  1. I've got those traps but you still get wiffs now and again, keep them topped up maybe helps, occasional drain cleaner stuff, my condo office supplies that, look out for it
  2. I can see a movie, Dumb and Dumber go to Thailand
  3. Spread the money so you don't run out, healthcare can get very expensive towards the end. Drawdown a pension? of course if you don't need it now do it later
  4. 4 or 5 on a motorbike, they can only blame themselves

    Tattoos

    The good news is it looks like tattoos are dying out. In Windmill...as an example, the new ladies coming through would be tattooed up, now most have none
  6. Sounds like a George made up story, maybe they'll all the same person, Dan
  7. Would a "non UK resident" receive the personal tax allowance?
  8. When i was in a Russian hotel a highlight for me was a porn channel on the TV, that's all you need really
  9. You seem to know about this stuff, how many floors up can people be rescued from the outside?
  10. You may be right but it looked so weak it couldn't reach the higher floor on fire, per the video
  11. I prefer facebook and Instagram reels although do use YouTube a fair amount
  12. We are talking about Wise here and not swift via foreign banks to thai banks. Fact those Wise reasons for transfer only relates to Bangkok Bank so only if you send to them and select the correct reason will it show as International
  13. Lucky to put the fire out, a weak hose aimed a couple floors up
  14. I have a good thai female friend (non paid so not a fake one), with thai men it's tricky as often a language barrier, a couple i have a little chit chat with
  15. This .gov link is quite useful "You need to register for Self Assessment if your income from savings and investments is over £10,000. Check if you need to send a tax return if you’re not sure" "Starting rate for savings You may also get up to £5,000 of interest and not have to pay tax on it. This is your starting rate for savings. The more you earn from other income (for example your wages or pension), the less your starting rate for savings will be. If your other income is £17,570 or more You’re not eligible for the starting rate for savings if your other income is £17,570 or more. If your other income is less than £17,570 Your starting rate for savings is a maximum of £5,000. Every £1 of other income above your Personal Allowance reduces your starting rate for savings by £1" https://www.gov.uk/apply-tax-free-interest-on-savings
  16. Based on what you wrote in your post there may be a bank interest free allowance of £10k, google it to find out
  17. Nope. Perhaps Op isn't using Bangkok Bank and that's why
  18. It does make sense and it's important for farang to be on the committee, but you can't change things overnight, feel the water, slowly slowly catchy a monkey. In my place if you disagree with the Juristic person / who has a controlling interest you will be kicked off at the next opportunity. It's the same as work, need to get people onboard
  19. The answer is in some condos there is corruption in others there isn't. I wouldn't just play along, talk to other farang committee members. As a condo owner i wouldn't be happy paying for bribes and other frauds
  20. Lawyers and accountants involved with these company setups need jail also, farang are so gullible
  21. Lawyer can find out for you
  22. Smart TVs are stupid, you'll probably need a box anyway. Salesman needs to provide details, channels etc, there are free TV apps but they will work on any tv box or stick
  23. The spongers back home love these extra conditions, the more comorbidities the better to get the benefits
