  1. Getting pretty fed up of it now, heavy rain for the vast majority of September so far
  2. Not all Thai girls are lazy sponging off their rich foreigners, she liked working there until this happened
  3. My girlfriend works for a PTT owned fuel company (filling cars/motorcycles) in Nong Khai. During the floods the boss asked her to work double shifts to cover for people unable to work, which she did. I/she was shocked to learn that the boss only paid her 300 baht for what was 16 hour shifts. I really feel like complaining but I know in Thailand the owner is a very rich/powerful man and I am afraid that it could effect my visa if I did
  4. You have perfect marriage, don't worry about it, enjoy
  5. They forget when COVID was at its highest the communities relied on expats money
  6. As my girlfriend said we should get the same health care if we pay tax
  7. Want come try it for your self?😅😅
  8. Actually Nong Khai is a little strange (anyone who knows Knong Khai will know) the road closest to the river floods less than the next road up
  9. Actually not every year, I can remember probably about 8 years ago there was hardly any rain in NE Issaan and they very nearly had to issue stand pipes in my city
  10. But not 15 years ago!! Do not panic people
  11. So am I, I have lived full/part time in Loei for 26 years. Everything is bigger in America 🤣🤣🤣
  12. When you say starts in Loei do you mean the province of Loei or the city of Loei because it definitely does not start in the city of Loei, it starts somewhere in the region of Phu Luang which is a number of kilometres south of Loei City
  13. Actually she is half right (you can check if you do not believe me) but Loei River is the only river in Thailand that runs north
  14. Probably but if it does not reach UK tax threshold it may not reach the Thai tax threshold also
  15. I mentioned the tax issue to my girlfriend the other day. Her response was I don't think foreigners will stand for that, she also asked if we will get free healthcare and I said no, she can't believe it
  16. I live in Thailand but domiciled in UK having still own property there
  17. I was told that I could add to existing one but that was a long time ago, things change
  18. Question. I have a QROPS which basically has gone TITS up and I am not drawing a pension from. I have a ISA, can I move money each into this and thus avoid paying Tax because ISA'S are Tax free
  19. It took me 2 years to get my money back
  20. Try Marketplace. That was where I found mine
