Thailand tackles high airfares for Songkran festival
PomPolo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's the same every year, demand increases price in almost every sector, book the flights sooner is the solution. -
Thai MP Denies Loan Shark Allegations Amid Scandal
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Never mind the loan shark stuff he needs to sort his jacket and those shoulder pads out before he starts lending his cash. -
Russian tourist attacked in Pattaya over livestream mix-up
PomPolo replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
She'd have to beat up every bar owner in Pattaya if she didn't want to get filmed on CCTV without her consent. Looks like she got filmed anyways without her consent beating the cr4p out of someone that wasn't filming her without her consent, I do love life's ironies! No sympathy for these you tubers though that walk around live streaming to try and get subscribers and money to stay in the LOS, go home, save up and come back! -
In 2012, *** heir to the*** fortune, was involved in a fatal hit-and-run in Bangkok that resulted in the death of a police officer. After fleeing Thailand in 2017, *** has remained a fugitive. In August 2024, Thai prosecutors indicted former national police chief *** and seven others for allegedly conspiring to alter the recorded speed of **'s Ferrari to help him evade prosecution. The only remaining charge against ***, reckless driving causing death, is valid until 2027. Charged in Absentia I guess you would call it but Ironic that only other cops have been physically indicted, in any case 2 years to go and *** is home free, he'll be wanting to get back for the Formula 1 when it comes to Thailand!

Transfer money from Thai bank to UK bank
PomPolo replied to Negita43's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I think DeeMoney has shutdown now, not working on my mobile anymore I sent support an email and they just replied they couldn't give a date when it would be available again, but yes they weren't the cheapest to send money internationally. Not sure carrying a large amount of currency is advisable I think anymore than 10k dollars US or 10k pounds UK and you will be scrutinised like an international money launderer! SWIFT bank transfer like you said BK bank to US is the way forward, slight pain heading into the branch and stuff (which you would have to do to get currency in any case) but worth it if it is a large amount of money and the cheapest option. -
Woman Shares Debt Drama as Friend Lives Lavishly Without Repayment
PomPolo replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Have seen so many good friends fall out over small 'loans' its never worth it, even if you can afford to, I have given close friends money before but I pretty much write it off as soon as it is handed over and ensure it is nothing that will impact me should I not get it back. -
Woman Shares Debt Drama as Friend Lives Lavishly Without Repayment
PomPolo replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
Not a legal leg to stand on in any country not just Thailand it was a gift, I guess the only comfort will be she will have learned not to do it again. -
Yep, sounds like he is more of a resident here than India probably spends more than 180 days in a year here (tax topic related) That will probably be sorted out as you mentioned by money changing hands and I am guessing it will also be a life changing amount of money for the widow however sad the incident is, but also sadly that is often how incidents like this are resolved, the rich people never learn and the poor people go to jail.

Just what is life like in Rural Thailand- ever wondered ?
PomPolo replied to CharlieH's topic in General Topics
Hahahaha yeah and it's a good job he's not letting anyone know he is working on his youtube channel with 200k subscribers. I was scared to harvest a single bunch of rice in my girlfriends field last year just in case the immigration plod were hiding in the bushes! -
I used KBank yesterday to pay for an order unless there is a specific issue with SCB not sure.

Do you work for the revenue department or a tax advisor looking for business? ð I can buy a house and own it where at? I could buy a house but I would have to build it floating in the air as I couldn't own the land it was built on.

Solving the Transit Scam: Protecting Foreigners in Thailand
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Had to laugh at this one I lived in the Philippines during COVID and they had checkpoints everywhere manned by police with M16's. Was going through a checkpoint one day and got stopped we had to get shopping as we were allowed to do, and I asked the policeman if M16's were a cure for COVID, he didn't take it too well, still managed to get the shopping though. -
Solving the Transit Scam: Protecting Foreigners in Thailand
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Shouldn't they have been doing all of this already? -
I have made my thoughts clear on this in many other forums. In the UK the majority of the tax money spent goes to welfare the next highest amount goes to the NHS closely followed by others such as pensions, defence etc I would be happy to pay tax here should I become eligible for social security, income support, pensions or free health care. Can't see that happening, I can't even buy a house here! And I haven't been called a 'grown up' for a while ð

I thought about going and its the thought that counts maybe next decade just in case there is a rush ðĪŠ

Just read that article amazing. It's sometimes difficult to tell who is being a Walter Mitty, trying to re-invent themselves, on the run or just an outright BS'r, this guy definitely had something to hide not sure eluding to be a spook would take the attention away from him that he wanted, 40 years on the run though it's a beauty, bet he's kicking himself for chopping someone up and keeping them in the freezer ð

He should have just told the truth in the first place would have been far more interesting ð

PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Possibly but it might have bars on it! -
Hugely depends on which hospital you go to on medication prices and treatment, I won't mention any names for obvious reasons but a little bit of research should be easy to find
