Lorry

Savings you already had on 31st Dec 2023, can be remitted tax free any time, also in the future.

I found @simon43's idea interesting and tried to read up on it. This turned out to be not so easy. Peganum Harmala is recommended for a lot of things. So, 2 questions to OP: 1.What exactly is the 1g/day that you are taking? You say it's on Lazada, can you post the link, please? 2. Are you still taking it and does it still work? In case you stopped, did the symptoms come back?

Did you have to pay tax on the inheritance money?

Used to be possible in MBK, but I haven't been there for years. Hopefully someone else can give you more information

We miss them badly

The military hospital in Bangkok is Phra Mongkutklao Hospital, near Victory Monument. It would not be my first choice. The air force has a hospital near Don Meuang, and the navy runs a small hospital at Samut Prakan. Both are of less interest for tourists.

Spelling: Escitalopram Better than calling, ask the pharmacy in line (in Thai, or just write the name of the medicine you want without any other words): @bwc0432c for Rungrot pharmacy @kmc4655g for Klongton pharmacy, which is a couple of houses south of PB pharmacy on the same side of Sukhumvit 71 (if you see tops, you have passed it) and has the same prices PB pharmacy is better contacted by phone (preferrably in Thai) 02-314 1394 or 02-314 4394

Yes, it's added No, it doesn't replace it You get both.

Yes, but not in Soi 81, I am afraid

Try https://www.immigration.go.th/#serviceonline If you are in Bangkok, try https://gov.immigration1.queueonline.net/appointment/login.html?v35 It sometimes works, not very intuitively though The old link used to be https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131 It's not working.

You are funny. You follow your masters from Mainland China in every sentence - and then you say mainlanders are too stupid to develop a good business idea by themselves?

Malaysia deports Taiwanese to Mainland China because Malaysia is licking China's boots. As I have said before, Taiwanese are very valuable workers in the scamming industry, they speak Chinese (for the main market) and English (for the US, the emerging market) and they are digital natives. The bosses are mainland Chinese. No scam enterprise is interested in 75y.o. Swiss computer illiterates.

In Hua Hin, this has been officially adopted as the attitude towards foreigners (decades ago already). In Bangkok or even Pattaya, it's up to the individual how they treat foreigners.

Why is this in the "News" section? Nothing new about it

Many Taiwanese are too scared to visit Thailand anyway. Too many have been kidnapped by the scam enterprises in SE Asia. Taiwanese scam workers are valuable because they can speak Chinese (mainland China is still the biggest market for online scams), they can speak English (the biggest emerging market for online scams is the US), and many have IT knowledge (scam bosses still don't want to pay the kind of salaries and perks their brethren in California pay)

You are right. But the easiest way to get help at the airport is ordering a wheelchair (free) if your age makes it plausible that you cannot walk those endless miles through the airports. You are right, again, that traveling to the UK only makes sense if he has someone and somewhere to go.

It's too early. Home governments may need years until they react. They just got notified in the end of last year.

Individual transfers are not reported, balances are reported. Whether or not you have a Thai TIN doesn't matter. Whether or not you stay more then 180 days should not matter, either

This will work IF he is still lucid enough not to cause problems. Just order a wheelchair and get a non-stop flight. If he is so demented that he does things like getting out of the wheelchair, refusing to board, unable to eat... whatever, he needs someone to travel with him. If he is incontinent, or cannot use the toilet on the plane, things get complicated.

I know him!

OMG Just for you: the second post was irony. I thought that was obvious. It explains why Thai police would say "they are all there by their own will". BTW the involvement of so many foreign embassies, since about a year ago, has disturbed the owners of the scam enterprises. So they have started to pay higher wages, to attract volunteers, and to rely less on kidnapping and torture. But it still happens a lot.

Very expensive

Good. Sleeping with earplugs, I cannot hear it at all. During the day, it doesn't disturb me. (I am very sensitive to noise. Xiaomi is quieter, BTW)

It is impossible being kidnapped in Bangkok and then being driven for many hours through all of Thailand across a border to the scam center, passing through many police and military checkpoints and crossing an international border. Thai police, military and immigration would notice. So, these people must all have traveled on their own will, with the proper visa. Agreed?

They kidnapped a lot more than 7000 people. Online scamming has become a global industry, bigger than the drug trade. It has taken over whole countries (eg Cambodia). It originated in China, but the scamming enterprises now need English speakers to serve the US market. Their employees usually come willingly to Bangkok (having been duped), but not many work willingly in a prison compound, complete with torture rooms, in warlord-held territory in Myanmar, or in the Lao part of the golden triangle.
