  1. @BritManToo ouch ... speedy recovery. Early harvest should ease the discomfort. You and the little lady have any disagreements lately 🤣 That's your reply to a valued member. A little reading comprehension goes a long way. Not to mention, compassion. This sounds past tense to me, though I'm not up on the kings/queen English, maybe us Yanks use the adverb/expression differently. ... "I've ever encountered in the UK" At least you didn't ask for a 'link' 🤣
  2. NO, actually I was a complete idiot ... BUT ... was able just just leave at any time, having the funds to do so. At worse, walk away from a rather inexpensive house that was built. Less than $10k USD invested. Also, no real internet forums and or source of info, that I was really aware of, 23 yrs ago. A bit more ignorance, as simply didn't look before moving here 🤣 Info is simply too readily available now to go blindly to a foreign country, especially if cutting ties with home country at the same time. If I was to do the same now, yes, I'd be an idiot...again. Actually back to my original comment you replied to, it was more about the IO y'all use, not he person seeking the CoR. Noting the offices I did use for all things, and it was a 'simple' process. Another reason I wouldn't have my Thai address at Krung Thep, Phuket or Patts/Jomtien, as couldn't deal with their silly requests. Way too frustrating, and why I lived where I did. Better research, more smiles. No reason for ignorance in 2022/23. Simply asking on a forum, what is needed for CoF @ Nonthaburi after Imm told him what is needed, speaks volumes of the OP. Simply do what they ask, as nobody here can help you, more than Imm already has. Nothing against the fine membership here🙄 but you don't see me posting too many queries.
  3. Simply contact the other delivery services, till you find one that serves both areas. More than few out there. I would start with Kerry.
  4. Don't stop killing each other now and talk things out. How stupid would that be 😂
  5. I'm so happy the celebs approve, as now I can sleep at night, knowing the best minds are in agreement.
  6. Considering what a CoR is needed for, then he or she is an idiot, and didn't do any research before moving here. Would explain why so many fail. Thinking of moving to TH ... hmm, what do I need? I'll just find out when I get there ... what could go wrong. First question I asked prospective landlord is... ... will you do TM30, and can I submit lease to Imm The very basic needed to live in TH long term.
  7. I call them discussions, until it's obvious the other party is simply a troll, and attacks the messenger instead of the message, then simply put them on the ignore list. Suggesting you do a little research, to rid your ignorance, isn't exactly argumentative. You're never to old to learn. BYE BYE
  8. That's just sad. I witnessed a similar situation at the high school I graduated from. When I attended, it serve two towns, the one it was located, and the town next to it. The school was rated #2 in the state, from the 'top'. Shortly afterward, 2 more towns were integrated into a 'new' school district. New taxes of course to build the new school. Not to be racist, but the one town, very large, was predominately black, and the other joined, predominantly white. Prior to this, the school had 3 black students ... ever, 2 were my friends & his sister, one my neighbor. We used to walk to school together, which go me labeled as a N-lover 🤣 Sadly, the joining new students, couldn't keep up, so instead of providing help, with all those new taxes, they simply lowered the grade / point average requirements to pass. Still rated #2 in the state ... but from the 'bottom'
  9. I read as past tense, and you were implying they have already stopped 1000s of rockets this past few weeks... ... "which has had to defend against thousands of rockets" Just the potential danger, which couldn't be stopped anyway, as doubt if they have enough launchers, let alone rockets. They only hold 20 rocket per launcher. I'm kind of hoping Israel loses this battle and leaves the Middle East permanently. Maybe USA can give them New Jersey. Then the Palestinians can live in peace once again. Hey, one can always dream ... 😎
  10. So you're a big fan of animal abuse. You may want to research what it takes to make an elephant fear man, so that it can be controlled.
  11. So you've completely ignored all the post stating the complete opposite, with maps verifying their replies: https://www.plugshare.com/
  12. My DD to BBL comes in as 'retirement funds', and fall under the 'tax treaty' as untaxable. No worries here mate Bob's Your Uncle
  13. We are talking about a country, that can't even enforce traffic ticket payment. As millions every year just bin their citations with NO repercussions ... so far.
  14. More 'what IF' scenarios ... 😎 Flights leave every hour, all day long. Choose wisely
  15. Can't see that happening. You put your 400k or 800k in the bank, then live of ATM withdrawals, tax free. Don't think they are going to invest that much time & manpower on the few expats here. They're after the Thais with big bucks overseas. Who are they to say you spend more to live than a minimum wage Thai. Besides, most here, legally, are married, retired or working. If earning, then you probably should get taxed if wanting to live here. You have choices.
  16. Mind boggling the ignorance of the non EV owners preaching their BS to EV owners. Equate it to a vegan, telling me how to cook a beef steak 🤣
  17. Spread as many smiles as possible, while enjoying your own 😁
  18. Your bank/CC company sucks. Mine got skimmed at an ATM, and security features kicked in when attempted to use, and bank (broker/VISA) cancelled the card, and mailed me a new one, to TH, even though my account address is USA....free.
  19. I know that. I just didn't want it to turn into a political sh!t show thread, and thankfully it didn't. THANKS FOLKS for refraining from those thoughts 👍
  20. Personally, I would simple send ThaiPost, registered w/signature, though you'll never get the signature thingy, as I never have. But assume they track it better. Private courier services are silly priced. It won't get much slower if at all slower. Have her put a 'hold' on her cards, till she receives. No real safety issue. And yes, FedEx and others do send CC to TH, as I've received once as a emergency replacement. Along with renewals (sent USA post) with no issues. Also no issues, as you have to activate the cards on arrival.
  21. I took company pension early, as rolling the dice, that I'll crap out before 75. Live longer, and it was a bad idea, but only about 12.5k a month at 35.5/$1. loss. Soc Sec was irrelevant, as been collecting (disability) for 22+ yrs, since 46 yrs old. Agree, they want you to wait, as they know, most will die. I've posted this before, and accurate #s from IAM union. I know they disperse 18 months of retirement checks on average to NWA employees, (now DL) and in my job classification, only 11 months worth 😲 Meaning most would not have made it to my age. That's why retirement funds are underfunded, (for those thinking about 70s & 80s) as they know, they'll never never need to pay out that much.
  22. ATM withdrawals, and how could they tell the difference from someone living here, or a tourist. For those with a home country bank account, and simple solution. Another would be, if wanting to deposit in your Thai bank, move funds in home country bank to a 401k/retirement fund account, and bring in that way, as most tax treaties don't tax retirement funds/accounts. Best to read your countries tax treaty w/TH. Along with next year, being 2 full months away, so you could bring over quite a bit now if wanting.
