Where the delivery addresses the same on both devises? that will make a difference to delivery charges, especially on big items
Then maybe one was 'logged on' at the time and the other not. Lazada relies on the post code to calculate the total cost. I do not believe for one moment that Lazada operates 'dual pricing'. Any difference in price is down to location. I presume the same also applies to Shopee

The discussion in question was sparked by a YT post - found it - screenshot attached. Whether this is in-force - I would rely on recent reports.
From immigration's own website:
Conditions for receiving notice of residence more than 90 days online
- Submit a request in advance before the due date for the next report within 15 days.https://tm47.immigration.go.th/manual/IndexForeign.html
Take your pick.

Regarding the comment in the last paragraph firstly it had nothing to do with the landing gear but the reverse thrust activating during flight.
If you care to read the report of the investigation into the accident Lauda had followed all the recommendations from Boeing who had never encountered the problems leading up to the accident.
From memory no blame was attributed to the crew or airline.
I got that information from the report via Wikipedia:
'At 23:08, Welch and Thurner received a visual warning indication on the EICAS display that a possible system failure would cause the thrust reverser on the No. 1 engine to deploy in flight. After consulting the aircraft's Quick Reference Handbook, they determined that the alert was "coming on and off" and that it was "just an advisory thing". The pilots took no remedial action',
Make of it that you will.

I think you're getting confused with postal applications.

The problem is obvious. There's a tree stuck in the front landing gear.
We did have a problem once in Singapore (RAF Changi) when a python coiled itself around the nose wheel leg of a parked aircraft. (Sorry guv, well above my paygrade!)

You are right, the A320 family aircraft do not sport an alternate gear door retraction. If the gear was lowered via manual gear extension, the gear doors would have stayed open. I think they were supposed to fuel at U-Tapao anyway as DXB-MNL is too far (even though their theoretical range may have been sufficient, pilots do not like to cut it so very close - they like extra fuel, especially for unscheduled charter flights).
Yes I agree with that. An undercarriage problem will typically only manifest when the gear down is selected and that would only occur during final approach. So the flight must have been on approach for a landing at U Tapao for refueling. It was on its way after only 1 hour so I guess that it was simply an adjustment issue with one of the many sensors on the undercarriage.

41 minutes ago, Gottfrid said:I fail to understand this incident. The pilot was supposed to fly from Dubai to the Philippines. I warning light shows, about the landing gear, and he feel the need to do an emergency landing at U-Tapao???? What if it was a temporary failure, and it fixes itself during the rest of the flight? Also, what is safer making an emergency landing at U-Tapao instead of continuing the flight and take care of the landing gear problem in the Philippines?
The pilot did not 'feel the need' to do an emergency landing, he followed the clear and strict instructions to land as soon as possible. It may only have been a spurious electrical problem or it could mean something more serious. And it seems that it was, the undercarriage initially failed to deploy.
Pilots don't try and 'second guess' a problem, they follow the procedures. They DO NOT ignore warning indicators, ever. The flight crew of Lauda Air flight 004 did that and look what happened!

Yes they did increase slightly for GBP-THB transfers but nothing to be alarmed about, they are still have a very competitive edge.

Sounds good
Does count on AN to? Or is this the place you give yourself freecard?
This forum is toxic sometimes, and still it amazes me every time someone take the energy to give a negative emotion.
Which maybe reflects their toxic negativity.
The number one problem with social media, including AN, is that we are often tempted to write before we think! And then even worse, we hit the send key without giving a second thought.
Yes indeed, AN can be a very toxic environment and exercising self restraint can be very challenging at times, but it's worth it. Putting a negative thought into writing gives it oxygen and in the end will do yourself as much harm as the receiver, maybe even more so.
I do wish more people would realize that. Visiting AN would a little more pleasurable. (and my ignore user list would be a lot shorter)

Full control, whether in retirement or at any other time, is an illusion. Much that affects our lives is totally beyond our control.
That is very true but it's not really the point that the article is making. It's how we react to things that affect our lives that count.
We don't have to get annoyed when someone cuts us up in traffic, or have a hissy fit when immigration ask for an extra document. Nothing is gained by getting irritated by anything that causes us grief. Just note it and let it go. There are three 'Golden Rules' that I try and live my life by:
1. Let go of worries.
2. Let go of thoughts.
3. Enjoy the moment.
It ain't always easy, but it's an approach to life that's well worth cultivating.

