  1. My quotes were from that link. Certainly when I inquired about it, when my eligibility for UK State Pension started in March 2023, I was informed that even if I deferred, it would revert to the amount per week at the date of eligibility. So yes, maybe things changed since you deferred, as supported in the text of the links I copied.
  2. Not so, if you live in Thailand, and you claim you are not resident of UK. As far as I can see, it remains locked at the date you became eligible:
  3. Call +974 41445555 (in Doha). Even if the "Let's Chat" makes you wait, just be patient.
  4. Do you have a membership? If so, log in and go to "chat". Much better than speaking to the local number, (which is answered somewhere else).
  5. Can you help me out with what I'm missing. I'm over 65 and I come to a figure of THB500k non taxable: 60k Personal Care Allowance 100k (up to) Pension Income Allowance 190k Over 65 150k Zero-rated 500k Total ....what's the additional 70k? Thanks.
  6. I'm a farangy, and my lawyer got me a blue book, a yellow book and a pink card, (all pretty colours), from my Amphur (Thungmahamek) in Bangkok. My partner and I jointly own our condo. He too is not Thai, but only the house number appears in the blue book, and in the yellow book the same house number, both our names, me first page and then him on the second page. We both signed Amazonian forests of paper, met the head honchola, and paid the lawyer, (I can't remember how much). So in answer to your question, "yes"; they do make it up. I think we did this all around the time of the reintroduction of the TM.47 hoopla, which then died down, (as in not required for re-entry, or going out of province etc).
  7. As in the title. Are they widely available?
  8. Then we agree. But the correlation between control and kids is a stretch, IMO. I do however think that the initial rollout of the cannabis decriminalisation here was ill-conceived, in that there is no regulation on the strength and measurement of THC content available. That is the bit they needed to get right first. But it would have required planning and a means to test. Just as with alcohol being at a maximum of 40% proof, in the case of cannabis, it's dangerously unregulated. One shop I've bought from would only sell CBD products, another THC, and the gummies were far too strong, even in miniscule quantities. A spliff from another shop that someone brought one evening, had me in the death throes after one drag. I wouldn't go anywhere near it again here.
  9. Bit like the alcohol sales hours then. Close sales window during 2pm to 5pm because kids come out of school, and in every other country in the world, kids automatically head to the off licence for their hooch.
  10. Meanwhile in Germany today.... I guess it's all about planning, discussion, implementation.
  11. The spidermen are still in situ, (well not as I write), but they will have a go tomorrow. They've already had several.
  12. Thank you. I have passed the information on. They have certainly tried turps, washed with soap and water, window cleaner etc. This cleaned the window of it's paint, but after rain, streaking marks were left, which never happened previously.
