Is this similar to a previous 'agency' which organized contacts of employment, work permits etc., but actual work was at the site of another company, and the 'agency took 20%, 25% - can't remember, of the salary and the 'employee' was responsibe for all costs?

I see another factor - why not offer student loans which the student can reduce / cancel by producing and implementing very highly innovate 'items' which are very highly valuable to society? A twist of this, in some countries universities offer students/teams the free use of the uni resouces to expand/build their ideas, in cases where a uni academic/supporters team see the possibility of very high contributions to society. In one case, if the innovations is implemented and produces very hugh value the uni gets some form of return on their 'investment'. Incentive for the uni to go all out to help.

What's the point? Trying to push people to love Thailand? Is that the expected purpose of / the value from the APEC group meetings and discussions.

And maybe the baby sitter hated dogs, all dogs and was violent to the dog, maybe she kicked the dog continuously. Who knows. Reality is that in all of these cases the real truth is not known, fake stories can easily be 'constructed' and lies and untruths seem to abound nowadays, especially in the US.

Hope the thieves are caught and punished and they have to make full restitution for his quite large loss, plus he should get compensation for the fact they committed a serious crime and caused him major loss. Good luck to him for the future.

Thanks, yes I'm a happy camper. Coming soon I need to make about 20 PP slides for a masters lecture in Ho Chi Minh City, hopefully without any bumps.

I've already downloaded LibreOffice and used it quite successfully. No bumps, so far so good.

And last time I bought one 27Baht. Well within my daily budget. Still same price?

QUOTE: "Both adult and child are dual Thai / Oz citizens." So do they have both Thai and Australian Passports? Could the child not leave Thailand on the Thai passport then enter Australia on the expired OZ passport?

And my instant thought is whether there's childen / young childre / toddlers living on the same floor?

As always you try to twist. Bye.

and some just don't know that help is available. and some would have zero trust in folks who say they can help.

Now suddenly he's trying to push the angle of OAP and OTHER INCOME. Nothing new. All OAP recipients who have other income know this is a different scenarion, for tax, compared to folks who receive the full OAP and have no other income, which is tax exempt and will very likely remain tax exempt. ENOUGH.........

Seems to me the 'psychiatrist' was a scam artist and not concerned at all with local laws.

QUOTE: It all depends if the government views a pension going to an Australian living overseas as an "income" or not. " I recently responded to a commercial advert (not on Asean Now) for a Tax Consultant / tax submission docs preparation agency in Sydney" . I asked if there's any chance any new tax rules could made OAP recipients living abroad have to pay personal Aust. Income tax? Summary of the agents response: 'There's no guarantee about anything. However for folks who receive the OAP and have no other income and regardless of where they are living the OAP is tax exempt', and same comment for Australian receiving either the DVA administered 'soldiers Pension' or the DVA administered permanent Disability Compensation Allowance (until recently called the Disability Pension). And 'I suggest no Australian Gov't would ever entertain taxing the OAP or DVA payments, where the pensioner receives no other income. All parties would very likely have an attitude that playing with OAP / DVA income would be considered totally inappropriate'. pensioners inhas always due to pay tax'had an e. "... 50 minutes ago, ozfarang said: It has nothing to do with the OAP.

And 'they' seem to be quite innovative as to what the charge is / what the fee is for. And not shy to tell you the 'name' of the fee even when it's obviously not logical. Friend had office in Bkk and and in Rayong and did the trip by car (with driver) every day. Company had 10 more mostly Thai/some farang consultants who did the trip every day with driver. At least several accidents every week. Friends car was hit (rear ended) as vehicles were travelling about 79 km per hr on open motorway, very few other vehicles on the road. A lot of damage to both cars. Cops come, clever cop asks to see insurance papers for friends company car and calls someone. Cop then announces he will charge friends driver with causing the accident because the phone call identified that this vehicle's insurance hadn't had any previous claims. The twist, 2 years later it was discovered that the vehicle insurance on the whole fleet of cars and trucks owned by the company was fake.

Yep, big problem in LOS. Some eat wood and some eat cement and some eat plastic. Need regular checking and spraying.

And depending on how efficient the actual seller or manufacturer is.

Qualified. How well qualified? Farang buddy was put in contact with a farang 'psychologist' a couple of years back in Bkk. Each session 2,000Baht payable b4 session starts. After a number of sessions patient asked for a report using the xxx assessment protocol plus evidence of Dr's qualifications, as requested by his health insurance providor. Psychologist disappeared, Office of condo where he was renting discovered he had given them a copy of a fake passport.

OK, but I have no doubt his intention is to increase property deals etc., into his pocket.

Hotel I used for years when I was in Bkk for uni lectures 450B with b'fast if book on line. I knew the uni was paying direct to the hotel. After some years I accidentally discovered uni was paying 1,300 per night plus 100 per day for breakfast. Uni did some quick research and found a better hotel, closer to the campus (10 min walk) 450 incl b'fast. And 25% discount on any other meals, drinks. And every Friday evening a garden BBQ for professors and prof. can invite up to 3 student, 100B each., food and 1 drink.

I just went right back to file explorer and clicked on the original Word document. Then I got a prompt if I wanted to OPEN the old document using OfficeLibre or use the Office version to open the file? I clicked on 'OfficeLibre'. I a few seconds all done and now on my desktop with a very big variety of options etc., across the top of the page. And I can edit/add to the file and save/saveas. Thanks again for mentioning 'OfficeLibre' as a possible solution. Time to stop panicking and complete the document and despatch it.

Actually I don't know. How can I tell and what's the importance? Appreciate help to learn.

but theyI've just downloaded https://www.libreoffice.org But now I can't find it. Also, the document I was working on Using MS Word which locked, how can I insert that into the Word version from libreoffice?

Yesterday I tried to continue to write a long Word document. Nothing happpens. I type letters/word again and again, nothing appear on the screen. Then I noticed at the top of the page: The file name plus 'Word Unlicensed Product'. Acer notebook, new about 3 years old. Shop (Banana) installed everything and from my understanding I paid for legal version. Never before any issue before with office etc. Any suggestions how to repaair or perhaps how to buy/get free new Word facility, very much appreciated. I'm in Chiang Mai, If any members can suggest a shop perhaps at Pantip, or anywhere, who are wizards with this stuff I'm happy to pay a reasonable fee. Thanks.
