Strange that the pc tossers for some reason decided they didn't like golliwog dolls yet they still liked those massive black dildos you see advertised everywhere. Makes you wonder what really make those sort of people tick doesn't it ?

and the black and white minstrel show on tv

28 in Pattaya?

Linked to what? 

Worker Camps? Markets? Entertainment venues? 

Temples or Churches? 

Are these walk in testers or targeted communities? 

I for 1 would like to know!

Thai Friendly dating app is the fly in the ointment , the unknown factor, contact tracing would be very difficult.

just my opinion though.

And when you put the coats of whatever your using on the timber door, remember to remove the door and coat the top and bottom edges as well as the rest.many people have a really good door warp because the under or bottom edge was left bare timber,

Made two cocktails for them in the morning... The ones on my patio definitely are not attracted to it at all, seen none nearby the glasses, still buzzing into my ears so not gone away either, though it seems numbers are down after the rains and cooler day 

 

Will try the papers later, but wonder if they need a specific brand of soap or some higher grade vinegar to get attracted by the cocktail? I just put cheap one I've got from makro. 

just have a small fan out there, opiented to your face , no flies at all will bother you.

Of course it makes a difference. I guess your from the UK and take it personally. Its just a name UK strain does not mean it comes directly from the UK. They think it came over the land borders from an other country. 

 

It matters a lot as that strain is far more contagious. 

yes , think India

News just came out that Pfizer didnt need the cold storage as previously known. Approval was pending and a game changer for distribution to facilities lacking super cold storage

but still need good temp control, within the crate, not exactly possible in an attache case.

however it does seem that embassies can get this delivered, as they are their own territory.

Good news to see the trend going down, and the fatality rate still low.  Makes you wonder why they still felt the need to close open-air public parks and swimming pools! 

they should also close TF and ban ed drugs and ..........erm.......close legs

There's a time when my country of origin had kept my license because they thought I had a glass of wine too many. 

 

But when I came back, I just used the Thai license ( totally legal) and i didn't even ask to get my License back.

 

   So, it's useful, without giving anybody here an illegal tip. 

    

in the case of a prang , I'm not sure how the insurance would sort that one out 55

I don't know if this is off topic...

 

I have a UK, ex-pat, retired friend who lives in Thailand off his UK pension. The pension is paid into a UK bank account and then the funds are transferred to a Thai bank account.

 

I don't have exact numbers at the moment, but I think he is taxed 30% at source and I think he is paying too much tax versus what hew would pay if he was resident in the UK. Also, the way he converts GBP to THB is via his bank so he is probably getting hammered to the tune of 5% versus Wise or Currencyfair, etc.

 

I want to hook him up with an accountant, but I don't know if it is best to find an accountant in the UK or an accountant in Thailand.

 

Does anyone have a similar situation?

 

Do you have any tips to share?

are you talking about the UK government pension ? He wouldn't be paying any tax , so a private pension taxed at source is losing him a lot of money as he has to reach the allowance before tax , He can do this himself easily, all the info is online as are the forms   all on the uk gov website, no accountant needed.
