The UK is totally bankrupt so i think it's more likely that ALL state pensions will be means tested soon and any one with other income will get NOTHING.

Pattaya's reputation tends to attract all the tattooed morons from around the world, but yes many Brits. Give them a load of booze and sure they will try to show off.

Follow the black stripe up from the bottom, it then points left !

If you look at the black stripes on the chevron then yes they indicate a left turn in the road.

The main problem with Thapprasit is double parking. People just shut off one lane with their warning lights on because they can't be arsed to walk 10 yards.

Why divide by 60 months. I've had mine for 19 years, and hope to use it for another 19 years. 4 million divided by 456 = 8772 and i still have an asset worth 4 million. But i agree at 70 is maybe too old to buy, who knows you might drop dead at 75.

You can thank Anutin for legalizing weed to start their addictions.

Yes this was the basis of my question. My UK tax paid is also more than any Thai tax so i am also not going to submit a Thai tax return. If i did the Thai tax form would show that i owe Thai tax and i would then have to somehow argue the DTA negates that ! I was surprised to see OJAS saying that UK Government pensions were non assessable under the DTA. Is that really the case? If so then i need never submit a tax return here as my UK Government pension exceeds any amount that i might remit to Thailand.

At last a good news story

How did you record the UK tax paid under the dual tax arrangements. As i understand it the standard tax form does not provide for an entry showing UK tax paid.?

No price? i remember it being expensive

Well you have to have another private pension

If you are a long term UK expat you won't be on 40k a month. Mine was frozen 8 years ago and being contracted out in the UK i only get 26k a month, forever. Couldn't live on that.

So they FTSE100 has only gone up 30% in the last 5 years instead of 35%, what a disaster!

These so called "plunges" just bring the markets back to where they were a year or so ago.

I am leaving on the 11th

No need, i can tell you the cause now. The Chinese builders were bribed to used defective steel. Sorted Anutin.

One thing i have learnt in my years in Thailand. NEVER cross the road at a zebra crossing. I have nearly been run over twice in exactly the same situation.

So why did the Chinese officials try to steal the construction documents just after the collapse? and delete all details of the construction from it's website. More Chinese tofu dreg rubbish.

Eventually the fools will realize that Putin has no intention of ever accepting a peace deal. His aim is, and always was, the complete take over of Ukraine.

These are fair points but what is America supposed to do - accept that countries like China will dump heavily subsidized goods on their market and/or accept the tariffs other countries place on American goods. No country can continue with the massive trade imbalance that the USA (and UK) has.

They have already destroyed Phuket aka New Russia, this will finish the job

Don't most car issue an annoying bonging sound if the seat belt is not attached, mine does.

Except those things give me a hernia lifting them. I've been using the 1 baht machines for years no problems.

Maybe Thailand will reduce their 300% tariff on Californian wine.
