Went to the Hilton in Phattya yesterday for my 77 th birthday for lunch for 4 my shout.  The place was 20% full which made it a pleasant lunch hour for us not good for the hotel.

Bill came to 3200 Bhat = 3 bottles of water and a dry martin for me.  They gave me a nice small birthday cake free which we all eat while seated.

Maybe the price puts most off and as I looked out of the window to the distance only see 4 sea parachutes while in the old days they would have been even in low season 25 flying

TODAY IT IS AT 41540

Does that mean my HP Sauce? will go up in price 😞

Glad to get the conversation going I am a New Zealander, so it does not bother me what they do with the U.K. government pensions.

To build a canal without British consent is the way to go after you got their consent and not allow the Chinese's anywhere near it.

Got my big lump sum in on the 23rd Dec Happy Days

brought a big lump sum in when I got 21.9 bhat to the nz $ too late to do anything now just hang on in their guy's new year's present for some.

Just asking I get paid a tax-free pension in New Zealand from a defined benefit plan that I had for over 30 years with AXA. When I first started to pay into it the product said all pensions will in the end be paid to the member Tax free. So I am wondering did Axa pay the tax on the accumulating returns over the 30 years that it earned on my contributions? If so do I pay tax on any money I bring in from the proceeds of this pension?

dont want them

just simple money laundering coffee shops and cannabis shops

as I said b4 it is looking more like a lot of lump sums will be coming into Thailand just b4 the 1st of Jan to get around the new rules.  To get one at least the next few years worry free

Might be a few that will go dark after 1st Jan and not go to the immigration Depatments ever again. no more 90 days or 3 months showing your 800k is still there.

Yearly renewal retirement visa not bothering.  Many things to now think about. BUY Gold cash it in when needed for cash to live on. Many more older overstayers.

Time will tell

If you have any money in a Thailand bank you are automatically changed tax on it here, check your bank book and you will see this happening Hence they automatically have your tax ird number.

I can see a few big lump sums coming in just b4 the 1st Jan 2024 to beat any tax grab by the Thailand government.

why am I not surprised?
