ok.

ok. so his ok on that one if non resident Ps what about if the company he worked for has a place of business in the uk ?

Not sure, but if he had his salary paid into a uk high street bank maybe that is arising income. I m not sure on this one.

Talked to a tech a few times. no problem from Thailand using skype

just looked at uk government website looks like you can download the forms for self assessment.

You still have to pay tax on uk rental income. resident or not. and income arising in the uk Unless your non dom. They may/ may not waver the fine. think your stuffed on that. Ps just looked a uk government website looks like you can download the forms for self assessment

Sounds like time to look again at the uk residency test. Maybe something to do with arising income.

Op never bothered to fill in tax forms for 2 years 9 months. !!!!! what's has loosing his job in a foreign country got to do with that. why did he need to fill in a tax form for the uk ? Has he got undeclared income there. ? Rules are rules . But if you have a good reason for your non compliance. they will wave the fine or part of it. Good luck.

Op, Skid marks showing through your elephant pants could be an issue.

Nah , it's just to be nasty. Power tripping and all that.

That's a whole different case mate. Maybe you should have stated that in the first place. If its your own house, get someone in to sort it out If its a rental home, hard to get landlord to sort it. just go with the fix you have.

THAI netizens Fuming, Snowflake alert. TIT.

If the pipe is sealed in, with what ever way you do it. The out flow will regulate it's self. Thing is, it's Thai plumbing, anything could be going on underground from the day the place was built. best left alone, if you can. Ps are you 100% sure nobody has dropped anything down the pipe. when the old /new washing machine was put in. ?

Be carful the gatekeepers will get upset.

Looks like that could give you a nasty surprise after a few beers. ouch.

Must be some issue with people from OZ / America , , Maybe water does flow up hill. just as the Thais, try and get it to do. .

Ok. You can get the plastic/rubber thing you posted. but you will still need to seal round it with silicon sealer. the DIY stores will have a rubber bung/boss that will fit the pipe and the opening in the floor but they are expensive and will most likely still leak a little. I doubt the pipe in the floor is blocked as you had no issue before. it's the volume of water trying to go down the pipe. This is what I do, have done in several Thai style homes. forget any insert, just buy a good quality, ( not a cheap one ) clear silicone sealer and silicone the pipe straight in the floor. let it set 24 hours. clean and dry and key , all surfaces first. cut the pipe to the correct length, leaving enough to pull the machine out if needed in the future. make sure you push a good 2 inch of the pipe in the floor covered in silicon, and smooth a lot round the top when finished. yes it a bit messy, but will last a few years. easy to redo, easy to get out if needed. Good luck.

Thank you for showing me your lack of understanding of how a standard Thai house is usually constructed and the standard type of washing machine that is used in these homes.

Op, Can you tell me, are you using a standard top loader washing machine that has gravity emptying of the tub, at the lowliest point of the machine. and the drain pipe goes direct into a pipe in a ceramic / concrete floor ?

That's handy to know. When you are in Thailand and the washing machine is siting on a concrete floor with a plastic pipe sticking out the floor.

I treat the Thai's with the same respect as they treat me.

Moving forward Thailand 4.1.

Op do the same as a Thai person would do in this situation. we all know what that is. TIT.

Yes, I have fond memories of the old tea plantations in Barnsley. and Bradford.

Didn't I meet you last week in a bar in pattaya. But I thought you were a Navy Seal then.
