For your info, TM 30's are not issued at Samui main immigration office but at their other offic near Chaweng Noi. (Just in case you have to do your own )

What country issued passports with the same number?

If it's a bike, kick start it. If no kick start, then it's a scooter. Take the registration to a dealer and order new keys

My understanding from the UK-Thai double taxation agreement is thus. If you have a government service pension,(ie civil service, armed forces, teacher etc.), they are explicitly non taxable in Thailand. Old age pensions and private pensions are taxable in Thailand. Any tax paid on these pensions in the UK can be used to offset any Thai tax liabilities. You are also entitled to Thai tax deductions for,among others, health insurance premiums, children's education costs etc.. The qualifying days spent in Thailand under UK - Thai double taxation agreements are 183 days. If you bring in an exempt pension you would have to prove that it is indeed an exempt pension. ( wise transfers may be a problem in this regard)

I hope he signed a new double taxation agreement while he was here as the current one runs out in June I believe.

Running eye clinic in Bangkok is very good. Had a detached retina fixed there 4 years ago. Great treatment. Great surgeon.

I had cataract surgery in suratthani some 3 years ago at a private hospital. No need for an overnight stay. I was back in my hotel within the hour. Next day I had to call in for a checkup before going home. The previous year I had detached retina surgery in Bangkok and had to stay one night otherwise my insurance would not pay as it would have fallen under outpatient treatment not inpatient. So no requirement from the hospital to stay but maybe necessary to be covered by your medical insurance.

I had the same problem years ago but did not want to take drugs and so changed my diet instead. Ie no butter, no prawns,, (one of the foods with the highest cholesterol), and no fatty snacks like crisps, salted peanuts and fried chips, no full fat milk. My cholesterol improved drastically but I was very active and still am. It's all common sense really.

Correct. However some offices still insist on Bt400,000 and Bt40,000, Samui being one of them.

I didn't know Armani made furniture

I paid what you have been quoted,(52,000), in 2014 for my wave, so I think it will be a lot more now.

Try a gas bill, electric bill or council tax bill. Any of these will prove your residential address.

I'm pretty certain any funds brought in after 1/1/24 are taxable.

Yourself mixing up health insurance and accident insurance. Two different things.

Britishop. In Pattaya will deliver anywhere or you can visit the premises. Look them up online

Usually your insurance policy only covers that sort of amount if you are an inpatient, even for one night.

Did you remember to register it at the Amphur?

Don't try the TM86 or 87 route at Samui Immigration. They will not accept that this is in the regulations.

It is exactly that. A pyramid seller of cleaning products. Been around since the 60's.

I showed them a printout from the bureau website quoting the requirements but because it had a link in blue at the bottom of the page to bangkok/imm, they pushed it back at me saying,"This is from Bangkok, go to Bangkok".

As long as he is not in Samui. They told me last week they will not do ve to nonO.

Oh. Mr and Mrs and Master Bates, from off the Suffolk coast? No country recognises it.

I was going to do the same, but at Samui Immigration. After three visits to make sure it was possible and even taking a printout of the conditions from the RTPI website, I was told" you cannot". "This is from Bangkok, go to Bangkok", and threw the printout back at me. So, Samui doesn't allow this!!

The UK double taxation agreement clearly states 183 days.

I use a. Cable, (phone connector one end and USB on the other). Works perfectly with my Samsung android.
