Yet millions of gullible Americans, and even people on this website really believe Trump would be a better president than President Biden, including the gop members of the senate and the house.
That is the desperation level that the gop has reached. A new lower level of belief and desperation in the swamp.
They actually want a convicted criminal to become the potus.

I'd like to know a little more about this thug - especially his criminal record from his home country
Why?
It is not as though you can do anything about it, if you did have his criminal record.

If UK pensions?
Government / Military pensions only taxable in the UK under the UK Thai DTA (unless you have Thai Nationality)
check they are on the list
https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343000
https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343040
State NI and Private pensions are not in the DTA, but if the private pension is taxed already in the UK under PAYE probably not much of an issue.
Thank you.

Are they on the lists he provided and as such exempt? Plus in order to give a full and exact answer, we would need to know the precise amounts involved since this can vary the answer.
As main contributor to this thread, I have an obligation not to mislead and to provide only factual answers, rather than guess or assume anything, and those things I have done.
Lastly, let me be perfectly clear once again that this thread, the simple tax guide and our involvement in trying to help readers and answer their questions, where possible, is voluntary and does not represent professional tax advice. We are perfectly happy to try and help where ever we can but but we are less happy about being chastised because somebody thinks we should have done more research, watched a particular video or given a better answer!
The question that I asked was, though I probably didn't put it that well, was basically does it or should it, make any difference if the money I am transferring to Thailand is last years money, or in my case this years money as it arrives in my Wise bank account.
I do understand that my military pension is non taxable (non assessible) in Thailand, so would I need to the Thai RD?
I have a print that I made showing the breakdown of the dates and amounts of my 3 pensions transferred to my BBK branch in Kamphaeng Phet for last year and I can probably do another 5 years back if required.
Mike, if you need those figures for last year, I can PM them to you.

The simple answer is don't go into a café that allows dogs.

Out of curiosity will I have to pay more or less Thai income tax on my Government pension, my military pension and my company pension as I bring in my pensions every month that they get paid?
I am asking for me and not for a friend,
Any information will be gratefully received with thanks.

I was so glad that I used an English clock to teach my son how to tell the time, and NOT a clock with Thai numbers.

I think as leader of the free world, it's time for Biden to put American boots on the ground in Ukraine.
And who will take the responsibility when the body bags start coming back to the USA?
Who will take the responsibility when that war mongering manic starts throwing nuclear weapons about?
Putin won't give a monkeys. HE will be safe in his bunker under the Kremlin. It won't bother him if 100 or 200 million Russians die. How many millions of other, innocent people will die because of him?
HE will have won the war to nothing.

3 hours ago, impulse said:You conveniently left out the quote from Erik Prince, former SEAL and founder of Blackwater.
We need to bring that war to a close because all Ukraine is doing right now is destroying itself demographically. They’re chewing up the next generation of manpower that they really can’t really replace right now.
One more time, here's the CNN map of the region from last February (2023).
Tell me, what gains has Ukraine made in the past year that justify the tens of thousands of lives and $ tens of billions of treasure squandered? It's time to stop the killing and start the rebuilding. It'll be an ugly peace, but there is no other viable end point other than forever war.
The Ukraine is NOT chewing ITSELF up.
That is being solely done by Russia who for some reason, YOU seem to support whole heartedly.

A curse on the American Putin loving maga fascists who are blocking vitally needed military aid to Ukraine in their brave defense against the murdeeoous aggression of expansionist Russia.
A good curse would be
"May the fleas of a million camels (a thousand camels would not be enough) infest the multiple crotches of the gop, their fat so called leader, and ALL the magadontians who support them, and may all their arms be to short to scratch them".
And may the war-mongering Putin, his war-mongering cabinet, and all his war-mongering supporters be infested with a thousand leeches each.

I have spent the last hour digging around the internet, not Lazada, and there are 3 companies in Bangkok, one that does casings here
http://www.botthailand.com/casing/natural-casing.html
also here
https://www.desertcart.co.th/brand/sausage%20maker
and they sell sausage casings and sausage sausage stuffers here
and the other company does a lot of different seasonings.
https://www.ubuy.co.th/en/productuk/3VMO5XYYW-premium-pork-sausage-mix
I had to do a fair bit of back and forward work searching for odd bits.
I have a George Foreman meat grinder that I bought in NZ years ago with a sausage stuffer attachment and I used to have/still have/but I have NO idea where it is now, separate sausage stuffer that I used a few years ago. I can't even remember if it was a vertical or a horizontal stuffer, push down or crank handle.
The problem that I found in making sausages is unless you are making them commercially or you really really like sausages, is that after the first 5 kg or so that you eat you get bored with them. It is also a lot of work for a small quantity.
-
I am thinking about making sausages again here in Thailand.
Does anybody know where I can order online, seasonings and sausage skins?
I used to order that stuff from a company in the UK called Weschenfelder and get a mate to hand carry it. I sent them an email last month asking if they could post stuff and they don't send offshore now, as the cost of shipping it is 4 or 5 times the price of the items.
I used to get the skins from Makro, but they came in a 1kg frozen lump of various lengths and all tangled together.

