...a British man whose passport had been retained by a local gym
Who does an ordinary British passport belong to? Her Majesty's Government or the individual named in the passport?

PG Tips. Normally 199 baht for 40 from Villa, but a friend found them for me for 95 baht, which is very reasonable considering they are 62 baht (£1.40) in the UK.

The same happened to me a couple of months ago. I was charged two times for just over 100 USD each.
I disputed the charges. I was issued a new card.
When my statement arrived I paid the amount owed including the fraudulent charges.
After a few weeks the amounts were refunded to my card in full.
It's not the best solution, but I suffered it considering the benefits I get from the card.
My card is issued by SCB. On the SCB app they have a button to disable your card if you are not using it. When you want to use it again you can go into the app and unlock it ready for use.

Seller said they would not be moving till the end of the month.
Repeat what you have stated. Tell them they have X hours to remove their property, then you are changing the locks.
Alternatively, if they want a lease for 2 weeks, the cost is Y.
Do not change the locks yourself. Do not move any of their stuff yourself. Do not do anything yourself. Manual work is for Thai citizens only.
If the property is a condo pay the juristic manager for new access cards and have them revoke the old cards.
Be polite but firm. When they realise that they will forfeit any goods and chattels that are left within the curtilage of the property they will soon get a move on.
If they leave anything behind make sure you keep one item as it will make a great story over dinner.

I want to put a cement board fence on galvanized posts to about 2.3 mtrs height to give my property some privacy .
2.3 meters high should be no problem at all, especially if your neighbours constructions are at a similar or greater height.

You cannot be forced by a private company.

Yes. The company does not need to have a reason to terminate your employment.
You have to do what is best for you, and the company has to do what is best for it.
On 5/14/2021 at 2:02 PM, thcosh said:and then is it possible to sue the company for free ? How to proceed ?
You would contact the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare who would see that you receive the lawful severance and pay in lieu of notice that is due to you.

There is no import duty payable in Thailand for any vaccine for human medicine, including all covid vaccines.

With contactless payments, there is no need to touch the customer's card at all.

Did the transfer show the name of a recipient?
We have transferred money to the wrong account number before, but the account number did not exist.
The money was automatically reversed and it appeared back in it account a few days later.

Is that on top of the 14% charged by the GPO according to the article, or is the 7% VAT part of the GPO's 14%?
And will the hospitals have to charge 7% VAT to the patients?
Not that any of that's a massive deal... As long as they allow private vaccinations to progress.
I don't know how they are going to do it. I suspect every addition will be cumulative.
My understanding is that private hospitals will have to charge VAT on the vaccine component of an invoice. Medical services themselves, such as charges for the doctor's or nurse's time are not liable for VAT.

Thailand charges no import duty on any type of vaccine for human medicine. That can clearly be seen from the Integrated Tariff Database. The HS code for covid vaccines is 3002.20.90
That leaves VAT. The Revenue Department has previously granted a VAT exemption for covid imports, but only if they are being donated to the public for free (so the government importing vaccines and distributing them for no charge).
Private hospitals don't work for free, so VAT would be charged. That's not great, but at 7 per cent I don't think it's that massive a deal.

So even if he goes to the police they will not be able to do anything since it is a civil matter?
Correct.
2 hours ago, Questionable said:Wouldnt the tenant get in trouble with the police?
No, because it is a civil matter.
It will only go wrong for the ex tenant if the landlord has money and feels they have lost face. If the landlord takes the ex tenant to civil Court the Court can order that the defendant is blocked from leaving the country, and immigration will enforce this.
If the landlord refuses to settle it will take quite a long time and your friend will be stuck here, making Court appearances and paying for their own solicitor until things are resolved. If your friend does not have a work permit then the chances are they will not get one so they will have to fund their stay here themself.
This is unlikely to happen, but it could happen nonetheless. Personally I would just pay the bill for the electricity used and avoid a lot of potential problems.

near anything can be categorized in different ways... so, whatever the individual agent sees is the duty you will pay...
It is very difficult to classify a piano as anything other than a piano, and the Thai integrated tariff database has a section for pianos: HS92.01
The section is divided into 9201.10.00 upright pianos, 9201.20.00 grand pianos and 92.01.90.00 for items such as harpsichords. The only discussion after this is the rate of duty, which is calculated based on the country of origin.
For example, there is no duty to be paid on a piano imported from ASEAN, but 10 per cent duty on imports from some other countries.
It pays you to be aware of the HS code of the item you are importing and the correct rate of duty payable.
My own experience has been that Thai customs have always correctly assessed the goods I have imported, however I think part of that is the customs agent is aware that I know the exact HS code and tariff for every item in the consignment.
It pays to do your homework and help yourself, because a wrong assessment can cost you dearly if you do not spot it.
