Surely if the couple are living in Thailand they could just cancel their UK bank account and keep the Thai one so the Inland revenue can't get near it. But something tells me it won't be as easy as that.
You are not dumb mate, a few years back you told me how to use a client to download movies and TV shows, you sure done me a good turn there. Now I can't get Pirate Bay when I press on the client, not too worry I just use another one now.
If I am wrong I stand to be corrected, but are the senate not unelected generals who stopped the guy Pita from being PM on technicalities as he had the most votes in the last general election?
One day at the old Bangkok train station on the platform a Thai guy was sleeping on a bench with his case on the next seat. there were no spare seats on the whole platform so I asked him in Thai to excuse me, he never heard so I moved his case off the seat and sat down, he then woke up and started shouting at me obviously in Thai so I just looked at him and laughed.
No, if there was the duty free shops would soon be out of business, come to think of it, is Swampy's duty free not being stopped or something like that?
You would need plenty of money and take the chance that the insurance company does not up your cost dramatically or even just stop your insurance when you get to seventy.
Yes as long as you have plenty of resources, and in most cases not of retirement age as you may then have to choose between eating and heating your home.
I remember from between about 2018 up until the Chinese virus started that whenever I was in Bangkok I noticed a lot less westerners in the streets, there were a few small adjustments to the law rather than any crackdowns which affected a lot of westerners negatively due to the soldiers government and lots of reports about foreigners leaving.
"Some entire streets of tourist areas were literally boarded-up after past "crackdowns" (this was long before covid)."
That's right, and who was responsible for these crackdowns? It was the soldiers led by General Cha Cha who stole the country in an illegal coup.
Tell the truth. Have you ever seen any policemen walking about Soi 6 or anywhere in Soi Bukhao just checking anything? The only time you will see police in any of these Soi's is if they are called to some disturbence, and after about 9pm it would have to be a really serious disturbence.
A lot of them are, if you are ever in Pattaya for any time you will soon see plenty of losers starting their days with their smokes and alcohol especially around the Soi Buckawo area.
