I (think) I need to file a UK tax return even though I may not need to pay any tax, as I have a property rented out in UK. But according to the UK Gov website I can't use the Inland Revenue on-line form as I'm non-resident. The website says I need to purchase commercial software to file the return. This seems strange as there's also the 'free' system on the Gov website .... but for UK residents only. Looking at the hundreds of commercial tax filing systems listed on the Gov website, the prices start around £60 GBP. What have other members done? Purchase the commercial software, just use the free UK one using a UK address, use an accountant, not bother? Seems wrong to have to buy software just to pay tax! (Also serves me right for being honest about living in Thailand with my gov pension .... no annual rises and I have to pay to file a tax return.)

These numbers look very low for everywhere except maybe Australia? The figures are based on a survey, not official data. I guess many "ex-pats" on tourist visas and/or maintaining a UK address for pension or banking purposes, will make any figures for ex-pats highly inaccurate. Only 41,000 in Thailand? There must be more than that in Pattaya alone?

Small crystals can form in the inner ear and cause severe dizzy spells. The Epley Manoeuvre (special head movements) can help, there's lots of YouTube videos on how to do it. I take Merislon if the Epley doesn’t work, and this helps but makes me feel drowsy. But there's many causes of vertigo, so recommend you see a Doc.

Increased NI payments come out of profit, not revenue. Still a decent amount of money, although UK supermarkets are quite competitive, so margins are lower than in Thailand for example, where CP have a clear leadership position. .

The only food product recalls I've ever seen in Thailand was a few during the melamine in milk issue, when some baby foods and other milk products were recalled. Big contrast to US or UK where there's typically 10 or more recalls a day.

A few years ago I did that mid-life crisis thing of riding a Harley across North America, and based on the people I met, I think Trump will win. Everyone I met on my trip was friendly and hospitable, but the standards of education, critical thinking and international outlook was much more divided than we see in Thailand. The more 'worldly' outlook was confined to the coastal regions of the East and West, and that big region between the coasts was very different. As foreigners we're exposed to the people and culture of the East and West coastal regions, but the rest of the country is very different, and that's where Trump gets traction.

When did Kathmandu become part of India? I think Nepal may want their capital back.

Yes, the same airline never paid the promised refunds when they cancelled flights during COVID. Untrustworthy business with poor customer service.

I heard the same dog also found a million baht left in a taxi and returned it to the owner.

Well yes, he should certainly be on the 'not allowed to breed (yet again)' list. There should be an IQ test before anyone is allowed to have kids. And the planet is not running short of humans, so set the bar high.

Unfortunately smart people are having few or no kids while the uneducated breed like rabbits - causing reverse evolution through survival of the dumbest.

Looks like UK has a 1984 style propaganda department. And the official 'Newspeak' language will replace words like 'Islamic terrorist' or 'radicalised' with 'mentally ill' and 'abused'. "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered".
