If I  leave Thailand before 180 days in one year for a week or two, does the ‘clock’ reset to zero when I return  ?

 Jumboy is not Pattaya savy, hence his  "ignorancia nonexcuseeee"! 

Lived in Pattaya for over 10 years but never frequent that area, nothing of interest there for me.

Hold on a minute. Aren't you supposed to be on a horse?

On a horse ??

Confiscate the bikes wether rented or owned, rental companies will soon stop renting bikes out if they lose a few.

You don't actually pay income tax on your state pension, if it is below the £12570 personal allowance 

 

But if you have another pension,( defined as income by HMRC) you will pay tax on that.

 

Example purely for illustration purposes and simplicity:

 Person A receives,say £ 11570 uk state pension.

And also receives another pension, be it govt or private of say £18000 per annum.

 

The UK state pension of £11570 is deducted from the personal allowance of £12570, leaving therefore £1000 still under the personal allowance.

 

This £ 1000 is then deducted from the other pension of £18000, leaving £17000 taxable income at 20%.

 

So, in effect you don't pay tax on UK state pension per se, using the above illustration.

If you didn’t opt out of SERPS there is a chance you will be over tax threshold, I opted out but opted back in. My State Pension is over the tax threshold therefore I pay tax on it.

I pay tax on my private pension of around £50 a month, I got ts relief on PP contributions but the government are now taking it back from me, it have said tax deferred not tax relief.

Fella said U.K. State Pension is tax free, it’s not its part of your income and with  the recent it increases some people are actually paying income tax on it.

No, he doesn’t own anything and never has. He’s just a YouTuber. I knew him when he was fronting the Assienda. He doesn’t even claim to own anything 

Leads a helluva life style considering he only has 35k followers on YouTube, think you are trolling.

Nick Dean neither owns nor manages any of “his” bars.

They all belong to Flowers 

I don’t think so, NDTVI Group own the bars not unless they have been sold to Flowers, GpDean also has a guest house opposite the bars, he apparently leads a very good lifestyle eating out every day owns a condo in the Edge which he spoke about renting out and buying a house.

He last idea was stick signs on baht buses advertising the 3 bars on Soi 7, no idea how bust the bars get as I don’t frequent the area.

I book direct with airlines for long haul, I have been stung too many times using agents, there is a theory if you use a VPN you get better deals if you change your location, never worked for me no matter what location I used.

Can not see the point to this !!!! going around in circles !! dissolved, new name, dissolved .new name, what is the point ?? this is not how you run a country ? Thais must realize the world is watching this farce, just showing what a bunch  of muppets they are  

It will go round in circles as long as the money men and military want to keep the Thai people under the thumb, maybe in 10 years when all of them have passed away things may change.

You are going to the wrong airport, BA are departing from Gatwick, not Heathrow like before.

In that case, it's hard to justify the 22,000 baht charge. That's more than the fee most agents charge for covering the financial requirements.

Agents in Pattaya charge around 8000 baht if you have the 800000 in the bank.

Who appoints the members on the Constitutional Court and do the members ever change ?

I can never understand why no airline operators fly direct from Manchester, not everyone who comes to Thailand lives down south.

What good is a sign? In Thailand?

Not a watcher of Thai TV but do the government ever do adverts about road safety ?

You can put as many signs Road markings down as you like but people ignore them, what purpose do the red and white markings serve, no one would stop for you, they have them outside my sons school along with warning signs flashing lights etc but all are ignored.

With the bans won’t there have to elections to replace the MPs who have been banned  ?

Have a stroll along Soi Bukhao during the day plenty of expats sitting in bars on their own.

Advertise for a meet and greet expats bar crawl on Soi6?

Buzzin Bar Soi Pothole used to do bar crawls.

A lot of the YouTubers are basically beggars online where there are certain videos you can only watch if you pay a subscription.

One which is very popular non subscription although they have a members section is the bar on Soi 7 on a Sunday at 5pm where 6 vey skimpily dressed bar girls sit on what they call the casting couch bumming drinks of the viewers and they end up p*****, hardly entertaining.
