  1. So you don't understand income tax at all. Most countries do the same: a) Buy the vote of the masses, hence [near] 0 tax up to half a million a year, that where many Farang retirees are BTW, b) Be subservient to the power of money, by implement all sorts of tax evasion schemes for the rich, c) Hit the middle classes as hard as you can, as they are not too many voters and neither do they have the power of big money. Doubt there are many rich amongst the LTR holders, the are mostly the middle class. I's be paying close to one quarter of my income if I had to pay here. I have always hated the progressive income tax systems, because it hurt me when I was submitted to it, but also just for what it is: an incentive for mediocrity and laziness. Ronald Reagan is one of the few rulers who could see this and do something about it. Even though he never managed to get a true flat IT implemented.
  2. Totally unintelligible... Or are you saying that LTR holders should volunteer to pay tax? Which would be even more stupid.
  3. Yes, they made that announcement at Terminal 21, yesterday when they became aware that most Farangs were wearing a face mask.
  4. Back in 1983, my wife's first job was to match immigration entries/exits at the Belconen (ACT) immigration office. All movements being stored on an IBM mainframe. Overstay cases were referred to Federal police. Here they wait until a xenophobic neighbour dobs you in.
  5. Could someone explain to me what the effect of cannabis is? I know that alcohol makes be happily uninhibited, and then plain sick, while Tylenol removes most of my old age aches. No idea about cannabis. 45 years ago, in the North, I had three puffs of an opium pipe with zero effect, but I am not a smoker. That was my drug addict career so far.
  6. Someone told me that for Bitcoin mining you had to wire an invisible bypass of your PEA meter. R U doing that?
  7. I am with Cigna (UN) too. Who did you deal with to get that ad hoc certificate, your Cigna contact of your HRD?
  8. Sure, but they could make correction through import duties. I could imagine duties for private overseas imports being higher that those of licensed importers.
  9. I think you gave the answer, for import you'll deal with Thai Customs, not Thai RD.
  10. You could forever, because they'll dig up [probably few] expat cases every year, with arrears and fines to be paid back to Jan 1, 2024 (or t-10 years).
  11. Just tell her you have a mia noï.
  12. So you reckon he won't be his own successor, because he was Mussolini in January 2021, wasn't he?
  13. You are talking of the burgers ? right ? or..
  14. Didn't say they were cheap. I just confirm they are tops. Also OP seems to be the sort of guy who would have a proper health cover. I see them once a year, follow up visits are more like THB 1500 , but I pay only 10% of those bills. Remember, Thailand is now a country for people with proper health cover.
  15. Go to Rutnin. Possibly better than most eye care facilities in the West.
  16. That's a funny twist. My standard insurance certificate doesn't show an expiry date, as there isn't one, but shows that I have been a member of the plan since 1991.
  17. There is a need for education indeed. And that includes geezers posting on Aseannow. Considering the reactions I have read on the thread on PrEP.
  18. BS alert please read this. " ."HPV vaccines can prevent infection with disease-causing HPV types, preventing many HPV-related cancers and cases of genital warts
  19. Hilarious, first it isn't foreign policy, it is plainly defense. Denying Israel it's right to defend itself reeks of antisemitism indeed.
  20. Nope. Do you send them a letter every time you have sex, to tell them with whom, in what position and with what kind of protection. Get a life..
  21. No it means they take care of themselves.
  22. PEP is Post Exposure Prophylaxis, PrEP is Pre Exposure Prophylaxis. Either require you follow a specific protocol. (HIV) PrEP can be taken on demand and requires a double dose with 24h prior to exposure followed by one dose a day while active followed by two doses after the last exposure. Don't use without medical supervision anyway. If you have a good health cover you'll get a refund. "Commercial" kind of insurances might not as some pointed out. The Thai medical system makes them available to Thais. OP is quite happy with the Red Cross.
