And the Tax on that ticket ?

 

We used to get the TG Airmiles with our previous Card (Citi ROP), I don’t think the miles per baht ratio was as good as yours (I think it was 1:20) - but we still had to pay Tax on the ticket. 

I recall one time the Tax alone on the Airmiles ticket was more expensive than buying my Son his ticket separately (some weird setup about using Airmiles for kids tickets but charging adult tax rates).

30+ thousand baht.

How much do you have to spend, and on which card in order to get that reward please?

SCB My Travel.

You get 1 mile for every 17 baht you spend.

A round trip business class ticket with Thai is 180,000 miles.

17x180,000 is 3,060,000 baht.

And before you all think I'm rich, a lot of that expenditure is on behalf of the company I work for!

I truly understand that the proprietors have to cover their A$$s-sets, so in some (Thai) forums there is a delay in your post--while Mods check it.

There is no time delay when you post on this forum. Your post is live immediately.

Ouch, that's pretty vague.

 

If you have two doses of Pfizer here in Thailand, they way I read that link, you would not qualify as fully-vaccinated?

The guidance is very specific.

At the present time Thailand is on the UK red list. This means that if you have been in Thailand (or any red list country) in the previous 10 days before arriving in the UK then only British and Irish nationals and those with permanent residency will be admitted to the UK.

When you are admitted you must quarantine for 10 days in a managed hotel, at your own expense.

In this scenario it doesn't matter if you are vaccinated or not and it doesn't matter what brand of vaccine you received or where you received it.

You will be entering managed hotel quarantine and you will be paying for it.

I just noticed the word "inheritance" in the title of the OP.

My strong advice would be to arrange this before he passes. If this has to be resolved through probate the legal costs will be quite substantial.

You are confusing share ownership and company directorship.

The first thing to do is to hold a shareholders meeting and propose a motion to amend the list of shareholders. If this is voted in favour then the minutes of the meeting need to record this and be signed by the correct number of directors. You will need the cooperation of other shareholders to do this if your friend controls less than 50 per cent of the shares.

In terms of actual ownership, he needs to attend the Department of Business Development with his children and transfer the company shares to their name.

There will be a nominal fee for this.

If the meeting is held first then the change of directors can be dealt with at the DBD at the same time as the transfer of shares. If you do it the other way round your will need to attend the DBD two times.

Shareholders can be any age, directors must be 20 or over.

Cheapest PCR test I have seen is 2,400 baht for results within 48 hours or 2,600 baht for next day results by 3pm.

What is the batch number?

I assume if you rent out a house with 5 rooms to one person it counts as one unit

Correct. What is counted are the number of lease agreements, not the number of rooms per lease.

You need to obtain a copy of your condo rules. They will state what is and what is not allowed.

The rules will also state the monetary fine if you do break the rules.

...is there anything I need to do/look out for ?

Arrest and being charged with theft and then being taken to Court if you do not pay to resolve the situation.

The bike is not your property. Steal someone else's property and expect to pay a penalty for it.

i doubt that, i hear business owners saying how difficult it is here to terminate people

It's difficult to correctly terminate staff for cause and not pay them severance, no matter how bad an employee they are. That's the problem.

Would they still be required to isolate or is this jab considered the same as the AZ jabs used in the UK?

Yes, isolation is required. This is because vaccinations received in Thailand are not currently recognised by the UK, regardless of the vaccine you have received.

To not self isolate, you must have been fully vaccinated under one of the following programmes:

"UK vaccination programme, approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products

Regulatory Agency (MHRA)

UK vaccine programme overseas, approved by the MHRA

an approved vaccination programme in Europe or the USA – not all are recognised in England"
