The reason is that it is possible that money needed to put back money spent from my 400,000 baht fund due to emergencies earlier this year might not come in time to top the fund back up the necessary 2 months before my normal application date of 4 weeks before  extension expiry. So the money might arrive late giving 2 months in the bank ending only 1  weeks before the previous extension of stay expires. 

 

Relevant dates could be as late as 25th January 400,000 in my bank with an extension of stay expiring 5th April, the 2 months maturation ending only 12 days before expiry of the previous extension of stay.

I've done mine a day before it expired in the past.

However I normally do it a couple of weeks before as I did in October this year.

Idiocy at it's supreme best.

I've avoided Pattaya for many years because of the 10 day nam fest and remained in by Isaan retreat where the event is celebrated on the 3 actual days of the Songkran festival and in a civilised manner.

Deserves all he got and has coming

Absolutely not!

The worst thing is having to go into places playing those ridiculous Yuletide songs over the PA.

Probably no progress because the transferred Muppet is in league with others in the illegal activity...

Under the table subsidies?

I don't care if it's under or over the table as long as the old girl gets her baht.

It's Chaiyapoon or Chalermprakiat 25

Took her to a pickup truck, obviously so he couldn't get caught in the act the filthy piece of excrement.

I agree. Also, you need to steer clear of "too good to be true" deals and where ever possible choose LazMall or LazPick sellers.

Yes they seem to be the most reliable sellers as presumably they're vetted.

Laws in Thailand are generally not enforced because the police have no incentive to get off their mobiles in the a/c room unless wads of spondoolies are being dished out.

A mis communication and not a mis understanding that's a first.

Or perhaps it was a mis take..

Thailand for the Thais.

Excellent news, the tourism minister Muppet should now be told to stick to his portfolio or be sacked.

Nothing compared to the slap in the face the ordinary citizens get dealt with on a daily basis when having to engage with the BiB...

speechless 

 

what braincell come up with this totally ridiculous idea

 

I don't even understand what they are talking about, are the going to figure out who is driving and test them ?

 

stupid people, that is the job of police which is severely lacking

 

 

A big song and dance about 4am closures - places are alreay open to 4am and have been for months

I my experience they have been open after 4am in some venues for years and years...

Buy my boxers in BigC or Lotus's.

Great value and quality.

The existing regulation isn't enforced nor do the Thai authorities expect foreign residents or Thais to pay tax on overseas non current income streams.That of course may change wef 2024.Let's see.If I am required by law to pay more tax, that's fine.

 

For those who pay tax unnecessarily I can think of several adjectives - public spirited, hopelessly naive etc but 'good' doesn't really come to mind.

 

Those foreigners who have a desperate need to pay tax regardless of whether it is required or not can always write a cheque and send it to the Thai Ministry of Finance.I'm sure it would be welcomed.

I haven't written a cheque in 15 years and I don't know anyone who does these days...

I have no confidence in the current policing set up here let alone will I derive any confidence from a chinese zombie in uniform.

I guess they would have to if your state pension breeches the tax threshold of 12570 GBP.

No idea what other Countries do.

 

However, when I was previously using an accountant, he sent me an all inclusive

 

Earnings Xxxx Tax payable xxxx

 

Which I doubt would be much good in a discussion with RD if you were trying to fight your corner on what income had been taxed and what income had not been taxed.

 

On that note. Could any of the UK expats claiming the State Pension confirm if the DWP also send you an annual P60, bearing in mind that when I get too that age, and claim it, it will also be skelped for UK tax.

The word maintenance is rarely used in the Thai language at any level...

It's common to allow things to breakdown and then bodge a repair of sorts 

Typical Thai bodge with some government minnow spouting off to get his moment in the spotlight without any real strategy and risk assessment taking place.

Unfortunately here the SOP is that nobody takes responsibility because in Thai style it's always someone else's fault.
