Land at Heathrow you think you're in India then into the suburbs it could be an African ghetto, soon they'll be necklacing going on there too

Just think some poor man has to wake up beside that every morning

The other way round in London, it's the foreigners attacking the tourists and indigenous population there. No wonder why the Thais don't want aliens taking over their country

Pxss over your balcony into his

The Thais would have already informed UK customs of the Asian gentleman with a British passport and what he had in his bags

Oh I would rather not tell you my category. Don't want to upset any married members. 🙂

Plenty of members here have ex bar girl/paid for wives but many won't admit it even to themselves

Fair enough although I haven't seen an email. My banks, Krungsri and Bangkok bank have not mentioned anything to me.

Can I ask why did Kasikorn request you provide a Tax ID? Was it because you are trying to claim back tax paid on interest or do you think it was for another reason?

From my understanding the 30 Baht scheme is still valid, however waiting times can initially be long but do improve once you get the ball rolling and start to see the specialists

I dont have any doubt that Wongsaphat is telling the truth and that this kind of intimidation and extortion by the Thai Police happens daily.

Here's a few Baht in an envelope to turn a blind eye. That's how businesses are allowed to operate in Pattaya

No they won't start declaring bribes on their tax returns just like they won't declare the extra bribes they will want for not filing a tax return to get an extension of stay. But then again there will be no tax returns needed by most of us and nobody in any authority has ever said there will be

While we're at it, what is going to happen to the thousands of retirees lining the pockets of our friends at immigration to facilitate their stay here without the 800 grand in the bank? Are they going to file tax returns?

They'll be no such thing as Thai tax returns for the average farangs of this world so a massive Yawwwwn to all the scaremongers who persist with their agendas despite there being no laws to back up their rubbish. Not interested in a guessing game, only facts and there are none

No doubt about where I suspect the cops got their information. Everybody's a winner except for Daniel the ball bag

So many times I've seen motorcyclists on the phone and with mirrors checking the hairstyle, this is what can happen.

Somebody should put a bra on him, the fat fcker

He's not really sorry, just begging the Aussie to drop the charges and by the looks of it fatty is having none of it

I think you need to have a good hard think. Almost every retiree I know in Thailand uses an agent to facilitate their extension of stay. Not one of them has 800,000 in a Thai bank. I'm guessing the number of expats using an agent runs into the thousands. Do you think immigration will want to lose this source of income? No they won't, in fact if and that's a massive if these tax proposals ever become law, immigration and the agents will find a way around it, for a fee of course.

And yet all the scaremongers amongst us would have us all believe we were to be taxed for this and need to declare that. What a load of crap, I've thought all along it will all come to nothing and I still do. We all know why some of the self proclaimed experts would have us believe the nonsense. Wouldn't trust any of them.

Most of the Iceland stuff and Greggs is cheaper at Villa than Siamburi's so they're obviously marking the profits up a bit steeply. You could almost suggest he's ripping folk off. Part of what they were pulled by the FDA for I believe was buying frozen fruit and veg from Makro in kilo packs for say 89 Baht and then re-packing them in half kilo packs then selling them on to gullible punters for the same price. Good work if you can get it. I only rarely go there these days if I see they have a once in a blue moon bargain, as in my opinion since the current owner took over those are few and far between.

They're all at it. I bet there are a miniscule amount of high ranking Thai cops that haven't indulged in corrupt activity of some sort

You didn't say if you had a child with her or if you are still intimate with her? If the answer to both of those is no then I would suggest you move on from her

If I was you I'd start working out ways to minimize your inevitable financial losses which by the sound of it are not far away.
