I'd bet most of that 300,000 was put up by his insurance company. Good luck finding Worapong if/when this ever goes to trial.

RIP to the cyclists.

^ Just needs to get me down to the end of my street and back, but thanks for the reply!

I've been putting 91 into my Honda Wave for years but my local petrol station has finally run out. Will it run smoothly on 95?

^ I'd like to know more about this if anyone has details.

OP,

Can you legally drive a motorcycle with a car driving license in your home state in the US ?

Didn't think so. Not sure why you thought you could.

Great!

Looking forward to it!

I've been feeding my two dogs Tesco brand dog food (supplemented with table scraps) for nearly 8 years, and both of them are very healthy and active.

20 Kilos for 1,000 baht.

When visiting tourist locales, I quite often am given the nickname "you you".

^ Are you 100% sure of this? I thought the only visa available on arrival was for business.

Giving this thread a bump to see if people are still pleased with TOT WiNet.

If anyone has a link to the TOT site where I can find pricing information that would be very helpful.

Thanks.

With apologies to Jay Z, "I got 99 problems--and a house in Pattaya near a Karaoke bar ain't one."

Everyone keeps saying I dont know the full story. This is not the case. We know the family very well as Ive already said. We know the families and kids full story.

How can you know the "full story" when you admit in the OP that you haven't even met or spoken with the husband?

their mum has married a guy from Norway who I havnt had the chance to meet yet but cant wait to have a chat with him.

Stop being such a busybody and find another hobby other than sticking your nose into other people's business where it doesn't belong.

Quick note of thanks to everyone. I went to 3 banks today and all went well picking up the withholding forms.

Two points I'd like to mention:

All you need is you bankbook and photo ID (Passport, Thai DL)

I was able to pick up the form at a branch different from the one I opened the account at. Though YMMV.

Really looking forward to trying this place out!

My trip to the bank was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Do you think I could get the tax form at any branch, or does it have to be at the bank where I opened the account?

Why do people keep telling me to mind my own business when they arent minding their own like you hypocrite.

If you weren't interested in getting replies, why did you start the thread?

Why do people keep telling me to mind my own business

Gee, I wonder.

I'm really confused now ...... You start off with the next door neighbor part ...... now you don't live here , but somehow even though your not the neighbor because you don't live here, you talk to the next door neighbors about this guy enough to know a man you never met well ? How do you talk to the neighbors who aren't your neighbors ?

Im there a few months a year. That must qualify as a neighbour.

Well the either the grandmother's English or your Thai must be excellent, because this is a very complex and nuanced topic for which a rudimentary vocabulary will not be enough.

My point is if you marry a lady with kids, you should want the best for them all

How do you know this bloke doesn't want the best for them?

I know the full story. Living next door to the family and everyone loves a good chat.

Also known as "idle gossip".

The only people who know why they parents aren't there are the parents themselves. Don't be such a busybody and mind your own business.

Or if you're that concerned, start adoption proceedings.

From the outside looking in, it appears that the children are not being raised the optimal environment. However, no one here (including the OP) knows all the details regarding why the parents are not present or when they are returning.

For the OP: Mind your own business.

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone here know how to say (or even better, write) "tax withholding form" in Thai?

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the fixed deposit interest rates have dropped significantly over the last couple of months? For example, in the middle of last year, SCB was offering 3.35 and now they're offering 2.6.

What documentation should I bring with me to the bank to get the tax withholding letter?

I was planning on the following:

Bank Book

Tax ID Card

Passport

Work Permit

Is there anything else?

Thanks very much!

There is some great information on this thread. Thanks to everyone for their informative posts.

I'm going to the banks today to pick up the withholding letters and have another question:

Do accounts that don't mature until 2013 have any withholding for 2012?

Good suggestion.

Thanks!

No way that I know how to check if they received it however.

That's one of the things that really annoys me about this requirment.

As far as the deadline is concerned, I just send it in at the same time as I file my my taxes. Easy to remember that way.
