He hit the sign... how blind is that?

blind drunk..... 2.00 am, at which time in Pattaya almost certainly returning from the bar. Went clean through the road sign so he can't say he didn't see it! Lucky he didn't end up in hospital having a length of rebar removed from his <deleted>.

Is it open 24/7?

Just how would the Vietnamese know about your worldwide income? 

This is pretty simple. Many foreign banks send reports to the tax authorities where you reside - if you want it or not. They even sent them to my home country where I was born. And I didn't live there for decades. They asked me where I pay my taxes. My adress abroad they got from my mother. They called her. But I did not do anything wrong and so in the end there were no problems. 

I can't see the UK taxman flying all the way to Vietnam just to persecute us. They are interested in those who make large transactions and money laundering, not small guys like most of us here on TV.

Yet my question about Vietnamese bank interference and taxation has not been answered.... Anyone?

For example; in Bali I hear the taxman can deduct tax from any incoming funds into a Balinese bank account. Do Vietnamese banks have a similar reporting system?

you have to pay taxes on your worldwide income.

Just how would the Vietnamese know about your worldwide income? Are you taxed on everything you transfer into a Viet Bank?

Whilst on the subject, can one transfer funds out of Vietnam?

What restrictions are there of foreigners holding bank accounts?

Not enough being done to stop graft.... Has he looked in his mirror lately?

my neighbour a lovely girl of 1 m88 with a deep voice and who never wear bra or underwear , told me doctor sen is the best for boobs toot lips and sex change , for 25000 € your a new girl, and i agree as she does not wear underwear once she gave me a quick view of a lovely slit

I'm 1 m 88 with a deep voice. Should I be worried?

Bumrungrad.... open wallet surgery. What can one expect of a hospital that is listed on the stock exchange?

And now we read that Govt hospitals will be charging Farang double. (Sigh). Race discrimination at hospitals ought to be illegal.

I have received good medical care at Ramathibodi, but more often Thai doctors lack sufficient knowledge. It is crucial to find the 'one' who knows what he is doing!

I doubt Boris ever intended to allow the UK to crash out without a deal. It was all a bluff to try to force a better deal from the EU. The Queen just took away her PM's leverage, so what kind of deal will the UK now get?

There are Russians in Pattaya selling cars that don't belong to them. Check ownership in registration document is genuine. Also check for any outstanding finance. Offered under normal price is often a sign of trouble.

I've seen the classic car wrecks in Australia with both Thai wives and Philippino wives. Invariably it involved a much older man with a much younger, non working, attractive wife. Recipe for disaster. Older bloke loses wife, house, half of his superannuation and can look forward to child support of 27% of his gross (pre tax but paid out of his after tax take home salary) income (assuming 2 kids) which is basically 60% minimum of all income after tax until child turns 18, or possibly 25 if they go to Uni. These guys live in absolute despair. Usually cannot afford to buy another house, so rents which takes a fair chunk of their left over salary. The likelihood of meeting another partner diminishes dramatically. No money, no honey is true everywhere. Wife lives on easy street with new partner.

Women are like cars... When her bodywork starts to go and she needs expensive 'servicing' you trade her in for a new model.

She is Thai and from her writing and thinking she is very young. 

Thais never grow up

I fail to see the point of the "paid" sticker, especially when you have just been given a till receipt? Am I missing some Thai logic here?

As for the chicken, it's ok so long as you have a work permit to cook it.

With a job lined up I can't understand why you did not use this to get the appropriate visa. However, I think Immigration should have shown reasonable discretion to someone who has a Thai daughter here. Unfortunately you got the lesbian, they tend to be bitchy by nature, especially if you are male.

Things have gone down hill for Farang here. Sad state of affairs, what can we do about it? It is getting all of us down and instead of sticking together I note that many threads end in bickering.

You say your wife is Korean so have you any plans to return to Thailand? If you are never coming back to Thailand what's stopping you heading for the airport?

This the English of the song thai people sing 8am and 6 pm.

 

Thailand unites the flesh and blood of Thais.
The land of Thailand belongs to the Thais.
Long has been our independence, wish sovereignty allowed to maintain it,
Because Thais have been united forever.
The Thais are peaceful and loving, but are not cowards in war.
Our sovereignty will never be threatened,
We will sacrifice every drop of our blood for our nation.
We are ready to die for freedom, security, and prosperity!

 

 

We happy and friendly and welcome to foreigner, but if you want to change/fight us, you will lose, sure. 

Our country, our rules. If you not want to fill out a Tm 30, then you must leave. Up to you.

It appears you have not noticed, the Chinese own and run Thailand. So much for your national pride.

As for your remarks on us foreigners; how long will it be before the Thai government come begging Daddy Farang to save their failed economy when it collapses again as it did in '97 when we bailed you out with a 17 B $ loan?

Wow! I might get a pack of ten, next time I meet a lovely one to take home etc I can test first!!  Ha Ha!

Hate to spoil your fun but this may save you making a mistake.

Unless they've improved the tests, there is a window period of three months where a positive person will show negative.

So just cuz the girl tests negative it does not mean she does not carry HIV.
