I'm sorry to hear that, (out of interest, where was that?), but your comment does make it harder to understand why you should be brutal, callous and oblivious to the suffering of the people in Ukraine. 'Big pretender', what's that about ?

I think she 'profits' by leaving him. She obviously hates him, (don't you watch the body language?), and her life must be a quite awful. Money isn't everything old Chap - or is it?

Proton - I don't know but you imply that you do. Perhaps you could link some detailed evidence of a) Obama 'deporting millions' and b) the Bishop's reponse, to inform us all a little better. Or is just 'trumpian' BS ?

Celsius your post is callous if not brutal. As I said before, I hope that you never have to face such horrors yourself.

Whilst I don't incline far towards 'woke' positions generally, I thought Buddi's address was quite moving and to the point of tackling these issues with some humanity. It was fun to watch the twisted expressions of the Trump clan as Buddi spoke. Trump is of course a monster - the narrowed eyes of the awful Melania also told a story - but she could get a massive payday by jumping ship, whyever would she stay ? The rest of the Trump clan looked totally discomfited - the charitable view would be that some of them were secretly thinking, "Go Girl" !

Celsius that's a disgusting reply. Attention seeking ? The plight of Ukraine and it's people brings a tear to the eye. I hope that you never have to face what they have.

Last time I looked, Au Samet Dang Restaurant (Krua Samed Dang) near Khao Laem Sing forest park, had an area of this kind. Beautiful location. Amazing views across the sea, back to LS. ATB

Try Chai Chet resort in Klong Prao beach area. A friend went there 12 years in a row - we went for Christmas. Lovely beach for a swim. Beautiful surroundings. Brilliant and inexpnsive restaurant. Family friendly. Good luck.

Clag - you reply to a July post. Thanks for reading back. But please try a few more words ? Your reply is ambiguous. Coming back to the point, a worsening in Trumps condition since July is already evident. Time for a new generation to take over ?

Kamala isn't cowardly. It would be just as true to say, that anyone at all who voted for this criminal, is cowardly. God help America . .

Nicky. Nice opportunism with typical Trump type thinking. How any single American could consider voting for this slimy, duplicitous, criminal, sexual abuser absolutely defies me and I seriously worry about all those voters, and the USA and the World that depends on it. I'm mortified. The morons have taken over the asylum. Wake up !

If Harris wins, there'll be an enormous sigh of relief all around the Western World. If Trump wins, God help us ! No alternative then but to sit back and watch the chaos unfold........ The Republicans should have kicked Trump out in 2020 !

Old, NoDisplay and ChiangMai - thanks for the heads up. PwC also list the UK as having DT status although the UK seems missing from some lists. Old - in your earlier post - "Hopefully a tax clearance certificate will not be required for annual extensions". I hope that proves to be the case for my renewal in January. GLA

Old - I wish. Here's another one from 'integrity legal'. MMMmmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbm8xeIEI3w

Hi Dander. No DTA between Thailand and UK. Yes I pay UK tax under self assessment for 15 years, every 6 months. We'll see as to the rest of it. Forewarned is forearmed ! Thanks all.

Thanks Chiang Mai - so I wonder if I'll get my Visa renewal without Tax Reg, due Jan 31st ? MMMmmmm

Re. my last - It's a shame you jokers who chuckle and confuse don't try a little harder to contribute constructively e.g what are you confused about ?

Thanks very much Chiang Mai. I'm wondering when "tax filing time" next year is ? My inclination is not to rush into tax registration whilst all this is settling down. As these measures progress, I wonder if there will be any recognition that monthly pension payments, particularly private pension payments, do not represent earnings of the previous year as such i.e. they are repayments to me of earnings I made many years previously, in this case, from 1985 to 2008. My 'Retirement Visa' comes up for renewal on 31st January 2025 - I wonder if I will have to be in compliance with a Tax registration, by that stage ? Thanks for your help. It's important because balanced comment on the topic, is hard to find. Hopefully others will have found your answers helpful too. ATB

Rolo - yes but what did you think about the advice he profers ?

Just as an aside, I subscribe to the UK Daily Telegraph. Over recent months I have been shocked to see their coverage of the US election - of course, it's a conservative newspaper but you'd think, until today, that Harris didn't exist. I notice Sky News has been in a similar vein but today, just a little more coverage of Harris. When she's elected (?), they'll just have to face up to it! I still see and read comment that seems to ignore and bypass all the downsides of the revolting Trump - quite how any person or media outlet might take him seriously, in any way, defies imagination. Let's hope, this time tomorrow, we can say 'good riddance' to Trump !

Thanks CM, (other comments welcome of course).

Thanks Chiang Mai. "Source of UK private pension, government related or not? A UK private pension approx THB 600K . . . . + an OAP Married, wife working or not? Partner 10 years not working. Wife files own tax return? No children and their ages? None in Thailand Thai purchased life of health insurance? None Children in higher education in Thailand? None Tax deductible investments in thailand? None So my position is quite simple really ! Any thoughts about this Thanks again. ATB

I've tried to get a grip on this topic - but 73 pages . . . Please can someone with a good grip on this subject, do a 'drop anchor' and give us an update, on this or a new thread, hopefully with some recent links. I am 'Tax Resident' in Thailand and transfer about THB 700K p.a. to Thailand from the UK. My income is UK Statutory pension and a UK Private pension, on which I pay UK income tax. My situation is fairly typical of many I guess. Please help if you can. Thanks

STF - yes a Trump defeat will enliven the 'goons' but hopefully, they can be dealt with, again. Remember the goons have watched many from 2020 get incarcerated for their trouble and the Dems are in residence atm.

I've just noticed a 'Theblether' edit about Ron de Santis - myself I would see him as a disastrous alternative. Regarding, Harris, I was reflecting on how she turned the race around in such a short time since stepping in. The contrast between her energy and Joe's, is stark and vivid. If Joe Biden had not stepped down, it would have been a runaway Trump win. God bless America !
