    Forgot to say that I have a long list of suppliers, all flawless: Lazada, Shoppee, Ikea, Powerbuy, Jib, Advice, Wine Now, Banana IT, Apple store, Homepro, Best pump, Bankok Drugstore, Pulse clinic And a few more, sorry for not naming them.

    Tha's total nonsense. We have had at least one delivery a day, for the last 6 or 7 years, all prepaid as we a appreciate the delivery flexibility. And guess what? ZERO issues.

    Ok, but then social security should not cover alcohol related ailments.

    Just wait another 3 to 5 years... EVs will be the perfect second car for shorter trips, under 150 to 200 ks. Save and keep your SUVs for holidays.

    For good reasons: not lellow, no good.

    Good, no mercy.

    Got it! All these tourists went to Bhutan. "In a bid to attract international tourists, the beautiful Kingdom of Bhutan has decided to reduce its daily tourist fee of $200 (INR 16,509) to $100 (INR 8254). The kingdom has taken the decision to boost the tourism sector which is still waiting and struggling to recover even after a year after the end of COVID-19." Bhutan tourist fee

    Make all tourists tax resident, and charge them 20 times more than locals at national parks.

    Maybe, but we would have to look at the doctor who signed the victim's medical. Hard to believe that a "normal" 26 years old recruit could not complete a 10k run.

    So? I don't need hers.. She makes 30k a month, I make 300k, we have two kids. She is Thai, so must support he parents to some extent from her 30k. We have agreed that my/our money doesn't go to he folks without me making the decision. Honestly, I believe that any other arrangement can only lead to very miserable lives for us, parents and children. Dunno what some guys are doing here ?...

    Poor girls, the only reason they would have to do that is that they have a deadbeat husband. Known in Thailand as "Farang kee nok". My money, is my wife's money.
  12. Ben Zioner
    I got similar plans.

    Same here, my wife and kids included. A spectrum of symptoms very reminiscent of COVID, my wife tested but was negative. I wondered whether we have now very distant, highly contagious, strains that don't show up with the good old ATKs.

    Hence to good value of this thread, isn't?
  15. Ben Zioner
    Could you PM the coordinates of your agent? Even if we remain tax free, I'll need to find ways to minimize tax(es) for my Thai wife after my demise. She'll get half my pension (monthly) and my savings. So the tax changes definitely affect us.

    Sadly this cannot be entirely discounted. And amusingly they asked us to sign a document saying the 50k visa fee wasn't refundable, whatever happend to the programme. Regarding the transfer of cash before December 31, I reckon it is a good idea, but I'll spread it over 3 or 4 years, just to keep the tax in lower brackets, if the worst was to happen.
  17. Ben Zioner
    Could you clarify the meaning of "chicken littles" in this context?
  18. Ben Zioner
    Obviously, but let's pray they don't close it. You know Thais tend to believe that foreigners are ready yo pay any amount to stay in the Land Of Smiles. But the truth is that I couldn't afford to pay income tax in Thailand. I the EU many countries tax the family unit, for instance in France I'd pay only 35% of the tax I'd pay here.

    Who cares, I like both threads. Now I am planning another 30 hours torrent of great entertainment.

    Dunno who sounds like Hitler, you are supportive of the cold blooded murder of a thousand Jews. This was the first Pogrom since WW2. Now, in my post "cleansing" referred to all the extremist groups and potential sympathisers, no more than 50000. The government won't have any choice as neither the Israeli people nor the Diaspora can accept another Pogrom.

    I think they are pathetic, and so would be any real man attracted to them. I have been fascinated by little cats for 65 years and nothing else. My hand moving up an upper thigh stil gives me an erection, I don't need oral sex.
  23. Ben Zioner
    U bet?
  24. Ben Zioner
    It is the only way forward though. And if you are so smart, you should know it. Hamas has just given us a narrow window of opportunity to eliminate the Palestinian problem. We only have to respond in kind, power 10.

    And let's hope these people pay for their own airfares.
