  1. Someone might get demoted, CHINA is not listed. I don't know what benefit they will get out of taxing Bhutan expats.
  2. It probably does not make any sense to you, because your reading skills are way behind the amount of nonsensical verbiage you have proved you can produce at the drop of a hat. Have you managed to seduce one of your super-intelligent 30 yo Japanese women yet?
  3. One occasionally reads of Thais dying of the cold up in the mountain villages, either from exposure while drunk, or not having enough blankets to keep warm. Before you say it, I have no links for that, and no interest in finding them for you.
  4. Help, I am being flogged with wet lettuce leaves. Posts without a fair dose of senility are not your genre either.
  5. The Thais can't tax what doesn't get transferred in. Good thinking 99.
  6. You must be joking. Wait times at public hospitals are 5-6 hours, and the strongest pain medication available is Tramadol. The average income in my GF's village is 2500 baht/month, people who can't work get a pension of 600 baht/month once they hit 60. 800 baht/month if they make it to 80. I suppose there is plenty of food if one likes living on a diet of bananas, windfall rice, and frogs out of the domestic septic tank.
  7. You may be right. The prospect of Thai Immigration co-operating with the tax authorities to determine which pensioners are here for more than 180 days is not one that fills me with dread.
  8. I am wondering how the Thai authorities could possibly tax a pension paid into an account in the expat's country of origin. They have no information on where and how much it is. The other country would be unable to disclose said information without breaching data privacy laws. I suspect this is a brain fart, which will be dumped as soon as it is realized the cost of pursuing payment far exceeds any returns.
  9. I was seeking quality insults. Yours gets the guernsey as the most lame. Or perhaps it should be a kimono.
  10. Totally agree.
  11. I am well aware of that, and it does make me wonder how they got to be rich. Royalty is easy, going by the other shenanigans they get up to.
  12. I got back from 6 months in Australia in September, I could feel myself relaxing as I flew into Bangkok. In Oz, I was reduced to wearing three layers of clothing, and watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory.
  13. IMO having a visible tattoo pigeonholes the wearer in a certain socio-economic class. It's the first thing police look at in any situation, as a classifier.
  14. I just wonder how on earth 1-2 pack a day smokers get on when it's a 400 API day. I button up the condo, and crank up two air purifiers.
  15. As you are not an owner, you have no rights in this matter, unless it is written into your lease you have unrestricted pool access. IMO it's probably the juristic person taking a bribe to close the pool. Some are as crooked as a dog's hind leg. I really can't see a committee doing this, it's unlikely they would benefit financially. The email you got - was it signed off by a committee member, or the juristic person?
  16. I notice we are back to being unable to delete notifications, hope that is fixed soon.
  17. I was thinking now I may never know how BMT is progressing with his injuries and the legal situation, after the hit and run. I did take a look at the TD forum, which seemed to be mainly concerned with celebrating ASEAN's demise.
  18. Boasting about a lack of education seems to be the new normal.
  19. He won't give it a rest, I sometimes think this is his only shot at self-validation. Posting the same stuff 100 or 470 times is obsessive. Correct, I don't care either.
  20. Unlikely.
  21. I prefer the expression " you wouldn't know if I was up you, unless I coughed". '
  22. How many age pensioners living outside Australia have their pension transferred into an Australian account, then send accumulated lump sums overseas when it suits them? it's what I have always done. it may or may not add to residency status, but it gives the ATO and Centrelink a bit more detail to unravel.
  23. No. The only woman I have had unprotected sex with in Thailand is my long-term girl-friend. I have always been horny enough to enjoy sex with a condom on, and IME they help me last longer. Being able to take the plunge without fear of consequences was a factor as well.
  24. I didn't want to exaggerate.
  25. Your irrelevance must be very frustrating for you.
