    Why, oh why!
  2. Unamerican
    And it is essential to “tip the wife”?
  3. Unamerican
    Nor is there such a tradition! Much like europe.
  4. Unamerican
    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??
  5. Unamerican
    Which lady would that be: my cleaner perhaps??
  6. Unamerican
    This one will run and run! Such a comotion about a very few baht!!
  7. Unamerican
    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”?
  8. Unamerican
    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.
  9. Unamerican
    Please give us examples of such a charge!
  10. Unamerican
    Why do that?? . . . no Thai or European would ever do So!
  11. Unamerican
    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!
  12. Unamerican
    More incomprehensible stuff!!
  13. Unamerican
    Totally meaningless post??
  14. Unamerican
    Possibly — but please, anyways, explain the particular use of context here!
  15. Unamerican
    What’s decline? What has thid got to do with the Thai Baht??
  16. Unamerican
    Exactly how is that connected?
  17. Unamerican
    U.K. also has had a rate drop.
  18. Unamerican
    But do mice need apples? 🙂
  19. Unamerican
    Neither: I drink only Beer Lao.
  20. Unamerican
    In what senses is it “a personal issue”??
  21. Unamerican
    In what sense are they predicted to “show up” ??
  22. Unamerican
    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).
  23. Unamerican
    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:-).
  24. Unamerican
    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.

    Excellent summary! Many thanks.
