  1. Don't think there's gonna be much in the way of pension rises worth having in the future. The past 2 years made 20%, next year 4% ....... think I'll be gone before it's another 20% aggregate rise. (allegedly state pension claims average 8 years in duration)
  2. Amber Heard shouts, "I love the smell of 350 billion dollars in the morning"
  3. I pay my MIL 3,000bht a month NOT to live with us. If she comes to visit -100bht for every day here. Result ....... not seen her for 2 years .... well worth the money ..... so much for close family bonds! I don't really interact with her family or friends, they pass through but a wai from them and a wave back from me is about it. I don't let her mix with my pals either.
  4. If you're just renting monthly in Thailand, not that much more, and if you're a big drinker probably less. I was living here on multi-entry Non O for about 8 years, and visited these countries every 3 months, single flights being 1K-3Kbht a time. So I guesstimate 20-30Kbht a year extra on my normal yearly living expenses (accomodation a little more, alcohol a lot less). But if I were taxed in Thailand on my normal years spending, around 2,000bht pa on 600kbht brought to Thailand it wouldn't be a saving (tax allowances 60k me, 60k wife, 190k over 60, 150k pension, ?? child in education, 1.5%? of first 150k).
  5. Vietnam (as a Brit) 45 days visa waiver on entry Philippines 30 days visa waiver on entry Malaysia 90 days visa waiver on entry That's nearly 180 days with no immigration visits or VISA purchase! Unlike @Scouse123 I don't eat local food, but there's plenty of foreign restaurants everywhere. The Philippines (Barretto) had a particularly wide choice of foods I like, German, Mexican, Australian and British.
  6. After being dumped by his party, why not hide?
  7. So don't tell them you've gone back to Thailand!
  8. I bet that wasn't what you called fighting when you were in Serbia during the cleansings.
  9. Not interested, they contact me by phone app if they really want.
  10. The email looks like Phishing to me, as the account holder isn't addressed by name. But if it is real, and you aren't American, you'd return it as 'no taxable income', so no need for a TIN. And that only if they try to close your bank account. Is Kbank writing to every Thai account holder that hasn't filed (about 80% of their customers)? My misses has a Kbank account, no TIN, and no email. Just thinking about it, neither of us have emails at our Thai banks, wouldn't all legit contact be through the banking app?
  11. I have nothing but contempt for the British police, DPP and the British courts.
  12. I'm not convinced anyone should have the right to hold protests.
  13. Muffins are for breakfast Crumpet is for teatime
  14. Don't think I've ever fought for anything, and can't think of anything I would want to fight for. Free speech, don't care Gay rights, don't care Womens rights, don't care Land ownership, don't have any Immigrants, let them all in, they can't make it any worse Germany (or Russia) ruling England, they can't be any worse than the Labs or Cons The one thing I've learned in life, nothing really matters, and there's nothing worth fighting over.
  15. I'm nearly 70, how much damage can half a joint an evening do? And if it's processed, will it still have the same medical effect? All that CBD they try to flog does nothing for me. High THC Indica hybrid (70%+ Indica) is all that works for me.
  16. And I identify as an Arctic Emperor penguin!
  17. You're Australian, why do you care?
  18. You're the one shilling for him, so you ask him!
  19. Nah, All the foreign crooks and scammers working in prohibited professions have 'office manager' work permits. They are only legally allowed to interact with their office staff, if they interact with customers they are illegals. That's why they NEVER show their work permits. Doesn't look like this interview is being held in a registered Bangkok office either. So again, breaking the conditions of his work permit.
  20. Since I've started smoking cannabis every night, all my aches and pains have gone. Used to have arthritis, a little in my knees and swollen finger joints ..... pain and swelling now gone! At nearly 70, I feel like I'm back in my 40s.
  21. What work permit does he have to work in this Thai only restricted profession? When I see videos like this, I always wonder, why does the interviewer never ask about the interviewees work permit? If I have to 'abide by the rules', why does he not have to?
  22. Maybe those 15M voters never existed!
  23. Tata gold, black loose leaf tea, 180bht for 500g, https://s.lazada.co.th/s.IK664 Typhoon tea bags, 109bht for 100 bags, https://s.lazada.co.th/s.IK6wo Why look further?
  24. Yeah, but muggers, stabbers and robbers don't leave their name and address with their victims, so obviously not as easy as calling on a journalist about a 'naughty tweet'. Also consider that many police are judged by clear up rates, You could spend a week chasing a burglar and get nothing, but two tweets a day (with a 2x 1 hour stop for breakfast an coffees) gets you 10 collars in that same time.
