It was my thought too as I’ve been around long enough to know it can happen but thaiwrath is a well known organization and the amount of media and photos of this story make it seem legit to me and I think it’s worth the risk to help the girl stand strong. I’m sure AseanNow did some due diligence too as they are promoting the crowdfund. Happy donating ????

I’m sending 5k too, kids can be cruel with bullying but so can some adults too. Hope she stands strong. Hiv is ‘just another’ virus these days with the meds that stop it harming the body and prevent it being passed on or replicated although the stigma from history still prevails unfortunately. Hopefully education and time can change this.

“Of course, if you are retired you probably do not pay tax.” pension income is taxed just like any other income. -

Thailand in the rules-based International Order

lets hope China or Russia don't take the reigns, at that point we really would be screwed. -
I didn't make any money on the property, I probably broke even compared to renting. Meanwhile investing in property in other countries has seen good returns. I wouldn't put others off owning its just where I am personally renting would be my preferred choice going forward most likely. My 'too little too late' comment referred to the government offering schemes to foreigners to invest, whereas for me I wasn't allowed to buy in my name only my wife's name and its too late as she/we already sold. If I were able to obtain mortgages in my name (even after paying taxes in Thailand long term this wasn't an option for me as I didn't own the property), then we might have held onto it longer, maybe. It wasn't even affordability, it was the fact I had limited options (and my wife had fewer financial options than I would be expected to have) In addition to this, the point is foreigners have their hands tied when there is no need for this other than to disadvantage foreigners who have setup a life in Thailand. Does this help? ????

too little too late.. We just sold our home in Thailand (was in wife's name) and we're out. I would only ever rent in future.

Send Money To UK from Thailand
NightSky replied to NightSky's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I looked at Dee Money although it seems cost effective for smaller amounts. Bank transfer worked out cheaper for larger amounts. -
Its been a while since I needed to do this and my wife now needs to send just overt 1 million baht to the UK. She has Thai baht in a kasikorn account. She asked at the branch and they informed her she needs to give them one days notice in advance about what she intends to do..? Has anyone had any issues transferring Baht from Kasikorn or other bank to UK recently? Also I'm guessing it will be better to do the exchange at the Thai bank rather than the UK bank, is this generally the case?
