    OK, thank you; not for my kitchen then.

    I, too, thought about the move to Philippines. Like you, age was a deterrent. I think there is room for an enterprising Philippino firm to set up a bogus address and communicate with their thousands of British retirees by email to convince DWP that you have moved.

    Thank you.

    I should make clear there is a difference between State Pension and Government Pension; the latter is not taxable thanks to an agreement between UK & T/land.
  5. mikebell
    Me too. I have a UK state pension (after 44 years of service), frozen for 20 years; about 15,500 per MONTH! Luckily I have a Government Pension (teachers/police/firemen) which is Index linked. This is exempt from Thai tax.

    This forum has been going downhill since Rooster's humorous column ceased. My solution, is me. Pay me to write a weekly column of satire about Thai life and its struggle with ex-pats. The 3rd (as yet unfinished) book of my Thai trilogy is entitled 'Noodles At Noon' and explains how useless the Thai Army is and how Laos could invade and completely overrun this land in one hour.

    Can you smoke it?

    If Pattaya Plod are involved, it would be more like the Kwaistone Cops movie.

    What's a tanto knife and do I need one in the kitchen?

    And don't expect any help from the police.

    SOP for Pattaya cops. Police work? DIY. Look at the roads for 'evidence' - you won't find any cops policing the daily slaughter until AFTER the event.
  12. mikebell
    More victims of Plod's laissez-faire policy on the roads. They only ever work AFTER an event: then they'll consult CCTV to find who was responsible. If they left their office & toured the streets they would ticket multiple offenders till the message about safety, got through.

    They've spent millions on the Railway road; they have a bi-annual contract to rip up chunks and put in bigger drains and it's still no better than when I first used it 20 years ago.

    It cuts down the commute to work with A/C available throughout the three hour working day.

    Pattaya Police's reputation grows exponentially with every story.
