All mine have condensation lines incorporated into the line set on the left of the picture, I highly doubt that that has been forgotten, though it may be plugged.

the lead character in novels by H. Rider Haggard, and film adaptations She: A History of Adventure, 1886 Ayesha (novel), 1905 Wisdom's Daughter, 1923 She (1925 film) She (1935 film) She (1965 film)

I started with a cheap 1500 one from Lazada it worked well, it still does, but have graduated to a much higher powered one that really does the business, I have added a 30~50 meter pipe so the roofs can be done easily this is the second one. under is the first one under the wall on the left is still wet, the pressure washer is in the picture before after

SWMBO has baby blue on the clearstory, with dark blue in the clearstory ceiling, the rest of that room has one wall grey, another green, another yellow the last wall is a light red and the ceiling is white, it sounds too much but with the biggest wall 10 meters by 4 meters and the clearstory about 3 meters above that it works surprisingly well, the room is about 10 by 9 by 4, there are no support pillars.

You clearly missed the point that a minor can sign a contract, with the consent if a legal guardian. That rather upsets your argument doesn’t it?

You really don’t understand the law or the detail if a gift contract, the contract makes the gift Sin Suan Tua which Is property acquired by either spouse during marriage through a will or gift, just voiding the contract doesn’t magically make it Sin Somros and the contract is a onetime thing so denying it after the fact has no meaning. It is not a continuing contract. If either party wants to void it then they just don’t sign it and nothing changes hands, no gift is given or received.

You misunderstand the situation all gifts in Thailand require proof that it is a gift to limit taxation on them. Hence the need for a gift contract which establishes that a a gift has been given. Other countries have other requirements, the TRD requires that proof it be incontrovertible hence the need for a contract. You also misunderstand the law on minors signing a contract. Yes it is true that a minor cannot sign sui juris and that if they do the contract is void, however they can sign with a legal representative’s consent. I don’t pretend to know the limitations of who can be the legal representative but I’m sure any competent Thai lawyer can advise, though it’s unlikely that a parent giving a gift to a minor could qualify as the required legal representative. You are also missing the point that gift law in Thailand is comprehensive and a money gift is only one kind that is covered.

What do you mean by “HMRS” it certainly isn’t the Thai Revenue Department nor is it the U.K. His Majesties Revenue and Customs

Legal opinion is that each gift requires an individual contract. For confirmation ask any Thai practicing lawyer.

Good luck with that. Unless your better equipped than I am, it’s not going to look good

You probably do not know that there are several, possibly many, different ways that LEDs can be powered. Some of those power supplies (usually called drivers) can be controlled by a triac dimmer some of those need a leading edge others a trailing edge circuit. This means that some LEDs can be controlled by the standard 90 baht dimmer others need different architectures, still others can’t be dimmed. The short answer is go to a shop, a specialist is best, buy LEDs that are designed to be dimmed and a dimmer designed for those LEDs, also buy several spares as you have no guarantee that the same ones will be available later.

The answer is that virtually all ceiling can lights use led tape so that the bigger the light the brighter it will be. But that is only true if you don’t do anything. However if your light has the correct power supply (driver) you can reduce the light by adding a capacitor into the circuit or by cutting off 1 resistor. I don’t have the knowledge to modify a driver however I do have a 27W screw in fitting that I have added a capacitor to so it is now probably about 9w and will have a lifetime of probably 200,000 hours or more. If that is beyond you then if you can find a capable plaster board ceiling tech (there are many good ones in Thailand ) then they can cut out the existing holes, patch them then after repainting the ceiling cut the required 2” holes for 5w fittings

You really don’t seem to understand the change and it is very very small. No regulations were void and only you seem to say they were. Por 161 eliminated the time limit (1 year) on assess-ability of overseas income remitted to Thailand (the earned in the previous year being tax free) Por 162 grandfathered the pre 1/1/2014 situation so that no income gained before 2024 became taxable that Por 161 would otherwise have made taxable So Por 162 did not void anything it just limited the change in Por 161 to post 1/1/2024 And Por 161 did not void anything it just eliminated the time limit on assessable income. Those are the ONLY changes made and as you can see they are very small. Now the effects of those small (mostly Por 161) changes are quite big and the implications extensive but that is a totally different can of worms.

