I live in Thailand on a retirement extension but occasionally work on projects around SE Asia. My salary is taxed in the country i earned it and then transferred to my Kasikorn account. There is no tax liability in Thailand for money you earned abroad and then transferred here

Beer bars can't open makes no sense at all. 

Also, why can people watch concerts, but not sports events. 

(You can watch concerts but don't sing along!) 

You can hum though

Why don't you contact the airline you normally use?, they will have the information as soon as it's available. Normally on this site they can't even agree what day it is

Got my bill end of April, 2,820 (about average) and it was discounted down to 1,880.

Near enough the same bill and discount end of May. 

The missus contacted the electricity office and they said the discount will continue for 4 months. More beer money

My 90 day report was due at Jomtien on 10th May and i didn't bother. However on 14th May i had some business near the IO so i called in with my passport, one other farang there so i was in and out in 3 minutes. Next report 12th August

I get my pension paid into a my Barclays account in the UK. In the meantime i opened a foreign currency account with Kasikorn, Periodically i transfer pounds from Barclays to Kasikorn and it is held in Kasikorn in pounds so it's up to me when i will exchange for baht, if and when the exchange rate improves,

redwood1, with your logic there's definitely a vacancy in this government for you.

I like a couple of beers with a meal and until i can do that i won't be visiting restaurants again

Alcohol free zone doesn't apply in my house, never will

If they allow a 2 day window for buying booze you can gaurantee it'll be rationed. Have to hit as many shops as i can

Thanks Ubonjoe, much appreciated. I have tried and failed to do it online in the past so that's a big relief

Hi All, this question has been asked before but i haven't seen a clear reply yet, please help.

I live in Thailand on an extension of a non imm O (retirement).

My 90 day report (not renewal) is due on 10th May at Jomtien, am i covered by the amnesty? Simply, do i have to report? yes or no.

Thanks in advance

I have a friend in the UK post meds to me every 3 months, normal wait is 11 - 12 days. I have received 1 package since this pandemic began and it took 25 days. Obviously postage price depends on weight, my packages are 90 day supply of tablets, sent recorded delivery and costs £9.60 each time. In 4 years i've never had 1 go missing

If she's asking for gold she's already planning for life without you, give her the boot

Is this 5 million guarantee per account or per person?

Who cares? I don't. It's god's way of culling the stupid

Oh dear, shock horror

Why should he be charged by a Thai hospital?

He didn't declare he had the virus, the Thais decided he may have and so quarantined him. Hardly his fekn fault

I'm a "relative" newcomer to Thailand. Been coming here for 14 years and retired here 4 years ago.

I use the Jomtien office for my extensions. While i sympathise with anyone being messed about at immigration offices i have to say that the longest time i have spent at the Jomtien office for yearly extension is 35 minutes and the longest for 90 day report is 20 minutes. Long may that continue

Enforce the laws, Can it get any more <deleted>n simple?

What if this catches on with muslims?, halal insects could be a bit of a challenge for the chef.
