He died where he died, a few mumbled words from priest wont change anything but I'm pragmatic.

Hang out your Amulettes on the Siegfried line and smile, smile, smile.

Ali Baba blew his top.

The Chinese seem to be in for it lately.

There are paths that guide our way rough hew them how we may.

They have the sick Buffalo story.

Shakespeare this would have been a story for you. Ahh the joys of being old.

Yes, a right Muppet, he succeeded with the fraud then came back.

Yes, he lied to the land office saying the original was lost.

Obviously not an avid reader of Enid Blyton.

Why not? He's already bought the government, what's next, Tesco's?

Well he's right about the 'wokeness aspect but warrior ethos ? Somewhat of a romantic statement for what are basically hired guns.

An apt post considering the AN headline regarding expat taxation.

Very laudable attitude I'm sure but ignoring the tax office isn't the same as not paying a parking ticket. You may get away with it for several years but a knock on the door entails paying back taxes and a large fine as well as criminal proceedings. I don't know how it is here but in Europe tax evasion is a criminal offence, if that is also the case here then your visa extension could also be revoked, is it worth the risk? I have several pensions but it's all quite straight forward, I have calculated my deductions and worked out my own tax bill....just over 20k. In most cases you won't need a tax consultant and I have heard that the tax office staff are very helpful for a little tea money. I don't like the idea of paying tax, who does, but I will wait until the last day and then present myself at the tax office with my calculations, I'm too much of a coward to break a lance on the doors of the tax office.

Like syphilis?

I assume the man is homeless no more.

I don't care, I'll be dead by then.

Rescued or not this isn't going to help getting more tourists from China, they'll be working overtime in the TAT to clean up this mess.

555555555 the scammer complains to the police about being scammed by the police and gets scammed again, I love it.

"America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up."

That's coming anyway, give it another 20 years and there may still be a few strange people around who have a job.

Nothing, but it has to do with the general confusion about DTA's....burn me,

Because the statement from the German tax office appears to give permission to Thailand to tax me.

That's a good start, the tax office doesn't even know what a DTA is. I don't know what value these DTA's have anyway, there seems to be confusion everywhere. My letter of pension confirmation from the German consulate contained a clause that due to a DTA with Germany my pension wasn't to be taxed by Thailand, I don't pay tax on my pension in Germany. My German tax office said I'm not taxed in Germany as they assume I am paying tax in Thailand.

I wonder where all that money came from, Thaksin didn't do too badly for a policeman did he.
