Thai Workers Are A Joke

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part I
Exactly, if they tried it thousands of expats would be on the next plane out, with their 800k.

Thailand reviews taxes and launches digital wallet to tackle income disparity
Most countries have a minimum earnings where no tax is payable. I think that's fair. Not worth the effort to collect tax from someone earning a low wage. They pay the 7% VAT on their spending.

Shoei fitment
I wouldn't risk buying a helmet on line based on their sizing information. If it anything like clothes the sizes they quote on line are useless to fit a farang.

Tabien baan : Yellow or blue Thai house book for a condo foreign owner ?
I have wanted my long term resident tgf to be registered in my condo blue book but Pattaya City Hall have said they can not do unless her existing house master signs off the transfer. Which he is always too "busy" to do.

Scrap my scooter where ?
Would you need to transfer the ownership as well, to the person you give it to? Otherwise you might get a visit from the boys in brown if it is used for any illegal purposes.

Agents commissions
5% is what they quote to "sell" my condo. Massive rip off. All they do is take a few pictures and put it on the web. I can do that myself for nothing. In the UK it used to be 1-2% and they produced glossy brochures of the property to hand out to potential buyers.

American man faces dilemma as Thai girlfriend’s parents demand 1 million baht dowry
Not a dilemma, tell them to get lost. She is not a slave to be "sold".

The state of your average expat in Thailand.
Most of the farangs in my condo seem OK normal guys. But if you live in Nirun then sure they will be 99% losers.

It isn't the end of the world, if you have to move to a nearby country in SEA. See the positive things!
Exactly. I could meet increased financials but for those of us over 70 a health insurance requirement is tantamount to saying goodbye Thailand.

Well if they kick me out of Thailand i don't have much choice. I wouldn't go back to the UK unless i was really sick.

If the new retirements conditions are too onerous i am definitely off to Cambodia. No 800k, no insurance, $300 a year visa, cheap living. I would like Vietnam but ASAIK there is no retirement visa option there.

Kitchen sink, s-trap, air admittance valve?
When i had the kitchen fitted in my condo (by a "professional" kitchen company) it had no S bend pipe. Just drains straight to the floor. I would have thought one was required but maybe not !!

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Are people fooled into buying a "Volvo" when it's just another piece of Chinese crap trying to pretend it's a proper car, like MG.

Hop on hop off bus
Look on Youtube, Mr Egg (Le Pub) does a very good video on the bus. He was the only passenger, maybe because of the 800 baht !!
