Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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. -
Crisis in Mae Sai: Floods Leave Residents Trapped
BritManToo replied to Georgealbert's topic in Chiang Rai News
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. -
Decathlon for trainers, ADDA official store on Lazada for flip flops.

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.

Why would I be bothered, or even think about it? Know what they are, pay for what you get when you get it!

Why not tell them you have no bank accounts outside Thailand? If they were to ask (unlikely).- 421 replies

Sound advice
BritManToo replied to maesariang's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
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. -

Paethongtarn Govt Expected to Last Full Term, Poll Indicates
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The only people they really need to ask is the army. -
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.

I live off my Thai wife, so the 400k will last forever. -
Over the years
BritManToo replied to Rampant Rabbit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
Can the Asean Now Community Mediate? Your Input is Needed!
BritManToo replied to Sam B's topic in General Topics
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". -

If they finished the job and it works, you have to pay. If they didn't finish the work, you don't pay. So does your solar installation work? -

Destination Thailand Visa Gains Popularity Among Expats
BritManToo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Went to a digital nomads meeting in Chiang Mai last night, almost all frumpy women and a couple of effeminate looking guys. Ages ranged from early 30s to mid 50s. -
Honour, duty, loyalty, bravery, morality, honesty (etc.) are western knightly cultural virtues that were invented to control male behaviour. Females don't really have morals as we think of them it's not in their culture. But trying to apply them to an Asian female ........ just no!

When I call my bank/DWP/IRS from overseas, I use a Skype phone number that appears to be in London. They can also call me back on that London number. $90 US a year and well worth it. I have a very common name in the UK, my bank doesn't have my passport number (I never admit to having a passport) or NI number, and thinks I'm living in the UK, I use a 3rd party to transfer money around (that isn't a bank) so how could they inform Thai authorities about anything? Do you know who I am? ......... no you don't, and I'm not telling.
