I agree. It couldn't have been much of a barrier. Looking at the photo and what is laying behind the workers, a piece of approx 12" x 12" concrete laid across the end of the road.

Yes, the lighting is stepped down through individual transformers. I think you are correct because I have some LED tube lights in bathroom cabinets that flash. Though can only see it when dark.

Finally getting some rain this morning here in Samui, along with thunder and lightning. Never noticed this before, but each time lightning strikes, all my lights briefly flash. Even though not switched on. Does anyone know if this is a normal phenomenon? Or does it indicate a fault somewhere?

They'll all have to go a lot higher to beat PT's 10,000 offer.

Surely deliberately shooting at someone with a gun should incur a stronger charge than bodily harm. The critically ill innocent 13 year old might agree.

Beautiful looking snake, even if deadly.

I think I know why they said "No! No! " in AIS... They don't cut keys. ????

And two of the victims were police. There seems to be a lot of police involved on the wrong side of this case.

i believe BKK Bank and one other bank (not sure which) can show as Foreign Transfer if sent for certain reasons.. If you possibly have one of those bank's accounts and put reason for transfer "retirement or long stay" I think, couldn't you send the money to yourself here, then transfer to hospital? You would still be paying it yourself, albeit from a Thai account.

It might say 30 degrees on whatever site you are looking at, but believe me, it feels much hotter. It has been 36 in the shade in my open sided gym all week.

Only a thought. Could it be the exceptional hot weather, along with heat from the filament has caused the inert gas inside to expand? Caused enough pressure to pop the glass? Or maybe just a weakness in the glass from manufacture.

Maybe, but the fly in the soup will be what she does to try and bring her father back without him facing judicial process or doing prison time. That alone might trigger another coup. Don't forget the outcry when auntie tried the same thing.

And if her baby is born into office, it will be an early start for the Thaksin premier for the next generation. ????

What about those beer girls in their beer dresses and the beer table mats etc? Isn't all that a form of advertising?

If you mean those Breville type sandwich toasters, they have them in HomePro, PowerBuy, and Shopee. Like these? https://www.powerbuy.co.th/en/product/russell-hobbs-เครื่องทำแซนด์วิช-russell-hobbs-17936-56-235447 https://www.brevillethailand.com/en/category/9461/144/sandwich-maker https://shopee.co.th/Breville-VST041-Deepfill-2-Slice-Sandwich-Toaster-i.180478652.7209864305

I've never tries buying from, or even setting up an account with Amazon Singapore. Might be worth a try. Thanks.

I hope they never sent him to Samui.

I have found our postal service here in Samui to be pretty good. Whenever I send parcels or letters, I always ask for 'Tracked and to be signed for.' Especially when I send from Europe or the UK.

You can usually see the price including duty and separate price of postage before proceeding to payment. Sometimes choice of normal post or express post. Amazon include everything. Sometimes, several months later I occasionally get a small refund from them as duty was less than expected. I buy from both UK and US stores.

Imagine grabbing the bum gun and seeing the name Kärcher on it. Would it instil just a little bit of fear? ????

I stayed in a hotel once where they had one of those super duper japanese toilets. The control panel for the built in auto bum gun was like something off a spaceship; pressure, temp, pulse, angle etc. All it needed was an "Engage" button.

I posted my OP as though I have been receiving my work pension for almost five years, this was the first time I had received a P60 pointing out the tax I was paying. I found the wording on the Gov UK website regarding tax on pensions to be somewhat ambiguous. See below the main part that I wasn't sure about,. Which Is why I asked. If you’re not a UK resident, you don’t usually pay UK tax on your pension. But you might have to pay tax in the country you live in. This made me wrongly believe I could claim the UK tax back. I have gone through the figures and it seems you are correct. The first 12570 is tax free, and the remainder is taxed at 20%. It has also made me think about getting my tax affairs in order. Especially as I have shares which cannot be put into an ISA as a UK non resident, but which could be Iiable to CGT. Thanks to everyone, especially nigelforbes for all the advice and valuable info offered.

That CPR looks to be quite strenuous. If the person giving it had any underlying problem, as mentioned, it is possible that the CPR in what was probably a stressful situation, exacerbated said problem. RIP. At least you went trying to do something good.

But looking at paragraph below, wouldn't it be possible to avoid any double taxation by Thailand on money earned outside by not bringing the money in in the same year it was earned? A resident of Thailand is liable for personal income tax on income from sources inside Thailand and on assessable income derived from sources outside Thailand. However, the imposition of tax on income derived outside Thailand will apply only to income derived and brought into Thailand in the same year in which such income is earned.

Not only that. Endangered species as well.
