I wish I could understand any of that.

Someone has to be.

I was told by the Head man at my Tax office, "do you want to pay tax here" my answer "no as I pay tax in the UK" "you can pay tax here or your home country up to you" Is he right or not?

I get 900,000bht per year Pension via 3 pensions which I pay tax on in the UK, with all the discounts i:e over 65 etc I wont pay much tax here if indeed I need to at all.

"Cheapskates" I pay tax in the UK on my Pensions, I didn't think I would be required to pay tax again here, If I had been told that I would have to I would and wouldn't have a problem with it.

Thank you for the information.

I'm feeling better about this Tax thing as Mike Lister has kindly offered to help me understand it and hopefully how to do it.

I guess most laws are ignored here.

You are right in everything there is good and bad, everyone has an opinion which I have no problem with. Unfortunately my Insurance does not cover Bumrangrad Hospital, I'm okay with Bangkok Phuket Hospital and the other Hospital's here apart from Vachira, I hope I never have to go there again, it was a nightmare visit.

Is there a law about people not wearing a shirt in a shop because that really annoys me.

I've been told that Phuket Doctors are Mediocre and that Bangkok is the place to go, I've been to Phuket Bangkok Hospital, yes its expensive, I thought the Doctor was very professional, its not nice someone saying that you have wasted alot of money by attending a Hospital that has Mediocre Doctors in it, apparently I could have saved alot of money had I gone to Bangkok. I suppose Everyone has there own opinion.

Sorry I'm thick when it comes to calculations, don't really understand what you have said. Sorry.

My Tesco penson is not worth considering as it's only approx 1700bht per month

I do not have Thai Nationality. Is it the same for the UK state pension?

I have 3 Pensions tottaling 75,000bht per month, London Fire Brigade, Tesco UK and the UK Government State Pension. How do I get a tax Id code from, where do I go and will it cost me money.

I'm very very worried about this, I have always done the right thing here, wear a crash helmet, have a licence, have never been a problem to anyone. I've been very very ill over the last 3 years, I've got no one to help me, I don't know what to do or how to do it, I'm feeling very low and scared about my future now, Im 68 soon, I pay tax on my pensions from the UK and have done since being here(16 years) I want to do what's right but my mental health is a mess, I'm confused, scared and feel like life is not worth living, no I'm not going to anything silly, I have a Thai gf and her daughter to support, I won't let them down and never have since being with them for 16 years, I'm just very worried and in constant pain. I've been to every Hospital on Phuket, not one has been able to stop my constant pain, I'm at an all time low.

How can I get fined for something I didn't know about and not told about, plus I pay tax in my home country ffs

This answer will be interesting.

What about my 3 pensions that I pay tax on in the UK which are transfered here each month, why should I pay tax on them for a second time? If I have to I will but when will I have too? I'm not a wealthy pensioner.

Yea and?

I've lived here for 16 years and never paid tax on my 3 pensions here because untill recently I knew nothing about it, Immigration have never said anything to me about this at any of my extensions, tax office here told me "if you pay tax in the UK you won't pay tax here" do they know what they are talking about?

If I'm forced to pay tax on my UK pensions which I already pay tax on in the UK will I get a Social Security card giving me access to free Healthcare here? Have I got untill Jan to March of 2025 to file a tax return once I get a Tax Identification number? Has this come out yet or is it all hearsay at the moment?

Regarding my 3 pensions from the UK, I pay tax on all 3 in the UK, will I be required to now pay tax again on my Pensions here, I have not paid tax here in the 16 years of being here, a simple answer would be appreciated if anyone knows the answer, I am Completely confused with this thread.

The Colonoscopy is the only test I have not had, I am convinced this test will reveal what my problem is, untill I have had this I can't think about anything else, I'm quoting Bindi Irwin(Australia) who had 10 years of Abdominal pain, she had every test possible and nothing was found, eventually someone mentioned to her to explore Endometriosis, they found that was her problem she is now better. I mentioned this to the doctor, he dismissed it straight away, rare in Men but men can suffer from it, anyway untill I have had the Colonoscopy I can't think about anything else.

I'm waiting for the tests to be done, after so long and so many tests with nothing found it plays on your mind. I've had Blood test, EKG, X Ray blood pressure again all normal, just wish something would be found.
