I'll be sure to ask. Good day.

I bought a new computer about a year ago with SSD and Win 11 preinstalled and I'm very pleased with my purchase. The new computer even set itself up for me by transferring all my data (not personal files) from the old Win 10 computer. All it needed was my email address and my password, plus a couple of security checks. I had a bit of a problem at first in that it kept dropping off-line when I connected to the internet via a LAN connector and I had to resort to using Wi-Fi instead, but that problem has been resolved now and it's working just fine. I've been loyal to the Windows brand since the early days back in the '80's and have no hesitation in endorsing this latest iteration.

Thank you for your efforts. However I have been into this very thoroughly. I know the details of my home country's DTA and from that I know what can be taxed here and what can't. I also know what offset allowances I am entitled to here in Thailand before any tax is due. I'll do not intend to discuss my personal details, but I have deduced from the above that my taxable income remitted to Thailand will be comfortably below the threshold which would be set before I have to pay any tax here. And even if that wasn't the case, I would be able reclaim any tax paid by having my home country's tax free allowance adjusted accordingly. In other words it would it would be my home country's revenue service that would pay the tax due in Thailand, not me. Have a nice (tax free) day.

As I pointed out in a post yesterday. those that worry are very often those that end up with hypertension and as a result end up being conned into taking these ghastly meds. I don't fall into that category at all, in fact the very opposite.

There are lots and lots of threads full of speculation, nothing more than that.

Sorry pal but I'm not in for a shock at all. Even if they do implement this measure my income is already taxed and covered by a DTA with my home country. And incidentally I have known many Thais who have let money slip through their fingers. Lots of it in some cases. Yup, I completely agree with you. Far too much trouble for too little a return.

My hypothetical answer is that if you use an ATM card that attracts such, then that's what your going to pay, whether you like it or not. However there is still no concrete indication that we, as foreign residents here will be liable to taxation. It all seems to be very much 'up in the air' right now. Stop worrying about things that may never happen. It's a virus that seems to spreading faster than Covid just lately.

I notice from an earlier post that you too use and trust Omron monitors, so I wonder why you are displaying any doubt about them. Well I trust mine too so I can see no reason why I need to go and make comparisons with other machines. These modern machine tend to be 'fail safe' anyway. They either work or give you an error message to ponder. I think many people have become too hung up on these metrics to the degree that here we have a poster panicking because his readings are 'normal!' Whatever next?

How can he teel whether the one he is comparing his machine with is accurate? Many people on here say that machines in hospitals and clinics are not to be trusted, including our own resident doctor. (see above) Omron is one of the best known home testers and are often used by professionals as well. I have the same model as the O/P and I would trust that rather than some of the dodgy machines I've seen around here.

I was having a bit of a problem for a while, but then I found these. 2 per day at breakfast and no more constipation.

Spot on buddy. I haven't heard about these changes that you refer to, but non the less, I only have show that I have an income of 40k p/m, do a moderate amount of paperwork and pay 1,900 THB and and that's me good for another year. My only other obligation is to keep up with my 90 days reports which take me no more than 5 mins each time. I would even dream of changing anything.

Alan Watts, "How to quiet the mind'. To my mind the most intriguing philosopher of the 20th century.

This can be a problem, but think the user soon becomes aware of it. I use the same make and model as the O/P and it does detect this issue and warns the user accordingly.

Lucky you! IMO many people end up with hypertension because they worry about it too much and maybe about other matters as well. So my suggestion is a simple one. Don't worry about it!

An autopsy is a standard procedure worldwide when a crime is involved. I'd have thought you would realize that.

@Prubangboy, 3% Hydrogen Peroxide is the stuff that's recommended. I've noticed that some of the OTC bottles are 6% which may account for your problem. If I do find that I have the latter I dilute it 50/50 with saline water.

I've had this problem for many years and find 3% hydrogen peroxide very affective. A few drops in each ear, twice a day for three days and I'm good to go again. You should hear a soft gurgling sound in your ear. That's oxygen bubbles forming in the wax and breaking it down. But don't overdo it. Wax does serve a purpose in that it protects the ear canal and if you go at it too much you could leave your ears vulnerable to infection.

Yawn! I've been through all that already!

Possibly because that person's fingerprints were on all 6 tea cups, placed there when she handled the drinks.

Mankind has been making and storing 'records' since Roman times and earlier. It doesn't mean that they utilize them. What interest would HMPO have in a person's travel records? In the vast majority of cases, unless there is a 'red flag' they will simply be stored. Other agencies might have an interest, such as Border Force, the NCA or indeed DWP, in which case the information is there to be retrieved. A good example of that might be the recent case of Richard Barrows, found hiding in Thailand after almost 30 years on the run.

That is true, but I'm pretty sure that HMPO do not act as DWP's 'wicket keeper'. On the other hand if if the DWP's suspicion's were aroused, it's possible that they could call upon HMPO to provide evidence, (data protection rules permitting) but they have plenty of other ways of scrutinizing ones travel movements and nowadays bank records as well. It's becoming a riskier game all the time and as the O/P pointed people do get caught out.

If you renew your passport in the correct matter here in Thailand, your old passport will never be seen by either HMPO or the DWP. It's stays right here in Thailand. So just renew your passport as normal.

Oh didn't they? It's estimated that over 6 million Irish have emigrated to the US and no less than 23 US presidents have Irish ancestry.

Then start a recruitment drive for legally documented workers.