Can’t advise on installation of the flashing lights, sorry.
I bought it at an independent store on the ground floor of Big C in Nittayo Road, Udon Thani. I had looked elsewhere but this particular shop stocked a very good selection of trikes.
There were 3 versions of the X6-3: 500w, 600w plus the version I bought, 700w. It has 3 forward gears and reverse, disc brakes, full set of lights, and indicators, built in alarm and masses of storage space.
The 600w version @ 16,900฿ was attractive but on the day I went to buy, the more potent-looking 700w had appeared. I was able to test both models and the 700w had a more comfortable seat (the 600w sloped back), which was wider and upright. Important for me.
In 1st gear it reaches 28kph (17.4mph), in 2nd 38kph (23.6mph), and in 3rd 48kph (29.8mph).
It’s a great vehicle, I looked around for a year before finding this one.
I too am in my seventies (mid).
Thank you for the update. I am just in the early days of looking at the moment. Sadly I will need a very long extension cord to keep it charged up to get it home as I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet about 800 km away.
Locally there is only 1 short uphill bit close to the house, and the rest of the road to the big village is fairly flat.

Of course you must remember why the RAF and it's members are called "crabfats" and "Royal April Fools" don't you?
They were formed on 1 April 1918 (April Fools Day to the UK) and all crabfats are dressed in a dull grey uniform and only move sideways!
PS; Greetings from an ex fish head!
PPS; Chocks away!
In the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s our uniforms used to be a blue hairy one for working, and a better blue one for No 1 dress. In the early 1960s I was issued KD in Bahrain which I think was post war stock (just) and some decent KD in Singapore in the late 60s and early 70s. In Germany I was issued with combat kit and even NBC kit and a gas mask.
I have no idea what sort of uniform they wear now.
It is nice to know that we have spread our web around the world, even to the backwaters of Thailand.

It’s a Lion X6-3, cost 19,900฿.
It already comes with factory fitted LED lights and they can be switched on anytime. The headlight, however, will also be on.
I too have back trouble and am very grateful for this set of wheels.3 hours ago, Stanton681 said:Thank you for the information. The led lights I was thinking about are the flashing ones you around on cars etc but they are 12v, and the trike has a 48v battery. Not a big or insolvable problem. The Lion website is terrible to read.
Where did you buy it?
There are some other models for sale , at higher prices, naturally, including 4 wheel models and come with a roof to keep most of the rain off, (if it ever does rain this year).

Let me know when you are ready to cease deflecting.
Well I was going to apologise for bein snappy earlier but I am STILL busy doing my evening exercises that I do most nights for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and if you believe that is indulgence then good for you.
I can't be bothered with petty people.
BTW at 79, and after 2 blackouts last year, I exercise to keep on living.
Enjoy your life. I know that I do.

He had Secret Service agents present at Mar A Lago. I have had to perform work in areas where the secret service provided protection. No one should have been able to access the area where Trump had the documents stored, without the secret service allowing it.
Even after having a background investigation for a top secret clearance with SCI access, two back ground investigations as a federal agent for two different security clearances, it was difficult to impossible for me to complete some work in areas where presidents and ex presidents were present. This even when I had an additional background investigation to work places such as democrat and republican conventions, I would be denied access to areas and I was supposed to be there.
Can you suggest a way that someone from the general public would have had access to any classified documents in Trump's residence, when the secret service was present when that member of the public was not supposed to be there?And what is the job of the secret agents there?
To protect Trump?
To protect the property?
To protect the documents Trump claim that he never had.
It seems from the reports that the documents were dumped in a toilet at Mar-a-Lago.
Is it the task of the secret service agents to follow every single person working at Mar-a Lago and every single person who visits Trump 24/7, even to the extent of going to the toilet with them and waiting while they completed their business, then escorting them back again?
What about when the public were to be there, when staff were present and guests were invited.
Did the secret service even know that the documents were even there? If they did know, then why did they not report it up through the chain of command?

True, and ever since, Palestinians have sworn to wipe out Israel. They have never accepted the 1947 UN mandate which established the state of Israel.
Trying to reason with Palestinians on this subject is like trying to reason with a rabid dog.
The rabid dog being Netanyahu and the Zionists.

2 hours ago, seajae said:big difference between Israel and the terrorists is that idf isnt hiding behind the civillian population while attacking anyone, these terrorists are basically cowards, they try to avoid being injured/killed by attacking unarmed civillians then proclaiming how great they are to kill children, women and old people. The when the idf goes after them they hide behind non combatants while shooting at the idf, then they claim the idf is killing the civillians that they are using as shields when returning fire, maybe if these gutless terrorists actually fought without using their own people as shields there would be a lot less deaths but they refuse to do so, instead they use schools & hospitals as their bases, the money sent by the rest of the world that is supposed to be used for their people is instead used to make their tunnels and buy weapons. The land has always been Israels for centuries as well so trying to claim it as theirs has been showe time & again as being total BS. The problem is based on their own religious beliefs that promotes exactly what they are doing, raping and killing, while I may not like the idea of so many dying it falls directly at the terrorists feet, if they were "real" men they would not be acting as cowardly as they are, these people are beneath contempt and I hope hamas is totally destroyed along with the other muslim terrorsit groups that use any possible reason to rape and kill so they can get their jollies and show everyone how big they think their appendage is, "look mum & dad, I killed these unarmed women & children after rapiong them, arent I great"
So YOU believe that it is right and proper for the cuddly friendly IDF to slaughter thousand of unarmed men, women, children and babies. That the IDF has the right to destroy infrastructure, to destroy hospitals, to steal land and settle on it, to deny the inhabitants food, water, electricity, medical supplies but scream racism etc if other posters DARE to disagree.
That everybody in the world who is opposed to what Netanyahu and his war cabinet is wrong and only Netanyahu , his Zionist war cabinet and his supporters are right.
If I believe that everything I have written is correct (and IMHO it is) I have only pity and sorrow that you feel this way..
Belay that. I save my pity and sorrow for the innocent people who are slaughtered every day.
For you and the others like you, I feel only scorn.
