  1. Yes and no. If the bill is not paid the meter is removed. Someone has to pay to reinstall the meter, and before that happens the outstanding debt needs to be cleared. If the owner wants to use or lease the premises then who else is left to pay?
  2. Thanks for the recommendation, I've just downloaded it.
  3. What about using an app like Audials Play, which let's you stream radio stations from around the world for free. Your favourite stations from your home country might well be on there.
  4. You can read the article at this archive provider: https://archive.ph/OIviT
  5. A visa is not permission to enter or stay in a country. A visa is permission to present yourself at a port of entry for consideration of admittance. In your case, you would be presenting yourself for consideration of admittance just before your visa expired, but still within the dates allowed to present yourself. On presentation the officer would give you permission to enter and stay in Thailand for 90 days. Permission is granted/confirmed by the entry stamp in your passport, not by your visa.
  6. is there any update from this article posted by KPMG in February 2023, placing Thailand on the grey list? https://kpmg.com/us/en/home/insights/2023/02/tnf-eu-updates-to-list-of-non-cooperative-jurisdictions-four-added-to-black-list-revisions-to-grey-list.html
  7. Acoustic guitars 92.02.900000 Electric guitars 92.07.900000
  8. The general duty rate for both acoustic and electric guitars is 10 per cent of the CIF, and under some circumstances the duty rate is 0 per cent. You then have to pay VAT on top of the CIF and the duty. Used goods are taxable, at a value decided by customs. If the invoice or declaration accompanying the goods is reasonable then customs will accept it. Think about it logically. If all used imports went untaxed then most imported goods would be classed as used and nobody would be paying duty. Clearly, the goods have a value if you are prepared to pay to ship and insure them. Musical instruments such as guitars are oversized to carry onto planes as hand luggage. Professional musicians do hand carry instruments, but they purchase a seat for the instrument. Depending where you are flying from it might be cheaper to fly in with the guitar than ship it.
  9. Yes and no. If you delete the account your apps will stay installed on your phone, but you will not be able to download updates. Updates might be important for your banning security.
  10. Not if the company you have a work permit for has some type of business arrangement/contract with the company you don't work for, and the company you don't work for is receiving an invoice which includes your services and The job title and job description in your work permit lend themselves to such an arrangement. In general the Court won't bother too much about a work permit, unless the work permit is germane to the case.
  11. Members can edit their posts for 30 minutes after submission.
  12. @Social Media Can you add any more please?
  13. Members Choice is a tag, inserted by the News Team when they write the OP. For clarity I will tag this post so others can understand what the discussion is about.
  14. The main impact of this is that he will not have to deal with immigration with regards to getting a Non O/Non B extension for the purpose of working with a Thai business, which is particularly onerous in terms of documentation. Instead he can get a retirement extension, which is one of the easier extensions to get. Lucky for him. I wonder if other provinces will follow suit?
  15. Today in Bangkok the AQI was 34 and green. How would you cope if the AQI was red for days on end, as it often is at other times of the year? What about if the AQI was purple? Poor air quality is an issue.
  16. It's probably Sor Por Gor land. If she does it the correct way and gets a blue house book for the property then she stands an increased chance of getting the property or a portion of the property upgraded to a NS4 chanote title at some (unspecified) point in the future. For modest money It's not a totally wild idea.
  17. Thank you for the suggestion however the gentleman in question can't ride pillion on a motorbike because he has epilepsy.
  18. I believe for him being walking distance to shops and amenities trumps any noise issues. He currently lives in a condo on Sukhumvit in Bangkok, so he must be reasonably noise tolerant.
  19. Walking/baht bus/taxis. He can't safely ride pillion on a motorbike. 1 year lease.
  20. A colleague is looking to rent a condo on/near Beach Road Pattaya. He cannot ride/drive due to epilepsy, so closer is better. He has a budget of 25k per month and would prefer 1 bedroom, 60 plus square meters total space and a sea view (if at all possible). Does anyone have any good suggestions? Not knowing the area, is there a preferred part of Beach Road? On one hand he would like easy access to malls, but on the other he wants to be able to sleep at night...
