  1. No can do. Bought new but the company i went with gave me discount for trade in. They will obviously go and get them re-certified. TiT
  2. Cheers for that. I'll give them a bell 👍
  3. My large gas bottles are out of date. Approx 7,000 baht to buy new. I believe you can get them re-certified if you get them tested. All the local gas bottle shops don't do it and aren't helpful. They just want me to buy new from them. Anybody know where you can get them re-certified please?
  4. Would it be possible for a mod to move this to the Pattaya forum please.
  5. Didn't know whether to post in here or the Pattaya forum. I'll try here first. My daughter is in her IGCSE year and will be doing her Math IGCSE in Oct/Nov this year. Ip until this year she has been fine in math but this year got a new teacher and her scores have plummeted. To barely passing. I have had a word with the school but hitting a brick wall. Obviously this is a major year in school exam terms, so I am looking for a math teacher for either evening or weekend hours to try and get her back on track. She's a willing student and is frustrated with this teacher. We live in Pattaya on the darkside, so if anyone can help or knows someone who can please let me know and also does anyone know what the going rate currently is? Approximately of course.
  6. I intended to trade in my car for a new one last year but the possibility of having to pay tax on the money I'd have brought in put me off. I know several other expats who haven't bought cars for the same reason. And they want us to bring money in!!!
  7. Spot on. Im in a detached house. On one side is the best dog in the world, loved by both its Thai and Belgian owner. It's constantly walked, cared for and trained. Never really hear a peep out of it. On the other side are 2 small dads that constantly bark at everything and anything. The Thai owner doesn't even try to train them. They are really getting on everyone's nerves. Somebody jokingly said about "shutting them up". It wouldn't surprise me
  8. Maybe they should start with compulsory lights on at night!! I just don't get why so many Thais ride around without any lights. Baffling
  9. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. She should be paying you.
  10. 1 woman half knew, the other had to get on the help desk
  11. I've just been into the bank and although they were very helpful it took about 30 minutes. Could be look of the draw. They also wanted my UK tax number
  12. Has anyone been into Kasikorn to check if this is a genuine email? I'm going to pop into my local one today. I also opened the attachments, which I never normally do unless I'm convinced it's real. Hope no malware was in it.
  13. I also responded to K Bank asking why they require me to complete. I'm a UK citizen residing in Thailand. Awaiting response also
  14. I'm not trying to evade anything. I'm asking a genuine question and trying to not pay anything unnecessarily when I dont need to. The money transferred will go directly into the Hospitals account and they will pay tax.
  15. Marvellous. Sounds the way to go. Thanks for that. 👍
  16. Yes but when it arrives in the receiving bank, I dont think it shos up as it's me who sent it. I've just looked at some transfers in my bank and it shows as a transfer from K Bank, which must be the bank who Wise use. Thats the bit where I'm trying to clarify
  17. Maybe someone has done this. I have an operation coming up soon and for the new tax rules would prefer not to transfer the money using Wise from the UK into my SCB account and then paying from there to the Hospitals account. It's circa 700,000baht so I dont want that money going into my personal bank and being subject to additional tax if there's another way. Has anyone used Wise to transfer directly to the Hospital?
  18. Wonder if any of you local members can help. A mate is looking for anything horse related for his up and coming new business. Been out looking today and can't find anything. He's looking for anything like a saddle, riding hat, horse shoes, jockey silks etc. Basically anything associated with horse riding or racing. It's all to hang on the wall or display so condition isn't a big issue. If anyone can point us in the direction where we might find something it would be greatly appreciated.
  19. Absolutely concur. As well as myself, I know of 4 other foreigners who have decided not to renew our cars because we don't want to run the risk of having to pay tax on the money we bring in to buy a new car. They really haven't thought this through
  20. Hello Rus. Nice to hear from you my old pal. Coming to Thailand anytime soon?
  21. We have a thread. Just can't post in it. Mai pen rai
