I have no problems with refunds to my Lazada wallet, then sent to my bank account. You must be doing something wrong.

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Asking for payment and being able to take (or enforce) payment are not the same thing. -
Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Only if they believe you are dead. Suspending your pension for any other reason would be gross misconduct (malfeasance?) and I don't believe anyone working for DWP would care enough to risk that. I would also point out court action would bring much negative publicity to DWP along with expense far beyond any chance of recovery from the pensioner, and a chance of losing. I can't see them having much incentive to chase pensioners who omitted to change their address, I did even read that DWP has no current address for as many as 40% of state pensioners. -

Almost the same for me ......... Detached 3 bed house in gated village 10kbht/month Old pickup truck, tax and insurance 2kbht/year, first repair this year 1k65,diesel almost nothing as I mainly use my eMTB. Medical nothing, I'm ok with death. Food/drink 5kbht/month mostly bacon and sausages. But then .......... Wife and kid ........ Another 30kbht/month. If only I were single! And to keep on topic, when I moved here I didn't know about frozen pensions. Mine isn't because I've never revealed I moved out of the UK. I still use my old UK address, despite not living there for 15 years, and nobody has noticed. -

Many older people are easily frightened by their government. The DWP threatens (although effectively powerless to act) and the easily frightened volunteer payment. As for proof of life certificates, they don't send them to pensioners living in the UK. -

Many people go on a big boast all around them about how they are moving overseas. The others get dobbed in by family members and friends or former wives. On the other hand I don't even tell my Brit kids where I live, certainly not my bank, GP, DWP, or any other government department. As far as they know I live in the UK. Best not to let anyone know your name, address or business. -

UK nearly the same as USA, BUT employers aren't that charitable, assume their 10% comes from you getting a lower salary. -

My NI payments were near 20% of my salary, but if you don't work it is a handout. -
That wasn't created by white people.

Used car market in a jam as electric vehicles spark trouble

We were born where it was easy to make money. They were born where it was easy to have sex. I prefer the money! -
Loved his music when I was a teen. Then he went all Christian and it was the end of his music career. Watched Millennium earlier this month.

BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This was explained to me by a gfs brother ......... he had a home made of sticks and a 1M5bht pickup outside. "The home is for my wife and family, it won't impress the girls I'm trying to pick up!" Seemed a good explanation to me. -

To be fair, new EVs are often cheaper than secondhand EVs. The problem is the secondhand vehicle market, not the type of engine. -

BritManToo replied to Celsius's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Had my 1997 Nissan Big-M pickup for 14 years, paid 150kbht ...... now worth 50kbht. So less than 10kbht depreciation per year. @KhunLA How much do you think it's price will plummet next year? -

310kbht for a NETA PLUS If that was in a showroom near me, I'd probably buy it. -
Chiang Mai Floods Prompt Urgent Response to Swollen Ping River
BritManToo replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
Nah, a wall with a cycling/footpath along to top would be great. They can put flood free restaurants and bars on stilts alongside the wall. -

When I can buy one for 250kbht, let me know. It's just not worth paying more for any vehicle IMHO. -
First change your location from hua hin to Chiang mai. Next you need to find the action, like live music need to state your age, if nearly dead cu corner between moonmuang 1 & 2 live music Friday night, if a bit younger moat house on moonmuang has live music randomly on ground floor or rooftop, last Friday was rooftop with a couple of young Thai guys playing guitar and bass. Loads of live music everywhere ........

I'm happy just to get my turn! No need for further thought required on the matter. Back on topic, I find it very convenient in Thailand to be able to buy antibiotics without the 1-2 week delays we are forced to suffer in the west. The quicker you can take the medicine, the easier it is to treat the problem.

..... And all without a condom ........ And any anti biotics you can name at 40-100bht a packet.

Believes in facts and his imaginary friend. Bit of a contradiction in that somewhere.
