I expect thousands more will also cut back in the same way. Thailand could lose a noticeable amount in the retail sector.

Exactly. I posted similar early on in the thread about buying a new car. I'm certainly not going to transfer another 1m baht + to put towards trading in my car for a new one when I could get stung for a big tax bill for doing so. Prior to Dec 2023 I transferred enough money to last about 2 years, including my daughters school fees and also the 800k retirement money. Like you, I'm now cutting right back on what I send here.

One liberal estimate puts the total value of all westerns in Thailand at around 3% of GDP per year. Recent surveys have shown that less than 10% of them plan to leave as a result of the tax change, some of that will be talk. Impact? Minimal, is my guess.

I normally change my car every 3 years and my current car is 3 years old this month. Due to the uncertainty around the tax implications of transferring large sums here, I've decided to hold off buying a new car for now. Several of my mates are doing the same thing. Dont know how many other expats will hold off buying big ticket items (even houses/condos) as they don't want to trigger any alarms by transferring large sums of money into their bank accounts.

I would be staying at 2 different addresses. Many times I will stay at my hotel address in Pattaya, and therefore I think it's easier to do all my visa 'paperwork' in Pattaya. But I will also stay in Khanom. So from Caldera's post, it seems that my absent landlord in Khanom should register for online TM30 notifications.

The problem with Hotels is that they only do the TM30 for your period of stay. Therefore, you will be effectively "missing" after checkout. Is there any way you can get a contract off your pal? If so, you simply show it at the nearest Immi office to Khanom with a new TM30. Or as SportRider just posted, do the TM30 online as well.After that, do your own 90 day reports on line. No need to visit immigration except for your yearly extension (by which time you may have found an agent in Khanom area).

Premier League clubs to hold vote on SCRAPPING VAR from the start of next season... after Wolves put forward the proposal following fury at multiple decisions this term.

Former Manchester United stars Wayne Rooney, Roy Keane and Andy Cole were united in their desire to see Wolves' motion to scrap VAR next season succeed.

What do you guys think?

I can't see it being scrapped. All the rest of the top leagues world who have enough the finances are using it. Why would we want to be the only ones not using it? How do we go on in the CL for instance? We'd have to have it installed for European matches or we wouldn't be allowed in

Course they can cos they put all their debt against the Stadium (yeah, the one that's falling down) so they can comply with FFP

Come of it mrboj...it was a mix of tears and spilled warm Budweiser lollers!

Well yeah, that was partly to blame but it hasn't been this bad in the 11 years since they won their last PL Trophy 🤣🤣🤣

This is truly embarrassing for the "supposed " biggest club in the world. More like a 3rd world stadium nowadays.

engage communities to halt illegal agricultural burning.

They still carry on burning (sugar cane at the moment) up in our village and nobody says anything even though they hate it. My wife is constantly cleaning up "black snow" in the mornings as its floated down onto our land. You can't leave anything outside or it's ruined. This is this mornings present. 🤨

Apparently he doesn't like living in Manchester. Already won it all with City so wouldn't be surprised if he moves on in the next year or 2.

I don't think it will affect you too much. The big test will be when Pep leaves.

Wrt Erling. There are always going to be rumours about this and that. Clubs and media trying to unsettle them etc. As Pep said, maybe Real M know more about it than he does!!

As for Pep. We have had him for a lot longer than we ever thought we would so yes, it's been great but it'll be a big wrench when he goes. I'm hoping that the professional way in which the whole club is run nowadays, that succession planning has already been well thought out.

No it wasn't only meant for United fans Rick. As with all the other topics, ANYONE can discuss and post in any topic. Jeez, you go on the City thread and post enough, so you should know that

Jellybean was reported to have scurried off to his Barrio overlooking the Malvinas following the draw late last night.

Mrboj apparently spat out his coffee in disgust after hearing of the news.

He's on the phone now asking why his bribe never worked!

Looks like we don't need to bribe anyone to win at your gaff now. What a weird stat that was

It has been quoted in the Times or the Telegraph he had nothing to do with it,

During the period that the charges are related to, he was THE MAN responsible for our deals which are under scrutiny. If we are guilty it was with his full knowledge. If he didn't know and these charges have any substance he would surely have resigned?
