81 year old Thai man loses 22 million baht to police impersonator
Muhendis replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not fishy atall. EGAT is owned by the ministry of energy therefore Paisan was, in effect, a government employee. I think we are all aware what that means. Paisan knew he had some unexplained wealth and thought he had been found out so he tried to buy his way out. -

The boxes look nice. But I wouldn't say "all good" until after switch-on and all the blue smoke has dissipated........... -
3,900 Thai community radio stations to cease under new digital scheme
Muhendis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I think what you can and what you cannot broadcast already applies to analogue radio. There is nothing to stop a transmitter changing to digital technology and still transmitting unapproved content. Licencing rules are notoriously ignored in LOS. (Off topic for a moment. My wife applied to the local hospital to deliver drugs to patients. She was one of twenty applicants but she got the job easily because none of the others had a motorcycle driving license.) -

Muhendis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is not censorship in any way shape or form. The rest of the world has standardised on digital broadcasting so why not Thailand? The reason for the change to digital is the improvement in channel capacity, better sound quality, excellent signal to noise ratio, better range and less power hungry and transmitter equipment is considerably more efficient. Many countries in the rest of the world started doing this fifty years ago. TV is digital. Internet is digital. Mobile phones are digital. Audio amplifiers are mainly digital. Censorship happens regardless of the technology. -
Not true. "Lots of studies have looked at coffee and liver health. Overall these found that drinking coffee is likely to be good for your liver." https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/living-with-a-liver-condition/coffee/#:~:text=It should be safe for,cirrhosis if they drank coffee. Green tea is great. "Green tea is packed full of health-promoting compounds. Regularly drinking green tea can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of several diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Drinking three to five cups of green tea per day seems to be optimal to reap the most health benefits. Very high doses may be problematic for some, but generally, green tea’s benefits far outweigh its risks. In fact, drinking more green tea may greatly improve your health." https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-green-tea-per-day#TOC_TITLE_HDR_5

In the situation of a multiple page will, each page should be signed by the testator. The final page has the signatures of witnesses who have seen the testator sign each page. Any amendments are open to challenge unless initialed by the testator. The will can be stored anywhere you please but needs to be easy to find when required.

Thinking more. Ruangsangthai near Buriram city sell the epoxy by the bucket full so a bit of creative googling etc should turn up a flooring company or two.
-
No idea but I expect there are somewhere. First locate a supplier. They will know who is using it.

This could be a job for a clear, or whatever colour you like, epoxy layer.

Passport Collection From VFS Bangkok
Muhendis replied to prakhonchai nick's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Key Visa in Pattaya is reliable and prompt. Sadly Darren, the owner, passed away some time ago which happened right in the middle of the process of getting my new passport. As one might expect, this upset the apple cart a bit but the process still worked OK. -

If you are some considerable distance from VFS, then it makes sense to use an agent. -

British Pensioner Struggles with Frozen Pension in Thailand

A point worth noting is that if and when Mrs. Fox returns to the UK, all her pension shortfall over the years is paid back to her and her pension will be brought up to the current level. -
Thailand Considers VAT on Imported Goods Under 1,500 Baht
Muhendis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Leveling the playing field has nothing to do with Thai greed. This from https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/thailand-import-tariffs Add to this VAT on goods and transport. Now goods below 1,500 Baht Look out for government workers with unexplained wealth. Import Tariffs Last published date: 2024-01-09 Thailand’s average Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) applied tariff rate was 11.5 percent in 2021 (latest data available). Thailand’s average MFN applied tariff rate was 31.2 percent for agricultural products and 8.4 percent for non-agricultural products in 2021 (latest data available). Thailand has bound 75.2 percent of its tariff lines in the World Trade Organization (WTO), with an average WTO bound tariff rate of 28.0 percent. High tariffs in many sectors continue to hinder access to the Thai market for many U.S. products. The highest ad valorem tariff rates apply to imports competing with locally produced goods, including automobiles and automotive parts, motorcycles, beef, pork, poultry, tea, tobacco, flowers, beer and spirits, and textiles and apparel. Wine imports are subject to a 54 percent tariff and six different taxes; taken together, the effective duty and tax burden is nearly 400 percent. Industry has raised concerns about the import tariffs on wine and disparate ad valorem taxes that appear to favor domestic white liquor. Despite Thailand’s 20-year Alternative Energy Development Plan (2018-2037), which aims to increase biofuels consumption, Thailand restricts the import of biofuels intended for fuel use. Fuel ethanol imports require approval and issuance of permits by Thailand’s Ministry of Energy, but to date the ministry has not issued any approvals or permits. Thailand originally aimed to phase out premium gasoline containing 10 percent ethanol blends (Octane 91 E10) by 2018 and octane 95 E10 E85 between 2023 and 2027, with the intention of making 20 percent ethanol blends (E20) the primary gasohol. However, concerns over sufficient feedstock availability in Thailand have repeatedly delayed the full transition from E10 to E20. To look up specific tariffs, please see Customs Info Database. -

New Tax Rules for Expats in Thailand Spark Concern
Muhendis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This is what this post is all about. If you can do your own tax for in your home country, you can also do the Thai tax form yourself. It's in English. The numbers to search for on google are PND 90 for personal tax and PND 91 for employment tax. I have attached the forms below. There may be others and/or updated versions so before you complete your form it would be a good idea to do a search. PND90.pdf PND91.pdf
