    I think you'll find that unless you have a UK address linked to your Bank account. There is no obligation for UK banks to keep your account open. 

     

    Even then I received a letter from my bank, saying they were aware I was living in Thailand and asking for my tax details here in Thailand. If I was not able to provide those details they would have closed my account. 

    I am a non native English speaker. and since this happened to me as well i can share with you the source on which the request is based on.  this request about the tax statement is based on the international agreement that tells where and in which area your world income falls. that areas/country is responsible and allowed to collect the taxes.

     

    Dual residence

    In some cases, two countries could consider you a tax-resident at the same time, and both could require you to pay taxes on your total worldwide income. Fortunately, many countries have double tax agreementsOpen as an external link, which usually provide rules to determine which of the two countries can treat you as a resident.

    If the tax treaty does not provide a solution or if your situation is particularly complicated, contact the tax authoritiesOpen as an external link of one or both countries and ask them to clarify your situation.

     

    Thailand is one of them who has the double tax agreement with many countries.

  2. you hit your jackpot I am happy for you.

    they are all the same around the world,, only the package is different about the rest all is the same.


    just be aware of local customs and laws because local laws have funny unexpected surprises.

    like every were else do make sure she is not married, the Thai law has some funny things in mind when she is.


    with the girl you comes for free included the family, some work out well other not. Beside this it is also some families do see you as the free family TM.


    Anyway keep in mind that the grass looks always greener and more tasty at the other side of the fence.  still is the same

    same old same old, riding a m/cycle in Thailand without having the correct licence and or insurance to do so. she thought she was covered by her credit card.

    most people got an (travel) insurance, in the small print mostly is excluded of coverage extreme sports., intoxicated, alcohol, diving, and motorbikes, some have even more.

    the problem is that also these small prints can change by the premium paid.

     

    never the less is is never wise to drive on two wheels that have engine or motor as main drive or supporting the peddling due to that most insurances exclude this as they seen it an a high risk event to insure.

    I don’t think it’s the baht getting stronger per se.. i think it’s more to do with how the market views the USD going forward.


    Given Chairman Powells’ comments I suspect the market sees the dollar at perhaps topping out as the signal seems to be smaller FOMC upticks of perhaps 50bp and not the much larger 75bps they’ve done.

     

    So, i suspect the THB/USD issue is more to do with movement in the USD than it is the relative strength or weakness of the THB itself 

    Thai bath is also again other currency increasing in strength, which is a problem for a country that is depending on tourist from those areas of the currencies it it getting stronger against.

     

    When Thailand wants to become an importer it does make sense also to reform the total Thai economics and industry to reflect this and after than then Thaial can have a strong currency. now it is loosing more then it things it gains.. 

  5. the only time i have been bitten by dogs was by animals that where on a leash with the owner on the other end. mostly owners who are not people who should have any kind of animal.

     

    most people that I have seen being bitten by animal are those joggers and runners who are running and then run towards an animal. which makes the animal thinks it will be attacked. or running away from the animal which triggers another thing in the animal. 

     

    most animal remember people who treated them badly and they wait for the moment that the animal can doing bad to the people.

     

    animals that are labeled as false are animals that have learned how people are and actually show nothing more than copied human behavior  

     

  6. Covid or not a total forgotten fact is the ongoing war in the Ukraine and that the Russians are preparing to use (tactical) nuclear weapons.

    when they start to use these weapons all around the globe will suffer, get sick and the changes are that the world as we know it will have ended.

     

    The action to stop this is done by something we all have in our power and that is also to make that we have a life after Covid. The action is a buyers boycott by stopping to buy Chinese goods, products and services. There is not direct way to put pressure on Russia to stop. But when the media is correct about this boycott it seems that that this pressure works in the Countries, they are doing this. China is now more and more putting pressure on Russia not to use NBC as well to release all land back to Ukraine.

     

    We also see many countries refuse Russians to enter and tell them to solve the problem in Russia to end the war. Because that also makes an end to go abroad. Tourists are also not allowed to enter and have to stay in Russia to celebrate their vacations as long as there is the War against Ukraine.

     

    As long a Russian are able to leave the country the Russian who are leaving make that the once who are left behind will become more extremer. Become more extremer because they have no other opinion that counters the stories and do things we cannot prevent. When they stay in Russia, they will provide the counter vision as well will make that all gets to an end and stopped.

     

    When Governments do not allow then to come and have to stay in Russia for as long as the War is going on and the territory of Ukraine that has been occupied is returned to Ukraine and under Ukraine control. When the Consumers stop buying until there is peace again and Ukraine has got back all of its territory then we will have an end of this Russian started war soon as well that we hopefully not have to face the Bacterial, Chemical and Nuclear (NBC) problems when these kinds of weapons are used by Russia.

