English call car trunks boots, does that mean we are going to see elephants in wellies (wellington boots to the less informed)

Doesn't matter if you only view as eye candy

Only meaningful if the numbers are based on a standard criteria like population size.

Like asking how long is a piece of string, depends on current income, allowances and deductions, how much is to be received (is it a Gift or salary from abroad) to name but a few of the items that will effect the treatment.

Change the date of your trip to Savannakhet, so that it's before 10 May. Overstay with no consequences - basically it doesn't happen anymore.

Then send her to Rwanda, so she can see what real economic migrants look like

If you've got the money

So a set of conversations/selections relating to a funds transfer could become UK Bank - Why are you sending the money to WISE Me - For them to send to Thailand for my annual VISA extension WISE - Select reason for forwarding the money Me - For my annual VISA extension (I forget actual title of selection) Thai Bank (2 working days later) - Why have you remitted the money to us Me - For my annual VISA extension Thai Bank (2 working days later) - Dear Bank of Thailand, our customer XYZ has remitted money to us from abroad, he says it's for his annual VISA extension, can we pay him, he is registered for tax purposes. BoT (2 working days later) - OK Thai Bank (2 working days later) - We have now credited your account Me (After starting the process 2 weeks before) - Hoo FN Ray It's nearly there now.

perfectly true, I objected to the wife but was told that's how it's done in Thailand, in a tone that said mind your own business.

presumably bars with free air-con

The builders that installed the wooden shutters into the window frames in my kitchen extension, along with hinges, handles, locking bolts, etc. used a hammer to insert the screws, what a bugger to unscrew if you need to replace a shutter. Maybe they found a screwdriver and were discussing what it was used for.

Hope he remembered to include his watch collection this time.

You're telling me, I was fined many years ago by the Highway Police for doing so, made to overload the cabin by squeezing everybody inside. While they were checking my driving license, my wife pointed out a number of Thai's driving past with people in the back, the response was "We don't see them", presumably no money to be made by stopping them, witnessed by the fact that no receipt was given for fine payment.

The Personal Allowance is 12,570 GBP, and if you have to pay tax after an increase it will only be on the amount over 12,570 GBP and at a rate of 20%. E.G. if pensions totaled 13,000 GBP the calculation would be. 13,000 less 12,570 equals 430 taxable 430 by 20% equals 86 GBP tax so would still be 344 GBP better off, to say they would be worse off is totally incorrect, they would not be as well off as they might have been. Don't get me wrong, as a pensioner myself, I am not condoning the taxation of pensions (either state or private, by either UK or Thailand) my personal opinion is that pensions of any category should be tax free.

I think 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_state_pension Yet the main article states, Are we in the year 2070, by god I'm aging better than I thought.

I would say it's scam & would have ignored it. By the way what is "Satang".

I only have income in the UK (paid into an offshore bank and transferred from there) plus Thai bank interest, which is subject to Thai tax withholding. They consists of State Pension, Private Pension and an annuity from an old Company pension. I do not intend to take over any monies that could make me liable for significant Thai tax annually, leaving the remainer to be handled under inheritance rules, but will still need to submit details. Can you please advise which declaration form I should use PN90 or PN91, I'm confused on this matter.

The answer will be the same, we don't do that, I know a few that have tried for varying reasons and been given that specific response, stopped about the same time as they stopped doing income letters.

if your from the UK the answer will be NFC we don't do that

is that to be drawn before or after a skinful, as it always takes twice as long to find your way home after a session

Why don't they issue us with ankle tracker devices, that way they would know where we are all the time, doing away with the need for TM30 and TM47 (90 day) reports.

Using an NT (CAT as was) internet connection in Phetchabun, I have no end of trouble watching UK/US TV series' on an IPTV box, the rest of the family are watching Thai TV or playing games I'm the only one affected. Found out during a speed check NT are using a 3BB server in Nakhon Sawan as one of their connection hubs. Have no trouble watching live channels from Australia.

Until it starts to predict what you may do in the future, see movie "Minority Report"

I know it's Jomtien as you say, but I still don't understand the delay. I've used 4 different offices for annual retirement extensions and all of them approved on the spot and stamped the passport accordingly. Normally only takes about 30-40 mins in the office. Also with a Non-B and work permit, extension approved and passport stamped all in one 30-40 minute visit.

Retirement is simply 50+ (correct provided you can meet the financial requirements) Not working in TH (correct) Unless having a permit to do (then you won't be on retirement as the labor office will not issue you with a Work Permit - been there and done that)
