I have used HP laptops for the last 12 years. My old 7 year old one is just so beat up I picked up a new one over the weekend. HP online have a good new years sale on with additional discounts as well. 9,000-70,000 baht. I like them as Windows genuine is included in the purchase price. Just got one I was looking at for 22,999 in December, got it for 14,999 so the sale is real. One day delivery by DHL and you can pay on delivery. 

Good deal, did you buy direct from the HP online ?.

That should not have been necessary.

Were your extensions (retirement) done using an agent?

Yip, Pattaya agent... Immigration ( Pathum Thani )spoke to the wife saying that the retirement NON O needs to be cancelled out and start from scratch.

I need start a post on here at the time, I'm guessing about 5 years ago.

When I changed over to marriage NON O 5 few years ago I had to leave Thailand to cancel out my retirement NON O, then enter on a 30 days waver and start the marriage O application from start.

I’ve visited a couple time and really enjoyed it.  My biggest complaint was there were only two bars.

It sounds as though you transfer savings and sale proceeds that were all accumulated prior to 1 January 2024, in which case, there is no tax to pay in Thailand on those transfers.

Mike, I'm guessing I still need to file a tax return next January - March 2025 even if I'm paid 0% tax on my transfers.

I'm from the UK, age 57 I been living in Thailand for 6 years I'm also married to a Thai.

My question is I do a monthly transfer from my UK bank account into my Thai bank of 25,000฿.

The money I transfer from the UK is saving that I accumulated over my lifetime and sale of my house in UK ( which I made no capital gains on the sale ).

Would i need to pay tax on my 25,000฿ ( annually 300,000฿ ) and if so how much please ?🙏

Sorry, have you tried this yourself?

Yes, before I got married.

You can download a least document contract on-line.

Just fill the form in yours, get you landlord to sign. Once the extension been granted bin the contract

These all look like they're in Pattaya.  What's available in Sukumvit ?  or Silom?

Booking is advance, nice seating outside under the trees

Get yourself to the auction, take someone who knows a little bit about bikes and can speak Thai.

Great report, I been thinking about getting a CT until I went to the motor show in Bangkok yesterday and seen the new Yamaha PG1 for 64900฿.

New on the market so no reviews as yet.

I thought many banks required proof of address based on KYC requirements.

I been banking with the same banks for over 20 years.

No proof needed, just updated my address on-line.

Does the bank check the address?

Not as far as I know.

I just login online and changed my address to the ukpost company.

I have a few Bank account all with different banks, no problems as yet.

Is it possible to buy UK premium bonds using a Thai address (I'm from the UK, but living in Thailand)?