     

    Post war and then have the NBC problems to deal with this. one can better prevent them from happening.

     

    Therefore a Post Covid society will mean nothing when once has to face and solve the problems caused by NBC weapons Russia started used

  7. expansion of the Thai economics is with the exchange rate of USD to 50 THB as in the past that made all grow and Thailand as it is now.

     

    most products are made and used local so that will not have an effect.

     

    and the rest makes just that it is very attractive to do business with Thailand.

     

    therefore the 1 to 50 exchange rate would solve the problems and create growing internal economics.  

  8. when you ask me about this, it is something you see in a lot of western countries that non western foreigner demand things in the West, like you see in the Netherlands as of today with those refugees.

     

    They have no rights at all, they are foreigner with an unknown status and unknown nationality and they demand as if they own the country.

    The television and media also support this.

    Many foreigners are not aware of the local habits and laws and think they can do all they want to do and need to do so.

     

    That make guys like him taken actions like the does.

     

    In steady of running an way and stay in Thailand guys like him they just need to be send back to their home country and do the same over there  about their government.

  9. there are just a few point to address

     

    firstly it is all is about how the law text itself that has been written. does it include or cover the time before it becomes active or not.

     

    secondly also has to be made clear when do you speak about 'prime minister'? Do not forget in the period between the coup and the election after the coupe there was no actually an elected democratic government, and there fore one is not speaking about an elected government based on the rule of democratic election, Just about an administration set in place by the  militarily.

     

    When these two are made clear the on has to make clear which dat is the date of appointment of the Prime Minister.

    Based on all the arguments one could expect that the outcome will be the date should be 10 July, 2019. The date based on when the first democratic elected parliament after the coup democratically elected their Prime Minister.

    Will Thailand get involved...?  Of course not!  When there's been past armed conflicts and (many) wars, Thailand has never picked sides. Have never sent Military to aid any other country during wars.  Can't even admit or commit to the undeniable fact that Putin/Russia is a barbaric aggressor and totally wrong invading Ukraine.  

    You are totally wrong, and partly right because Siam changed it name in to Thailand.

    Siam did pick side in the First World war and did send troops to Germany to fight.

    In 1918, a unit of the Royal Siamese Army marched into Germany to occupy part of the Rhineland - a fact that is largely unknown today. The Siamese Expeditionary Corps, Thailand's WW1 unit that served on the Western Front.

  11. the most important item that is take out of the equation is forgotten.

     

    in Thailand you are always a foreigner and that makes you are depending on a pension from abroad and have not rights you have as a citizen. When you are having a permanent residence all is already more different as well easier for on. Since you are then more seen as a person who stays in the Kingdom. Of course when you have Thai Citizenship it would be more correct to compare. 

     

    In the UK you are a citizenship and will always be allowed to stay, not have problem with the exchange rate too.

     

    Most people who have to return is due that they can not pay the costs or are not able to fulfill the minimum requirements set by the government to the alien. Because that is the hard fact we are people from abroad allowed to stay as long as we comply to the minimal needs.

    Won't happen, the USA does not want China having a look at the state-of-the-art stealthy F-35 cockpit data... Work on a payment instalment plan to help the people during this  "grim economic outlook"

    keep on dreaming, China, Iran, Pakistan and so on they already get this information thru the academic world and the student exchange programs. It seems that it goes far beyond the academic comprehension and logic that students and the graduation projects they participate in just give away complete information.
    Firstly, the western thinking and vision then in addition to that the applied technology and the research that these projects do.

     

    have a look at the industry and you see the result in the design and the looking the nearly same  

  13. Depends on where you live in Thailand and the area you are living., Have seen many child seat in car around the country even in rural areas since 2016. Second hand ones are today easy to buy one even at low affordable prices because many are from the 'first waves' child chairs and the kids using them now are to big for them.

     

     

  14. when you are a teacher and understand your profession you not need to hit any child or parent. there is the respect needed to be able to transfer knowledge and educate.

     

    I have been hit as an eight year old child by a teachers a few times. After the third time i hit back the teacher.  Hit the teacher hard enough and on the 'sweet spot' to fell down and grasp for air a few minutes. This made then teacher aware to never hit a child again.

    Later when I was 15 years another teacher had the same kind of lose hands. being a bit older after the first hit I warned this teacher not touch me again or any one else.  The teacher laugh me out in the face and told he was totally not impressed.. Then started to  his lesson to 'teach me', long story short the teacher ended up in the hospital. 

    and later avoided all touching and contact with students.

     

    when a teacher is a professional the teacher not need to hit or do things like that at all.  In all the years I have trained people and teach all that was needed them just change of posture and the right way of approach makes all stop.

     

    slapping or hitting is totally not needed in a professional student teacher relation. just as it is not needed in other professions.

     

    all is show the person is not qualified for the job, in this case the job to teach.
