he has now spent 100 days in the police hospital -
All this is total BS ,those who are worried can I suggest you transfer at least 6 months of savings from your overseas account into your Thai account by 31 December 2023 this should be enough time for the Thai government to do a massive u turn once the realise that they’ve made a huge mistake . As a U.K. taxpayer I pay income tax on my pensions every month the U.K. and Thailand have a tax agreement nevertheless I have always transferred a large chunk of money to my Thai bank accounts every December from my U.K. savings accounts to avoid paying more tax on interest earned in the U.K.

Taxation of Ex-Pats pensions etc.
crazykopite replied to LittleBear57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you have money sat in a U.K. bank bring in enough to last six months that’s my plan as I am confident it will be such a mess that as per usual they will do a u turn on it when it comes to retired farangs ! there after the Thai wealthy as well as nomads who don’t pay tax on overseas income due to this loophole -
Taxation of Ex-Pats pensions etc.
crazykopite replied to LittleBear57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The U.K. has an agreement on taxation with Thailand therefore like me you shouldn’t be paying Taxes in Thailand from your pensions . I’ve been paying U.K. Tax for the past 18+ years although I live in Thailand on retirement there is little I can do as it’s deducted each month at source from my 3 pensions if for some reason they do I’m off to split my time between Thailand and the Philippines where my OAP will be updated to todays current level as it’s frozen in Thailand but not the Philippines! -
Death of spouse effect on my marriage visa?
crazykopite replied to trubrit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Contact [email protected] a lovely individual who will assist you in every way word of warning even though it’s your wife getting her money out of her bank account is a nightmare unless you have it as a joint account . My prayers are with your wife ! -
Short answer “ It’s a nightmare “ I’ve been involved in several deaths / cremations of friends “ if your planning on dying make sure you leave instructions as to what you want to happen for a simple cremation it’s between 15/30,000 baht to be returned to the U.K. look at £10,000 you need a zinc lined coffin if it’s just ashes or bones as they call it here then you need a death certificate as well as the cremation certificate the ashes must be in your hand luggage by the way it’s not ashes it’s bones so you will have to find someone to grind them up to make ashes or just take them as bones . When I go it’s going to be a simple no fuss cremation and the bones to be tossed into the sea when it’s all done and dusted which should be concluded within five days my death will be announced on my FB page

Thai Mercenaries Are Not Fighting For Israel: Ministry
crazykopite replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Reading this had me in stitches Israel do not need a ragtag bunch of Thai mercenaries assisting them far from it from what I have seen of the Thai army they hand out roses when they perform a coupe on the government that’s as much action they experience -
If your going to allow it allow it for all areas I see Koh Samui Koh Phangan and Koh Tao which are all in Suratthani province has not been given the okay having said that as a long term residence I have no problem being able to buy a drink 24/7 in any of these islands as you will always find a bar open as no doubt the old bill have received there monthly contribution to the coffee fund

American woman sexually assaulted in Bangkok
crazykopite replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Tinder is a sex dating site since Covid a lot of the girls couldn’t work in the bars and massage so turned to these type of sites Thai friendly is another one . I’ve used tinder several times I’m 72 living in my own and the girls you end up meeting eventually you find out that they are freelancers they never returned to there old jobs . Having lived and worked in the USA there are a lot of woman who are up for a bit of fun outside of there normal everyday life . It seems scary that you can now meet a woman on a dating site and before you know it youve been a accused of a sexual assault I think I’ll go back to my old massage lady she can service me once a week in my home that seems to be the safest option -