Fines and campaigns would do it (especially fines).
I agree with your first line, but not the bracketed comment.
Fines are both reactive and soon forgotten. IMO relentless campaigns are the way to get the message across. In the schools and on the TV. Try 'pop up' messages on smart phones. How about SMS reminders to all subscribers? The only way is to hammer out the message time and time again.
That's how many western societies managed to curb the habit of drunk driving. Constant reminders.

Unfortunately the articles you quoted contain many generalisations. However did you bother to read that last link you quoted?
4 hours ago, topt said:QuoteBased on this level of income or ฿780,000 a year, the average foreign resident could possibly face a tax bill of ฿71,000.
Yes of course I read this part of the linked article as my own remitted income is somewhere in this bracket. But I was addressing the O/P's situation, not my own, so I did not consider it relevant.
But since you mention it. If someone is remitting such an annual sum into Thailand and it has not been taxed at source, then yes, they could well be liable to a large tax bill. But I am addressing and always have been, the issue of retirees remitting their already taxed pensions and that's a different matter altogether.
Every article that I linked above suggests that such persons will not be subject to taxation once again and until someone comes up with any information that suggests otherwise, I'm sticking to my guns!

I am 76, retired UK national with an income of about 25,000 baht a month income and 1M Baht on deposite in a thai bank. How will the new tax laws affect me please? I am married to a thai woman and live in a house that I built and paid for. I have no debt. Thanks for any comments.🙏🏼🙂
@notrub, do you recall how all this kerfuffle started and when? It was on the 18th Sep 2023 in an article in the Thai Enquirer which was copied here in ASEAN NOW.. You can go and read it if you follow this link.
And when you've read that go on to read this article in Siam Legal's website
Not convinced yet? Well try this one by BTI solutions.:
https://btisolutions.co/will-you-be-impacted-by-thailands-revised-tax-code/
Or this one from Thai Examiner:
I could go on there are more, but importantly I have not yet found a single article that indicates anything that contradicts notion that retirees on pensions will not be affected by this new law.
The only place that suggests otherwise is right here in ASEAN NOW. IMO this is nothing more than a home grown rumour,
Relax notrub and stop worrying. And for heaven's sake ignore the doomsayers.

Wrong again. It has been proven that Coral bleaching is caused by high water temperatures just as it says in the article.

Don't tell me they look young, ones they over 40 they look the same.
That is far too much of a generalization. My wife is 62 and she is still quite an attractive gal. A little plumper than she was when we first meet, but back then she was working full time as a masseuse and that's quite hard work.
To answer your original question, simply put I find my Thai wife less demanding and far more tolerant and forgiving than her western counterparts. It's one of the Buddhist characteristics that I do have respect for. That's not to suggest that they're all like that!

If say you transfer a lump sum to Wise from your Thai bank account and set up a scheduled monthly transfer to your Thai girlfriend over a period of your choosing, how would Wise know of your eventual passing?
Until Wise becomes aware of your demise, they will continue to do the transfer until either the money runs out, or the period you have set expires.
But why worry about it, what does it matter to you? You're dead and gone. If you're bothered about 'over paying' her, set up the transfers in limited chunks, say 6 months. If you're still alive and kicking, renew the arrangement.

Today we have another sad story about a Brit to read.
To ride a motorbike in Thailand is not for a long life. Driving a car he would have been alive.
RIP
If he had been driving a car in the same reckless manner as he was riding, he could have killed the Thai motorcyclist or the pick up driver.
Would you have been ok with that?

I always do mine as soon as the 15 days period begins, just in case there is a delay in the system. There never has been, but you never can tell.
There is nothing to be gained by hanging on until the last day.
