  1. I believe that because of the taxation agreement that has existed between the UK and Thailand since 1981 it's unlikely that you will fall foul of the new regulations as of next year.
  2. It all depends on how egotistical you are. People who are terrified of commitment and are self obsessed are generally single. People who embrace commitment and are happy to put another person's feelings ahead of their own are generally attached. Being in a relationship is only for the strong minded. The weak minded need to stay single.
  3. Yes! Go for it! Basically it can be pretty much any protein that is stir fried with holy basil which is Kaphrao in Thai.
  4. I'm happy to pay for kindle books because authors that write them have a right to earn a living the same as anyone else. The OP states that he doesn't want to harm anybody but by stealing kindle books that they have written and own the copyright to he is indirectly doing exactly that. To download them illegally, the same as with TV shows, music and movies is stealing and is therefore morally indefensible. And yet the same people who do this are normally first in line to criticize a penniless shoplifter who's stealing food for his children. In the big scheme of things they are infinitely worse.
  5. From the original article... This ambitious tax reform agenda needs to be more than just a headline. It should be a meticulously crafted policy that serves its constituents — both the haves and the have-nots — without sacrificing economic stability. As it stands, the proposed taxation on incoming funds is a well-intended but half-baked plan, a ship sailing into murky waters without a compass. This just sums up the whole scheme in a nutshell.
  6. This month, for the first time in a while we didn't get any government discount on our bill. So this month's bill has actually gone up, not down even though we used roughly the same amount of units.
  7. My wife is 3 years older than me. 56 and 59. Back in the 1990s living in the UK I had a year long fling with a Thai woman who was 11 years older than me. I was 29 and she was 40. At the time I'd been trying (and failing) to date an older woman for years. It was very much a bucket list moment.
  8. I never payed a fee at Chiang Mai and I was asked to fill in the above form.
  9. As per normal this process will vary slightly from office to office. I had my stamps transferred to my new passport earlier this year at Chiang Mai and I can 100% confirm that there was an application form to fill in. But, weirdly this form is not the same as the one used for the same process at Bangkok immigration, which you can download off the internet.
  10. There is nothing like a nice civet crappuccino...
  11. I think giving all existing prisoners the same treatment as Thaksin isn't really doable...
  12. I definitely feel privileged to have "come of age" during the 70s and 80s. It was a simpler time where people didn't rely on technology and hand held electronic devices to run their lives. People weren't so easily offended and snowflakes were just something that fell from the sky every winter.
  13. I walk an average of 15,000 steps everyday plus two 20 minute sessions on my exercise bike. It really makes those relaxing, lazy moments all the more special.
  14. I'm off to CM immigration tomorrow as my under consideration period for my marriage extension is up. I hope they are not going to tie me to a chair and interrogate me before they stamp my passport!
  15. I believe that Phuket has a VFS Global office. I renewed my UK passport office at the VFS office in Chiang Mai earlier this year with no problems apart from the 10 weeks processing time... All you pay for is your new passport plus delivery to Thailand. There should be no reason to use an agent.
  16. Naivety appears to be the problem here. If something sounds to good to be true....then it probably is.
  17. What are their names? Hatari and Sharp?
  18. Are you referring to the younger age groups? Because when I was in my teens, twenty's and most of my thirty's I could have eaten everything you mention by the bucket load and never put on an ounce of weight. They probably have naturally very fast metabolisms.
  19. Same. We are Chiang Mai based and the router showing internet but not receiving any data really confused me! I've never seen that before. The website, call centers and membership app all appear to be down as well. This is clearly a major outrage for 3bb.
  20. I have my own built in alarm clock. It's called my bladder and it wakes me up at pretty much bang on 5:30 every morning. Which is an ideal time to start my exercise routine.
  21. Why does it bother you what others do? Personally I will still wear a mask where it is required and sometimes out of respect for those I'm interacting with.
