I can't believe it, I'm watching racing from Flemington and Old Flame is one of the favourites in the next!

Just had a moment of nostalgia, thinking about an old flame!

I'm not debating, I'm stating fact. The reply by Siam Legal, who manage the website clearly states that "Only income earned inside Thailand shall be subjected to tax during retirement. " The fact that the guy who asked the question was Swiss is irrelevant. My replies are to help individuals who have read your misguided comments and I will let them decide who is the bullsh1tter. I have nothing further to say.

I know you don't speak the King's English Nigel, but I would have thought that this is pretty clear, even for a Yank Article19 Governmental Services (1) (a) Remuneration, other than a pension, paid by a Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof to any individual in respect of services of a governmental nature rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority thereof shall be taxable only in that State. (b) However, such remuneration shall be taxable only in the other Contracting State if the services are rendered in that State and the recipient is a resident of that other Contracting State who: (i) is a national of that State; or (ii) did not become a resident of that State solely for the purpose of performing the services. (2) (a) Any pension paid by the Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof to any individual in respect of services of a governmental nature rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority thereof shall be taxable only in that State. (b) However, such pension shall be taxable only in the other contracting State if the recipient is a national of and a resident of that State. As I said, UK pensioners with no earnings in Thailand are NOT taxable here

My advice to any UK pensioner, reading this bullsh1t is, as long as you don't earn money in Thailand, keep your pension earnings to yourself as you will never be asked to fill in a Thai tax return! You are NOT taxable here.

Another one today in Haadrin! Not serious this time, but a woman got a nasty sting nonetheless.

The purpose of my thread was mainly to warn party goers of the danger of swimming in the sea at the moment. So the jelly fish didn't attack the child, it just stuck its tentacles to him and injected its poison! Hope you enjoyed Arsenal yesterday, I did????

I don't know the full details, but apparently a child was swimming in Haadrin and was badly injured by the jellyfish, so much so that a helicopter was brought to Koh Phangan police HQ to airlift the child and medical personnel to the appropriate hospital. Fingers crossed that the child survives.
