I wouldn't be too quick to have a go at a homeless person. Who knows what has happened in their life? Plenty of homeless vets in the US. Should they be chastised for poor decisions without any knowledge of what has happened in their lives? The world is full of decent people who are one misfortune away from being homeless.

My understanding is that each time you enter during the one year validity period of the visa you will get 90 days. If you enter with one day left you will get 90 days. I don't see why you wouldn't be allowed to extend that 90 day permission to stay for another 60 days. Hopefully one of the visa experts on the forum will post soon to confirm whether that is true.

I would be wary about taking the advise that providing a false address is not illegal. Technically it is fraud by misrepresentation. A bank would probably take no action other than to cease doing business with you. The NHS, on the other hand, may view it as you receiving a financial gain if you are non resident and treat it more seriously.

Nothing to do with the SET. Money from abroad is what is being targeted. If the money from abroad is from CG or dividends then it should be declared as coming from those sources and taxed accordingly. If the money is from an inheritance are Thailand going to ignore their own tax rules for inheritance money and tax it as income?

If the money is from capital gains and dividends theoretically you would pay Thai capital gains and dividend tax on it not income tax. Currently 15% and 10% I believe. A tax form would have to be filled out at some stage declaring where the money came from, it would be fraudulent to state it was income if it came from CG or dividends.

I am totally powerless against it: The Google Machine!

Are you trying to tell us that you are easily led, can't think for yourself and have no self control? -
A couple of months ago I had a registered letter take an unusually long time to get to the UK. Tracked as leaving Thailand within three days (posted late on a Friday) then was in the wilderness for 17 days till the tracking logged it as at Heathrow.

Goodbye Alcoholism, Hello Sobriety!

Yes, he regales us with his tale of the potent elixir that he has never heard of and his scepticism, his research on the internet and its miracle effects but then refuses to let us know what it was. The more the thread goes on the more it smells of more BS. -
They have a small ultrasonic bath with a tube and a thin wand. Low pressure water is pumped from the small bath through the tube and wand into your ear. All I felt was a slow trickle of water from my ear and fragments of wax came out with it. My problem is I get a pellet of impacted wax down by the eardrum. There is no way that is coming out with microsuction.

Turns out that the data they were using was incorrect. https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/alleged-spikes-in-medical-conditions-military-after-covid-19-vaccine-based-on-faulty-data-thomas-renz/ Back on topic, my son in Bangkok was ill with similar symptoms a few weeks ago. Was tested at the hospital and confirmed as H1N1 flu.

Had similar experiences. One doctor tells you to use oil for a few days then come back for the syringe and another boll@&ks you for using oil.

Bit naughty but I do it myself. Put a drop of mineral oil in the ear every day for four or five days. Use a garden watering head set to the thin single jet of water. Start with low flow and direct into ear from a few cm away. Increase flow as necessary. If I could find a place that used the ultrasonic method I would go there but all I get round here is a nurse with a thin tube trying to suck the wax out which doesn't work.

It seems this is nothing to do with xenophobia or a money grab by the Thai government. The conditions have been forced upon Thailand by your own Western governments imposition of the Common Reporting Standard. Sorry for the long link but couldn't find a quick way to shorten it on Android. https://sherrings.com/common-reporting-standard-crs-tax-laws-thailand.html#:~:text=The Common Reporting Standard&text=It is a standard set,financial information that is exchanged.

Battery replacement for an old Huawei phone in TUKCOM, Pattaya

UK bank app was no problem but I have read that you need to visit the bank for a Thai bank app. Didn't have a thai bank app at the time so not sure about the process. -
Battery replacement for an old Huawei phone in TUKCOM, Pattaya
alanrchase replied to bondjames007's topic in Pattaya
I was the same when I replaced my phone a couple of years ago. However when I switched the new phone on instructions came up on the screen for how to swap everything from my old phone onto the new one. The time consuming issue was having to put usernames and passwords into all the apps that required them. -
Living Without Passport?
alanrchase replied to MakichGak's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What do you mean by forwarding firm? Similar to Kerry, Flash? Do you mean an agency that helps with passport renewals? How did you arrange for your embassy to return your new passport? Did you give the equivalent of a stamped addressed envelope for the forwarding company? Did the embassy have to contact the forwarding company when the new passport was ready? When you say "passport returned" is that the embassy saying they returned your new passport or the forwarding firm claiming that they delivered it to you?
