  5. That extra £3244 buys an additional £1000 per year. You'd break even on the investment in about 3 years, maybe 5 or 6 times higher than what you'd get from an open market annuity.
  6. Unlikely in most cases, given that this is recognised as an extremely rare event and not something most people would expect in their current lifetime. Even the understanding of Nibbana, like the snuffing out of a flame is very hard to comprehend, it is not a personal achievement. Most would be drawn to Buddhism within their own culture by absorption and tradition, and in many respects the more mundane aspects of Buddhism function not dissimilarly to old fashioned Christianity with it's petitionary prayer, a wishing for better fortune. At deeper levels (and where outsiders might be brought into the fold), it is as others have mentioned suffering. If Nibbana is the ultimate exit ramp within Buddhism, perhaps the entry point lies in the Four Noble Truths.
  7. It was discussed here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1351759-thailand-may-ease-overseas-income-tax-rules-amid-global-changes/
  8. The newer PE visa is still a 5 year visa sticker but with one year entry stamp. For the longer 20 year memberships this sticker is replaced at each 5 year anniversary.
  9. Thanks. I wonder what will happen in practice - there was a recent poll saying that 58% of expats intend not to file at the present time. Also comments from the Finance Minister last month suggesting that the rules were under review. Three weeks until the deadline and things are still as clear as mud.
  10. If this income falls within the 0% tax range is it necessary to file?
  11. Maybe when sales flop he'll introduce the Bronze option like they did here 🫠

  13. Is this a new document published by the RD? Looks pretty scant on details. If 2024 remittances fall into the 0% band (<150000฿) is there a requirement to file? And what is the penalty for filing late when things are made clearer?
  14. Because of those damn thermites I had to replace my entire wood flooring with an expensive tile job. #ปลวก
  15. Very plausible, though where did he keep his phone..?
  16. Thanks for the inspiration for my next tattoo!
  17. Had an X96 mini for a few years (2gb/16gb), cheap and cheerful at around $20 but it does feel a bit basic. The performance actually improved significantly after a year or two when I did a kodi upgrade. Works OK, albeit with poor ventilation and a tendency to overheat.
  18. I miss the days when you could apply by post for a one year Non O on the basis of visiting friends and family from any consulate in your home country, with zero supporting documentation. Rinse and repeat year after year.
  19. Whether it was true or not, Britt Ekland's bum was fake - an imposterior. Terrific film, and Christopher Lee's personal favourite role.

  21. You need to get a Non Stick B visa before you can apply for a wok permit.
  22. I applied for CoR at CW earlier this week (not arrived yet). She asked for my TM30 and my 90 day report which I gave, and then said after doing 90 day it was necessary to make an updated TM30 showing departure date to match the permitted until date on passport, as previous check out date was left blank. Anyone else had this? I pointed out that a new TM30 would not be able to show my actual arrival date in Thailand and she said it didn't matter. It baffled me but it didn't affect the CoR, I was told it was something I could do later. The other thing I wasn't expecting, I was told the CoR is only valid for one month - wasn't it previously a year?

  24. One of the oldest local customs is peeing on the beach.
  25. Not easy to compare East with West in this regard. Lao kao aside, Thailand's sky high rates of liver cancer often involve history of hepatitis, plus there are dietary factors such as dishes like koi plaa which causes liver flukes.
