  1. IF there are any changes, nothing has been announced by the government, it's all scaremongering at the moment.
  2. Done 1500km on mine, when do you think it will blow up? 500w rear hub motor, 15ah@48v battery (Panasonic 18650 cells)
  3. Legal 250w motor or more powerful and illegal?
  4. Just buy one here then no problems. Got mine from Bangkok ebikes for 34kbht, they'll built whatever you want. What's special about yours, thought the UK was limited to 250w!
  5. They only lost until the UK joined the EU (a united Europe under German rule). Better late than never I suppose.
  6. NZ Pension for expats = -1/40th for every year you lived outside NZ. If you lived outside NZ a long time you'll get almost nothing.
  7. How would they identify YOUR bank accounts in a foreign country? Bob Smith in Thailand could be any of 10,000 Bob Smith in the UK. As we have no ID cards in the UK.
  8. Alternatively he could sell his house then move to Thailand with all his money after July and pay no Thai tax as he wasn't resident that year. Tax is only a risk for guys already living in Thailand .hand to mouth, and even then only a small risk as I don't believe it will ever happen.
  9. Seems the whole world is flooding at the moment. Spain, India, China, Saudi, Vietnam, Philippines, USA, Switzerland ........ my Facebook page is full of reels of extreme flooding. Chiang Mai will be next, the river is already over the banks near the Iron Bridge and Wat Fa Ham. Just this moment stopped raining for the first time in 36hrs.
  10. Decathlon for trainers, ADDA official store on Lazada for flip flops.
  11. I've never found women all that interesting, or share any of my hobbies and interests, so I've never bothered pretending women are my friends, just sex and reproduction.
  12. Why would I be bothered, or even think about it? Know what they are, pay for what you get when you get it!
  13. Why not tell them you have no bank accounts outside Thailand? If they were to ask (unlikely).
  14. Nobody told me to avoid relationships with women who had access to the western judicial system either. That would have saved me more than a million pounds.
  15. My solar panels say it's wetter and cloudier. My air con bill says it's cooler.
  16. Bacon, sausage, fried mushrooms with bread and butter.
  17. +0.5c over 140 years doesn't seem significant to me. Not to mention the accuracy of a guy in 1880. Back in the UK I'd want it 5-10c hotter, before I considered going back, at this rate it'll be another 2000 years!
  18. In Chiang mai this year was cooler than last year, and a lot wetter and cloudier.
  19. So you miss out on all the discounts and free shipping.
  20. The only people they really need to ask is the army.
  21. Or you could use your Thai debit card in any Viet ATM. Da Nang is not all that culturally interesting, beautiful beach and clean sea but that's about it. If you want markets, restaurants, sightseeing and cultural stuff, Hanoi is the place to go. Stay near the central lake with it's little tower in the middle. Evening food walking tour is good value for money, daytime cultural walking tour also worthwhile. Train to Ninh Binh is a worthwhile side trip then a boat ride through the lakes and tunnels at Trang An, and a walk up Hang Mua if you're fit enough.
  22. I live off my Thai wife, so the 400k will last forever.
  23. Answer, I don't have any income, just 400k in my Thai bank account. Answer for monthly method, I don't have any income, just the 40k/month mommy and daddy give me.
  24. Your posts aren't really clear. Who is taking whom to court? It's not your house, so I don't see how anyone could take you to court. It's not his business, so he also can't be taking anyone to court. For example, My wife ownes a house, but the land office have a signed document from me saying the property is nothing to do with me. Stand back, and repeat, "this property is not mine, I accept no responsibility".
