Self harm is what he does best

wolfs, lions, tigers and even chimpanzees wouldn't agree with you.

They'd need an Arab and a donkey for that shoot

Prison inmates just might make that happen.

Not so much different from the West then.

apparently not. It's the woke idiots who ought to be sacked.

It must have made the cretin see the funny side of things when he heard the explosion as the bullet left the barrel.

The attempted murder charge should have stood. At the very least it was attempted manslaughter.

What a brave statement.

I agree, pedestrian crossings are a hazard in Thailand and should be removed.

So brown envelopes don't cushion seismic waves ?

Give him some credit, he owned a casino and filed for bankruptcy, that takes some doing, I thought the house always wins.

Consuming with maxed out credit cards might be a tad difficult, especially when the products are no longer in stock.

Yes, I'm starting to agree with those who say ignore it. If it is true that state pensions from Germany aren't to be taxed in Thailand then despite my company pension and small Uk pension which can be taxed I still fall below the tax threshold due to deductions. I don't transfer all my combined pensions so how are they to disentangle what should be taxed and what not, by percentage perhaps? When at the office the officer was good at telling me what I could deduct and what not (he was assuming that the total transfers were to be taxed) I don't think DTA's were on his radar. My wife tells me that in her conversations with him he seemed unsure about the whole thing. I have since met with two Germans whose Thai wives accompanied them to the office told their husbands to ignore it, I presume they are more used to the machinations of their own government than we are. I've decided not to return to the office to fill out their forms as they don't appear to know anything.

Yeah, because the UK is doing so well

I'd deny it as well

but the new interpretation hasn't. It's like years ago when the 90 day reporting was ignored by the IO and then suddenly became necessary, nobody was fined for years of not reporting.

Well thanks for that........I wasn't trying to be argumentative, it was just something I found on the web which was easier to understand than civil service speak. So the Tax officer would know this?

Islam is a terror organization.

That would be nice but I think the TRD see's this differently otherwise they wouldn't be going to the trouble of printing tax forms in English and giving out info regarding taxation. Ignoring them is a risk, it maybe that this will all fall by the wayside during the course of this year but conversely they may up their ante an in the next year they will want to know why you haven't paid tax last year. I'm not a poker player.

I haven't been back since and don't have a tax number. I am under the impression that the TRD's new interpretation of the tax laws concerning expats doesn't require a change of law and that we are tax liable. My pension comes from Germany, it isn't taxed there as they assume I am taxed in Thailand, as far as I can make out German pensions aren't covered under the DTA. I have worked out that I would be liable to pay 28 - 30 k in tax.

It has where I am, Surin province, I was ordered to get a Thai ID (pink card) first, then I was told I couldn't offset my Thai son (17 and 'legalized) because I wasn't married to his mother, both of whom live in my household, I was told to get an end of year statement from BBK concerning my pension transfers and to come back when I had done that.

perhaps being born in Germany with a German father and never applied for Thai citizenship?

I doubt that he was an innocent victim but rather the author of his own demise.

'She' also hasn't shaved in that pic.
