*161# for prepaid AIS numbers will get you a message showing the last 4 characters of your registered ID.

And around a third of applicants are as dependants so the actual number of people qualifying of their own right is even lower.

Yes, as have some others. These alerts come in the form of SMSs so as long as you're within range of a mast you can receive them even if you're connected to wifi rather than mobile data. I seem to remember they could be switched off/disabled from your phone but looking at the menu options on mine now it doesn't seem so easy.

It may not apply to non-Thais if this is an issue for you. Discussed a couple of weeks ago on a post just down the page from yours.

Nobody has used one yet to find out immigration's interpretation, but if you read the email it mentions "You may choose to download or print a copy of this and retain it for the duration of your stay" which indicates to me it's not compulsory to have a print out.

Even though the rule wasn't brought in until 5 years later as per the post on the previous page?

May not answer your specific question but there's some other discussion in this thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1355683-new-payment-system-tagthai/

Are you referring to the new TDAC? It can only be done a maxiumum of 3 days before entry. Use the calendar box and you'll see dates beyond that are not selectable. Manually entering an ineligible date will give the Invalid format error message.

The restriction was introduced following discovery of a terror plot in 2006. 9/11 was 2001.

The airlines use the IATA system Timatic to check requirements and that shows your passport only needs to be valid for the period of stay. No 6 month rule.

Yes, it's adjacent to the Father Ray Foundation building which houses disabled children and students so ideally placed for these users.

Lots of threads discussing this, both for USA users and others. https://aseannow.com/topic/1358207-from-skype-to-lala-land/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1358572-what-is-your-go-to-provider-for-porting-skype https://aseannow.com/topic/1353194-skype-to-be-shutdown-in-may/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1358275-google-voice-to-replace-skype/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1355254-skype-going-voice-calls-using-sip-voip-services-and-clients-as-alternatives https://aseannow.com/topic/1357551-alternative-to-skype/

Thailand now available as the country of residence.

Don't overthink things, I'm not trying to argue with anyone and simplifying things (without distorting them) is quite suitable to get insight into a particular aspect of an issue. Much has been made about the guys level of drunkenness but I'm pretty sure in the UK it wouldn't matter a jot if he failed the evidentiary test (2 chances are allowed) he'd be in the cells until sober (ie he could pass) or overnight if he was going to be in court in the morning. I'm trying to find out what the situation would be elsewhere and it seems more than fair to ask a guy who should know.

So in your time on the job and with your experience of multiple cases, would you let a guy walk because he was only a little bit over the legal limit?

It can change for exactly the reason you describe. Land Office don't keep records of this and that's why a letter from the Condo Office is needed at sale time to confirm the percentages permit such a sale.

Agreed, keep records but keep a low profile. UK Government pensions are pensions paid to civil servants, armed forces etc and it's correct that they can not be taxed in Thailand. The UK State Pension (or OAP) is often confused with these Government pensions but shouldn't be as it is classed as "assessable income" for Thai tax purposes. Have a look at the DTA and you'll see the exact language used.

I'm pretty sure he's asking how to take a credit for UK tax paid against any potential Thai tax bill. This can't be done using the current system and the post above yours presents a fudge or workaround for anyone determined to get on the system. Personally my UK tax bill outweighs any potential Thai tax bill so nothing should be due to the TRD, so even more reason to keep a low profile and not volunteer any information unless asked.

I have no desire to ripen bananas, that was the OP and he has already been advised regarding ethylene. My post was not to promote bananas from Amazon but to indicate that your claim they were plantains was somewhat dubious as the picture used was being used on Amazon (and many other places I might add) to show bananas.

Tell Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/FRESH-BANANAS-FRUIT-VEGETABLES-PRODUCE/dp/B01BZIQ3P6

Putting them in beside other fruits like avocados or apples will also help as they too give off ethylene. Alternatively, putting them in the oven or microwave also ripens them much more quickly.

The 35 years requirement only fully applies to those starting employment post 2016. For those in the middle, as it were they could be lower. I've seen reports of as little as 26 or 27 years but still entitled to the full whack due to contributions made and the calculations done in 2016.

I think you were correct with your original assumptions, my point was that he could also have been locked up in parts of the UK at these levels as what you are quoting as a UK limit is much lower in Scotland.

You weren't. Only in parts of the UK. In others it's 22 micrograms or 0.05% BAC so the OP could have been locked up there too.

Why do you say that? It was operated by 407 Pattana company who I've used many times from their location in Pattaya just north of Pattaya Klang.
