He married her.

Those are it's plus points!

If Thailand is unable to send aircraft to repatriate its citizens stranded in Israel then maybe it can send submarines instead?

Sounds like that new tourist tax will need to be hiked to pay for that.

It does not count as a PET if the person making it retains any interest. If she is still living in the house then she must pay a "commercial rent" in order for HMRC to accept that she does not retain an interest in the property.

If your "family support" payments come from your income, not from capital, then these are normally exempt. Do you have a link for the exclusion of gifts made to a non-UK domiciled person from the 7 year exemption?

Could it be that there is a camera in the cab which recorded the customer entering his PIN to unlock his phone? I always prefer to use fingerprint unlocking, but it always seems to me that whenever I am somewhere where I do not want to be watched whilst unlocking my phone is when Android annoyingly decides that the "PIN is required for additional security"!

15 minutes of (social media) fame?

Good luck Tony.

I expect that a solution will be found when the appropriate number of brown envelopes are delivered.

October 13? Such a long time. That would mean over a month pretending to be in jail!

The food.

Disappeared in a puff of smoke?

Shrink? Maybe, but total evaporation is far more likely as I'm sure that Mr T will get what he has paid for.!

Thaksin or Thaksout? My money is on Thaksout and sometime very soon - weeks, not months. A year in jail? ROFLMAO - absolutely no chance!

I guess he's had enough of hospital food!

Then again, he might not! I'm not gonna hold my breath on that one!

I expect that there could be cheaper ways to get one's 15 minutes of fame.

If only Thailand allowed gambling I could run a book on how long before he is released! Some of the odds could be: 8 days - 5:1 8 weeks - 2:1 8 months - 1,000:1 8 years - 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000:1 ????????????????

So now we all know that NEW SEASON 88 is located on the Pattaya Third Road in North Pattaya, but this is a genuine news item folks, not advertising pretending to be news. Was it P.T. Barnum who said "There's no such thing as bad publicity...."?

If they extend the validity of visas then there will be less need for visa runs and they'll lose out on millions of B300 entry fees (albeit assuming the B300 plan ever gets off the ground).

Yes. You will be quizzed on the origin of the funds (I have been quizzed when depositing less than $1k, which the bank considered to be "big money"!), plus Cambodian banks can be very picky regarding the condition of $ bills. I recently had JTR's Riverside Branch bounce a $100 bill os "too old". I was surprised as it looked almost new to me tbh, and it was subsequently accepted without comment at JTR's Olympic Branch, but bringing cash, unless totally new bills from the US, can be a minefield.

Don't poke the bear. I have this problem with TTB due to one forename missing from my account. Their staff are so friendly and helpful every time I ask them to correct this and every time I go to the branch I spend about half a day there whilst they work on it and take multiple copies of my passport etc. I am then told that the change will be sent to head office and be corrected overnight, but it never happens. I suspect that it is the usual Thai problem of not knowing how to do something but being unable to admit that or to ask for help.

My thoughts exactly!

Of course the Justice Ministry is granting privileges to Thaksin, but these are not "undue". These have been bought and paid for!