So only a report of an interview not an actual TRD clarification. Now while the report may accurately reflect the TRD hopes it is nothing to do with the supposed “TRD provides their long promised explanations and detailed advice” that is claimed to exist. That is in a TRD publication Por 162 and was published in late 2023 as a clarification of Por 161. There has been no reliable report FROM the TRD itself or additional information FROM the TRD itself that suggests that they are going to do any more than in virtually all previous years which is to publish the 2023 tax forms in November/December, probably with guidance documents that virtually mirror previous years. Sure there are many people claiming, or hoping for much more but as the Scottish proverb goes If wishes were horses, beggars would ride you may want the TRD to do your job for you but there will be flocks of self propelled flying porcini’s before that happens IMNSHO. as a clarification, it is your job to interpret the information provided by the TRD, that includes your country specific DTA/DTC, decide if you have sufficient remitted assessable funds to need to fill in a tax form and and pay the required tax. Then at some future point that can be up to 2034/5 they may require you to substantiate your tax form or lack of a tax form

I remember they once said they would clarify I don’t recall anything from the TRD itself. I would be very interested to know/see that, I don’t say it didn’t happen, just that if it did I don’t see it. There have been others making those kinds of statements but nothing I have seen from an official TRD source.

Banks in Thailand are progressively phasing out PC use as they have to make the banking as hack proof as possible and PCs specially windows but even Mac’s are not immune. The end result is that they are focused on mobile devices as they have a greater pool of developers and are in general more secure, so it’s going to be case of which banks wish to split their resources and for how long.

Did you notice the rather ominous wording at the bottom

This will probably very much depend upon the TRDs intentions for the last, and subsequent possible, change. There is significant speculation that the intention was to target wealthy Thai tax avoiders and that foreigners are minor collateral damage. If that is true, then, unless those foreigners using the gift possibility to avoid tax start shouting from the rooftops that they are avoiding Thai tax and so making the TRD loose face, then it is quite possible, even likely, that nothing will change. You seem to forget that foreign tax payers in Thailand who have to do their taxes themselves are a tiny fraction of the tax base

From HMRC There are numerous and extensive changes required to become Non-Dom and merely “buying a condo in Thailand, being in a relationship with a Thai national, owning a vehicle in Thailand, having Thai bank accounts, a long term Thai visa, utility bills, community ties etc etc, and not having returned to the UK for several years‘ are not nearly enough by themselves. As I said it was at least 8 years, possibly longer, before I was able to become Non-Dom. There are a number of different statuses Non-Dom is probably the most difficult to achieve and easiest to loose.

Oh you poor logically correct fool. HMRC Wants as much tax from everyone as the possibly can, to nobody’s surprise. The rules for a British born citizen (or naturalised citizen) who has family and or property and or investments and or income in the U.K. make becoming a Non-Dom as difficult as HMRC possibly can. Make it The rules are so complex that you probably need expert advice to first become Non-Dom and then to stay Non-Dom. As I recall it was over 8 years before I qualified and that was seen as remarkably short. I am not going to summarise the situations than can revoke your Non-Dom status or those that enable you to become Non-Dom because they are much more difficult than the really simple Thai tax laws and you know how difficult everyone thinks they are. Is it possible to become a U.K. Non-Dom? Yes it is, I am. However for many, no it is not, because they don’t want to sever the ties and virtually totally divorce them selves from the U.K. that is required.

You have seriously underestimated the amount you can transfer without paying tax. Also if you are married to your partner it is 20 million, you will need the correct paperwork for any gift.

HMRC states So if your several years is more than 5, that is one way to be non-dom However Then you are domiciled. HMRC has many more conditions that make you lose your Non-Dom status even if you live permanently overseas. My tax accountant in the U.K. makes it clear that just regular or long visits could make me domiciled again.

Your xenophobia is really raging! You seem to have little to no knowledge of the Thai legal system. There are numerous examples of people going to the court system and being impartially judged by the courts. There are no normal cases that have been reported where there was corruption involved in the court. There are certainly numerous cases where pretty pieces of paper avoided going to court but once in the court it is reportedly scrupulously fair. For sure if you have millions of dollars to throw into the fight you are likely to have a good outcome, the majority don’t and can rely on the objectivity of the justices.

There are a couple of good reviews and YouTube tests that address both the original and copies of the Wago connectors, AFIR the failure point of all connectors was at sustained currents of 5 to ten times the suggested maximum. None of the connectors themselves failed and the point at which the housings started failing was at several minutes into massive overload current, at which point the wire insulation had also failed. So certainly the really cheap, non wago style connectors aren’t suitable for anything much over 3A but the wago copies are holding strong at over 50A sustained draw, so good for virtually any application.
