Overstay question
tubby johnson replied to Tayida's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They'll lock you up like a criminal and record it for eternity. Do not ever overstay. -
Yours is the sanest comment on this thread. Everyone deserves due process. Just because the suspect is a heretic from the Church of Woke doesn't mean that the self-righteous mob should gleefully call for his punishment and humiliation. Shades of a more totalitarian past I hope won't return. The OP has form. He previously changed his avatar to a photo of Robert Mueller as Batman during the frenzied attempt to get President Trump convicted for being a puppet of Russia. Despite thousands of hours and millions of dollars spent on this grandiose inquest, nothing was proven and Batman Mueller slinked off in ignominy. Disclaimer: I'm no fan of Tate. I think he's a douchebag and his massive popularity among certain men is baffling.

Paying Tax on Overseas Investments
tubby johnson replied to 2009's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I'm an EU national, invest in mainly US stocks and some European stocks via a European broker. Dividend tax is withheld on these stocks. Once a year I transfer my dividend income to my Thai bank account, and subsequently use it to fund my retirement here in Thailand and qualify for my annual extension from immigration. I've never had any queries from either the tax authorities or immigration. No hassle. -
You never met a Yank? Lucky you.

Sequel of "Gladiator " to start filming in May !
tubby johnson replied to Social Media's topic in Entertainment
At one point the musician Nick Cave got involved. I'm quoting the BBC and various other websites. Nick Cave wrote this screenplay: "Following his death in the first film, Maximus goes down to purgatory and is sent down by the Roman gods, who are dying in heaven because there’s this one god, there’s this Christ character, down on Earth who is gaining popularity. As many of the gods are dying, they end up sending Maximus back to Earth to kill Christ and his followers. Following a series of events that see him being cursed to live forever, the film ends with a montage of Maximus fighting in various conflicts throughout history such as The Crusades, World War II, and the Vietnam War. The final scene sees Maximus working at The Pentagon in modern-day America, continuing his eternal struggle against mankind's most depraved of emotions whilst still contending with his inability to reunite with his deceased family." Hmm ???? ... Too bad this won't see the light of day. -

Am I wrong .... would you say anything ?
tubby johnson replied to steven100's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
And that's the crux of your problems. Get yourself sorted out. -
It depends on how it's pronounced. If it's "kin khaaaow ruue yaaaaaang !?!" then it's meaningless banter such as "what's up?" or "hey, how ya doin?". Ignore it. If it's "kin khao mai?" then it means "Do you want to eat my knee" = "Are you asking for a knee in the balls/chest?". It's a threat. Back away do not escalate.

Discouraged but tacitly allowed and tolerated. You can't avoid the common people if you're not willing to cough up extra baht for protection.

He was horsing around, broke the law, and paid the consequences. He could scream himself hoarse that this is all just an innocent misunderstanding. But on a serious note, news stories such as this are tragic. The man looks awfully old and frail for a 63-year old; his own fault if he didn't look after himself properly. But he was probably just minding his own business at home with his wife, the Covid mass panic hurt his finances, and he might not have anyone to return to in the US. Here's hoping he gets his life sorted out soon.

I regularly receive both the .nig emails and the phone calls - as do most other people, I suppose. The .nig emails end up automatically in my junk folder and I report the phone calls as scams. No hassle, just don't be gullible in today's world.
