"Foreighn Income" and your Thai Accountant.
Samh replied to swissie's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Are we taling about this "I am absolutely sure, that such a constellation would also be applicable in connection with "foreighn income"." I must admit I was confused. What has a constellation got to do with it. Not interested in the incorrect spelling of foreign. -

Just out of interest, how does an Indian born man, or any foreign born person for that matter, get Thai citizenship? -
Do they have extra cars? These are fixed length trains that can't easily have extra cars added, even if they were avaiable. I have often wondered why they don't buy extra cars especially the pitifully short ARL trains. The platform lengths will accomodate longer trains. It just comes down to money.

A rant about Thai driving.. I know.. Yaaaawwwnn
Samh replied to 1happykamper's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Travelling along the Nakhon Nayok to Rangsit road a few days ago. The gf driving. A kid in school uniform runs across the three lanes of fast traffic. Climbs over the concrete barrier then runs across the other three lanes. There was a pedestrian foot bridge less than 50 m away. I also think Thai drivers are the most inconsiderate I have seen. But as to getting worse, I have actually seen a few, only a few mind you, move out of the way of an ambulance with its sirens and flashing lights on. -
British Man Arrested in Thailand for 20-Year-Old UK Murder Case
Samh replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
Even Axel Rudakubana was considered innocent and until he changed his plea to guilty. And he was treated with kid gloves. Issued a nice picture of him as an innocent angelic choir boy. -

Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
Samh replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Just like right now. My battery is flat and the phone wont take any charge. Luckily I can use whataapp on my laptop. But since I need to scan the QR code with the damn phone I can't use Line. Just and wait until the ETA is on the phone. -

Samh replied to parafareno's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Any reason they are awkward in Poi Pet? I did a legit land crossing from Malaysia last year and it was very easy. -
coming to thailand in february for 6 months

Yes you may well have problems. On arrival at Bkk I was asked how long I was staying. My return flight was 90 days but I had a onward ticket for 60 days. On arrival they did ask to see the outbound flight and recorded it on my records. I then decided not to use the onward ticket as I am meeting somebody travelling to Bangkok around that time so I was thinking of an extension. I am now 47 days in and a few days ago I got the chance to go to Poi Pet Cambodia for a couuple of days in a friend's car. Coming back into Thailand I got a real third degree grilling. Why wasn't I going to Singapore, the onward flight that I had and I was not taking, when was I coming to Thailand again, did I have a family in Thailand. I was just coming for 3 months, so just an addional 30 days. You are coming for 6 months so will need an extention another exempt entry and another extension or two more exempt entries. Given the problems I had just staying 90 days I would say you are going to have problems. They seemed to have really clamped down. -

Or the UK. Nobody can stop you filming or taking photos in a public place. I have heard dash cams are illegal in Germany. Is that true? -
Thailand's Visa-Free Policy for Chinese Nationals Faces Scrutiny
Samh replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I like you have visited Thailand once a year going back further than 20 years. Like you missed the covid period. Never, never until arriving in December have I been asked to show proof of onward travel. How long was I staying 60 days I said. Showed her onward booking to Singapore. My return to the UK was in 90 days times. Stamps the passport. I deciced to give the trip to Singapore a miss and cancelled it and did an over night trio to Poi Pet. Then re-entered Thailand. How long are you staying? I leave on the 8th March. Show her itenary from the travel agent. She seems confused. Point to the Bkk to Lhr via Doha on the 8th March. Still confused. What about Singapore she asked, I cancelled it I said. Hell I am a tourist, we change our minds sometimes. When are you coming back to Thailand? I have no idea I said. Did I have a family in Thailand? No I don't. I have never in the years coming here been made to feel so unwelcome and made to feel like I am some sort of a burdon on Thailand rather that somebody who puts thousands of pounds into the Thai economy. The first time ever I have actually come to Thailand twice in the same year. If this is going to be Thailand's attitude to anybody who dares to want to come more than once a year I think I need to find a country that is more welcoming. -
I am leaving Thailand - yes taxes!!!
Samh replied to Celsius's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
When in the UK builders stop demanding cash payments for building work because that want to fiddle their taxes then I will feel guilty about dodging taxes. I bet a lot of them sign on unemployed as well. Really annoying being in a queue in Costco stuck behind somebody paying with a wod of cash the size of a brick. -
I will give them a try. I happened to look online and quite a few places selling work stuff and had boots but I would really need to try them on. I will check out the places that you mentioned.

Is there anywhere I might find wellington boots or similar in a Western size in Bangkok?

https://www.leonardo.com/en/press-release-detail/-/detail/06-09-2023-leonardo-statement-on-aaib-formal-report Note "AAIB report has no recommended actions for Leonardo The AAIB has not directed any Recommended Actions to Leonardo. The AAIB Final Report rightly concludes that Leonardo complied with all regulatory requirements in both the design and manufacture of the AW169. " I would have thought if Leonardo were at fault then there would have been recommended actions. I am a little surprised that the fault was not found by the operator during routine maintenance. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I also read in a report that no recommendation were made to Leonardo which I found odd. What you attached was a quote from from a third party and not the actual crash investigation report so may be out of context. I was searching for something definitive but haven't found anthing yet. I will keep digging.
