I was told the problem with paradontax is that the fluoride in it destroys tooth enamel causing yellowing.
A UK dentist advised sensodyne pronamel but I havnt seen it here’s so I use sensodyne multi use.
to fix periodontal gum disease brush teeth well 2 to 3 times each day and rinse with salt water to help healing.
Dont allow food particles to remain trapped after eating, rinse or a quick brush.

It’s my understanding that tax relief is applied to pensions at the time you put it into the pot.
Normal tax rules apply to payments made to you from the pot, ie you can use your annual tax free allowance to offset tax upto the allowance rate.
I haven’t read this anywhere (but I have studied the tax rules for non UK residents) and logically if you think about it, the pension funds were invested and tax relief was applied whilst you were working in the UK, therefore taking lump sum drawdowns before the agreed age would be taxed in the same way regardless of where you reside, why would if differ because you were a UK resident when the initial tax relief was already applied.
To achieve what you described you could have invested in Isas and offshore pension but then of course no tax relief would have been applied at source.
if you could do what you are asking then why would offshore pensions exist?
You can’t get tax relief when you both invest and then more tax relief when you draw down unless it’s within the personal annual allowance limit.
sorry it’s not the news you probably wanted and id would be happy to be proven wrong.

wow tipped over the edge because an overstayer is caught lol
Nargh, we’ve been planning it for about a year already. It’s just the fact anti foreigner rhetoric is in the news almost every day for the past 5 years and that detention and imprisonments and deportation could happen to anyone for any number of minor infractions so it seems. You are welcome to it.
Maybe it’s just time for a change for us. Either way whatever you say won’t affect our decision as it was made a long time ago.

Yeh I'm out of here as soon as I get my daughter's docs finished and sole custody.
It's been a real (and expensive) pain to do but I'm not far off now.
Should be done by early next year and then offfffffffffffffffffffff
Same here, a bit of rearranging to accommodate visa requirements and we are out of here next year. My Thai wife is looking forward to getting out of Thailand too!

And In other countries they wouldn’t publicise it as if they had just arrested a mafia king pin. This news is pathetic nationalistic scaremongering.

Seriously if carrier pigeons are not available a cheap way for large heavy items used to be logipost or logicpost I can’t remember the spelling exactly but something like that. The Thai post office arrange it for you and its really cheap. I think it was 1200 baht to ship a motorbike. We sent a couple motorcycles and old sofas up to isaan a few times over the years. I call it the black hole where all things end up.

Lazada repay the money on returns. ????
Read the thread, they haven't refunded many people including myself.

That non-Thai citizens cannot get refunds on their own Lazada account. ????
Westerners that are Thai citizens can. ????
The point of the thread has everything to do with Thai citizenship. ????
I disagree. The point is if a company takes your money and the product is returned for whatever reason the money should be repaid regardless of what country you are from.
Citizenship should have nothing to do with it.

Worth it.
Funilly enough after paying taxes in Thailand for many years I would meet the criteria to apply however you miss the point of the thread completely.

I went travelling around Asia for a while to see the world and Thailand was a base as I knew a couple people who had already moved here.
I fell in love with the laid back lifestyle, the culture, the ease of getting by, the diversity and proximity between the tropical islands, the city and the mountains.
But most of all the Thai people’s attitude to westerners and of course most of all I eventually fell in love with and married my wife.
I still love thailand but it is changing and it has some problems to fix before it can be free again.

Dogs have no problem being vegan.
What utter tosh!!!
Dogs are carnivores, their teeth were evolved to tear flesh and not to eat grass.
Like I say, to force a dog to become a vegetarian is cruelty, especially as the only reason for a dog to become a forced vegan/vegetarian is for its owner's selfish reasons.
my dog prefers raw vegetables and doesn't eat meat out of choice if you stuck it under his nose - you can surely explain this then since you seem to claim to know it all..?

From how he interacted with humans as well as his breed, he was stolen from an owner who loved him. Probably a Western woman based on his response to me.
They aren't just taking soi dogs...in fact thete are virtually none of those in Phnom Penh. They are stealing people's pets.
Sorry you lost your friend Sheryl although at 22 years old wow that’s good going I’m sure that you gave that little one a grand innings!
we have small dogs too and they become part of the family don’t they just, especially after so many years you see each dog has their own individual personality.
its a very sad to read article for anyone who has ever had a dog as a friend I’m sure. All dogs are certainly more compassionate and offer better companionship than some of the other posters on this thread.

Aside from using Transferwise to send lower cost money transfers, another tip is to bring 50 pound notes over 20 pound notes if at all possible as you get a slightly better rate. Also the Super Rich booths do not accept any notes less than good condition including any with pen writing on them.
