I'm going by the info above. Landlord received 6000 baht deposit. December rent payment was late but paid in full. January 2025 rent payment is owed and outstanding. The deposit is for possible damages to the room and/or missed rent. Depending on the laws and lease the landlord may have the right to evict but should follow proper protocols. My best advice is for her to at least message the landlord, pay what you can, promise to pay rest shortly after. As a landlord when you Ghost us it almost never ends well financially for a landlord. Some Landlords view the deposit as additional income they get from renting a room.

I believe I had to approve Plaid about 8 months ago when connecting a new account. From my research Plaid is safe and used by many banks to share information to complete a transaction. Here are a few links to help. https://wise.com/us/blog/is-plaid-safe https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/banking/article/what-is-plaid-174926375.html It is still totally up to you. My advice is always set limits and set alerts on any account you store money in. Change the password every 45 days, use an updated good browser or app, connect to VPN when accessing account and clear all info (Privacy, Security under settings in most browsers) when you close out and leave the website. Hope this helps.

My observation when visiting girlfriends family. Tablets will be used to play games and watch videos. They need to install software that if they don't use learning software or programs and advance through the lessons then only 15 minutes of free time use is allowed. My observation of family children is "quite is better" most times. Maybe save face, maybe to not feel uneducated. There is serious lack of initiative, understanding, and/or desire to look for answers or review resources to help in any way. Most lack any desire to understand how any process works. Steps needed to reach a result. There can be something broken that could be fixed by reviewing a YouTube video or website and most will not attempt or look for the answer.

I don't have time to sort through previous posts. Since you didn't clarify who provides the pension I'm assuming it's the State Pension According to: expattaxthailand.com/understanding-uk-pensions-tax-thailand September 17, 2024 "classed as ‘foreign sourced income’ and fully taxable in Thailand when remitted. There is no specific relief under the UK-Thailand Double Taxation Agreement for state pensions, making them fully assessable under Thai tax laws." If you remit to your wives account I believe the tax liability will be your wife's. The wife has full control over what happens to the money. Gift of this size seems suspicious to me. Additionally you can receive No benefit and receive none of the money in return. She can't buy you anything for your exclusive use. CONSULT with a tax professional as POR 162 may allow the portion earned prior to Jan 1 2024 to be remitted with no additional taxes owed.

I hope they work to resolve the issue or make it clear this could hurt you as much or more than it hurts me. Additionally hopefully they start arresting the ships, only releasing when the cost of repair is covered. Possibly filing insurance claim for repayment of costs for repairs.

Guys named most a couple of less distributed but good movies. The Business 2005 (Danny Dyer) A lot of parts of this movie are believable and we've seen is true. The Long Way Round (Ewan Mc Gregor) yes, I know it's a mini series.

We need to understand that Thai's view fighting as a part of their culture. Happens in a lot of schools or after school away from the building. They view fighting as a less severe crime as than other countries. They even have a visa for Muay Thai. I believe we view fighting differently, even uncivilized but we need to accept and understand Thai culture and how to interact to avoid major confrontation and understand the risks and results if we don't. One guy was doing the right thing, just run away from the big guy, he will get tired or bored and move on hopefully.

As mentioned problem seems Service Charge is usually not noticed until bill arrives. Service Charge is not defined. Service Charge should be included in the menu price and Not an additional charge. Lastly hard for customer to determine if menu price + 10% is a fair price for food quantity, quality, and service.

Might be a bit far but The Moon Eatery has a great breakfast. Quality, perfectly cooked food at fair price, good service, easy to find.

Myself and others I've talked to agree the weed smell is offensive. Surprised they haven't cultivated a similar variety that smells different or less offensive. Otherwise don't really care if someone indulges or not.

Same thing many bars and clubs only respect showed and given. Next even if you didn't break the glass, and security comes, say sorry, offer to pay (probably 100 baht for glass) and leave if requested. This isn't a situation that is worth the risk of injury. Why did she wait 4 days to report the incident? Maybe how long it took for hospital to treat and provide estimate for any dental work?

Was thinking same thing. It may be because if he falls, hits his head and dies the Police are blamed. Looks bad if media broadcast it around globe. Additionally Police are generally more tolerant and use those long restraint poles for similar situations.

I am just going by the info above. She is on a motorbike taxi, How was she drugged? Who would take or drink anything a random taxi driver gives them? I believe the Police want her to visit the hospital to get the test results and Medical reports to support her case. Hope everything works out okay. Many unanswered questions.

Sounds from the story the foreigners are mostly wrong. You see the fare estimate for different options in ride share app. Check wallet get it sorted before starting trip. Not enough info what the distance from the hotel to supermarket (currency exchange is) but this would be an additional round trip since they would get money from currency exchange for taxi and still need to get to hotel. Language barrier probably added to escalation. Both sides probably yelling and none understand what about. How can taxi be Wrong with Ride share app price? You can compare by asking another taxi what it would cost or compare both ride share apps Bolt, Grab.

I know the ones we feed one hour south in Saraburi are better behaved. I have been the only non-thai person feeding them in 6 visits. We generally feed in one area and then move and don't stay. Never try to touch, understand not to stare. Use stick to move them back. A couple have grabbed at the bag but most of the time it seems to be the bigger ones which my be leaders. Usually try to give them extra food to prevent the snatching. Monkey's may be displaying behavior as a product of the environment and because they have seen others do it.

No disrespect but they don't care. Ten of thousands of tourist or guest far outweigh the concerns of a few. The amount of money these events bring to the city is immense. I stayed in Pattaya this year for Christmas and New Years and now remember why I went to some rural area with mountains for every year post covid.

Thank You Mr. Frenchman and others for providing valuable comedy and entertainment throughout the years. Officially there is no prostitution. Officially when I was getting the lost tax receipt report at the Police Station to get a new tax receipt from the Department of Land Transport their was not a Ladyboy receiving assistance in having an Indian Man pay for services. When this happens the queue gets pushed back. The Thais find it just as entertaining as I do.

Next time let the dogs clear the riff raff away. You can also put your speaker outside and play opera. They will be gone pretty quick.

Gave girlfriends parents dogs chicken one day and tuna fish the next as Christmas meals. They eat rice and biscuit normally. After 2nd day they commented they didn't know the old dog could move that fast.

Seems like everyone he wanted to be liked and feel important and told a few tales along the way. I believe the drinking challenge was him again seeking acceptance, the desire to be liked, and to feel important. RIP, I'm very fortunate to have learned I have to just accept who I am and enjoy life. We all choose to be happy or sad. We all will struggle at some point in life. Try laughing, joking and spreading joy to others and enjoy life.

Can't the hold the parents responsible for this behavior? I thought I remember a few stories a couple months back about Police charging the Parents. Definitely not acceptable. I guess a group of us need to meet with the Mayor and some leaders of the Police to let them know this should not continue. Seems to be teen related events hitting the news. Did Police scare them away from Bali Hai pier area and now they have moved elsewhere to continue to cause problems?

The US health insurance scam. You pay a premium, then have to pay a deductible before they pay anything, then you pay X percent because of the copay. Then they will "Investigate" some claims they don't want to pay. Oh you want to see a general practitioner, yes first available appointment is in a month.

Seems she was playing the long con. I can understand depending on how long the relationship was at certain points sending some money to help. They never seem to ask for proof. The hospital will create a bill. She can easily photo and attach photo to any messaging app. If they are insulted and do not want to send proof then you know the answer to where the money is going. Like everyone has said do not give or loan a Thai money and expect to ever see it again.

Another day, another story of a criminal that has no clue how effective the Thai Police or Computer Crimes Division can be when motivated.
