  1. And it is essential to “tip the wife”?
  2. Nor is there such a tradition! Much like europe.
  3. Why “leave a bill” for her? What are these “bills” you leave Around?? Also, sometimes it is a bloke! How does your cleaner comm at home??
  4. Which lady would that be: my cleaner perhaps??
  5. This one will run and run! Such a comotion about a very few baht!!
  6. Absolutely: these security guys definitely need our support! But maybe people do not call such gratuities, not tied to any other payment, to be ”tips”?
  7. I do not think you mean “service charge”, the typical 10% in the bill is not that. It is just part of the cost, like the 7% VAT.
  8. Please give us examples of such a charge!
  9. Why do that?? . . . no Thai or European would ever do So!
  10. Not just the title! The whole thing reads like mystical nonsense from a, hopefully mythical, country far, far away! Please can this forum stick to more sensible, local news and speculation: most of us have zero interest in such foreign stuff!
  11. Possibly — but please, anyways, explain the particular use of context here!
  12. What’s decline? What has thid got to do with the Thai Baht??
  13. In what sense are they predicted to “show up” ??
  14. Not quite, since there are many components of a U.K. State Pension. Thus some lucky people get paid considerably more as part of their U.K. State Pension. This is because they have been forced, or chosen, whilst in employment, to make substantial payments into it (SERPS, for example).
  15. Ah yes: but how do I get to not pay the 45% to the U.K. (not that they do not need anything they can get from me, right now:-) and pay only the 35% to Thailand (not sure that the Thai government needs any money:-).
  16. My interpretation (some time ago) of how the calculation of “tax paid in the U.K.” is done means that your calculation is correct *only when* you bring all your (taxable) income into Thailand.
