Gee I cant understand how something like this can happen in a land where dogs are allowed to freely roam about

To the owners house and if they leave it on a leash, I have 2 dogs both rescued from road sides(both spayed females) one is a Bang Kaew(which the Thais are scared of) and the other a mix, we walk them locally every second day both on leashes, we do limit where we walk them because of stray dogs. I have never walked dogs near people off a leash, its not difficult and if it is keep them at home.

She definitely doesnt fall short in the air head category

I bet they got their licenses for medicinal use

One good thing for Aussie ex military and civil servants our so called pensions are exempt, so I will only be bringing in that money from now on and if top up needed any money from bank account held before 1jan2024 and dividends that have already been taxed. Aged pension is not exempt, use it to pay for travel etc with a Oz travel agent.

As a general rule to us farangs the hospital gives you enough for 3 months (well that's what I get from the local hospital for blood pressure tablets) my thai wife gets 3 months of menopause drugs and then they ship another 3 months later.

Also not all local offices are the same, some read the what is required differently, like my office did, they read if married need a copy of marriage certificate as need to be married, that is just the start after we were married still a lot of hoops to jump through, but don't give up yours might be a more friendly office.

The police should let the gang know they have brought swords to a gun fight

We had a few ladies who swept roads for a time but haven't seen them lately, when I lived in Chiang Mai there were people who cleaned different sections of the roads around the moat, they need a 1 baht deposit on all containers food and drink.

Well on my morning walks, there is lots of litter on the roadside mainly drink containers and food containers, it slowly peters out at about 6 klms from town, and there are a few areas where some individuals weekly dump their household rubbish.

Well they do up here in the sticks a lot, but I think Chinese they do that openly there, but also its not in the temple but outside.

Oh the driver cant see 100 metres, it should never have started a turn.

This is a one off thing as it happened to me when they changed accounts and yes I leapt as well after a quick check, The other thing is they say this rate is valid for x amount of time when you first log to it. Then you could hold and wait and see, maybe if you do a lot of cancels the penalty comes in.

Before I bought clippers because of covid so the wife could do the whole family the local shop was 70baht but he always asked us what they charged last time, I didnt mind paying a bit more than the locals who couldnt afford much more than what he charged them as its not a wealthy town.

1 thing I have used mine for is easy access to the local hospital in emergencies which as I age have happened a couple of times at night lately.

I just buy 3 large bottles of bleach on lazada and this does the trick.

Mike Lister Replied: I will be delighted to do so, all anyone had to do was ask. Goodbye. Sorry everyone but you're on your own from hereon, straws and camels and all that. Dont let one melon who hopefully gets caught up with his 65k brought in each month, stop you from posting, tax in any country is a minefield with many interpretations and only with gathering information can you hope to get an insight, I wont have to pay tax here but I will need to do a return and will anyone with retirement or married extensions using monthly inputs it seems at this stage from a lot of countries, I know I worked in tax in Oz and the way I saw things was different others in my office on some things.

Thanks yeah its sort of similar to Australia in a way, but you do get the choice to opt out if you dont think you will have no tax to pay in the future, I will have a small amount of tax to pay there this year I will make sure.

We just have ours on our phones and send them in the line app, had a problem with some forms (Buri Ram) for pension just had to send them on the line app when we got home love working with small IO's.

Does this mean if you have all the deductions ie 150k tax free and 60k 60k 190k and your amount brought in is under this, then you dont need to file a return or still have to file just dont have anything to pay.

1 thing for you for next time and others for the future ask for a phone number so you can ring before hand to see if it is ready yet, the first time I had a long wait time this year and rang on the day they told us too and they said try again tomorrow and it was ready then. the sticky note now stays in my passport with that number.

I used 100mm blocks on a two room and man cave build, it is cool but as we dont live there yet only the inlaws do and it seems just fine, the guys who did it put in reinforcing beams at waist high, Ilooking back I maybe should have put venting bricks in the 2 rooms, I have them in the man cave as its very narrow with glass blocks as well for light its morning cool but afternoon warm will fix this in the future.

Yeah dont get caught on the inside part of the road at Chaing Mai as all the water is pulled from the moat and that stuff can make you very sick.

Yes living in the sticks does have at least one advantage ease of immigration visits.
