  1. Anyone has experience with Hainan Airlines from Bangkok to Europe via Beijing? Thanks Felt
  2. Will it also include foreigners with tax resident status to deduct 15,000, - on taxable income or...? Felt
  3. Excuse me but do I hear that if a foreigner has money in a regular savings account in Bangkok Bank, the money is locked🤯. I myself have a significant amount in a regular savings account but have never used any of it to extend a marriage / retirement visa. But after following this tread for a while its looks like Bangkok Bank is the not bank to use anymore just out of principle and I have thought and will move my savings to Krungsri where I have two accounts but not really been in a hurry and hopefully it's not as Bkk bank freeze any foreign account because it could possibly be a visa extension account? Thanks Felt
  4. The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia has been a long-standing conflict. When France colonized Cambodia in 1863, they drew a border for the country. This has been constantly disputed by Thailand. The conflict flares up from time to time. This time the conflict has escalated after a Cambodian soldier was killed on May 28 at the border. Thailand has accused Cambodia of laying new mines that injured Thai soldiers. Internal political conditions in Thailand and Cambodia are often the reason for the flare-ups and the border dispute is being used to mobilize nationalist feelings in both countries. In this case, it is particularly political circumstances on the Thai side that may explain the escalation. Background The border is particularly contentious because of the Preah Vihear Temple, which is located in the area. This is an ancient temple located on a mountain ledge near the border between Thailand and Cambodia. The Preah Vihear Temple, which Thais call Phra Viharn, has significance both as a cultural symbol and a religious place of worship for people on both sides of the border. The temple was built in the 12th century during the Khmer Empire, the ancestors of today's Cambodians. However, the area has been under both Cambodian and Thai control throughout history. – Back then, there were no nation-states, but dynamic borders. It was the Europeans who were concerned with the map, and what is mine and what is yours, who brought the border with them during the colonial era. In 1962, the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the temple belongs to Cambodia, but the conflict flared up again in 2008 when Cambodia applied to have Preah Vihear registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  5. Has anyone experienced home visits from immigration after extending their Retirement visa? I thought it was only when extending a spouse visa, but an acquaintance had heard otherwise! Thanks Felt
  6. 🙏 Great, Thanks Felt
  7. Online Booking – ประชาชื่น MRI
  8. I have ordered Ais Playbox Family (I use AIs Internet already) and would like to know if anyone know if any of the channels I get in the package have movies and in English language! The package includes Warner Bros, Rock entertainment, Rock Action, CN, CNN, BBC news, Discovery, sports 1 and in addition a few more unknown to me. Thanks Felt
  9. When people are bored, it is primarily with their own selves that they are bored.😉 Eric Hoffer
  10. Its 15-year old following the links below. Driving licence in Thailand - Wikipedia Thai Driving License Age Requirements - Thai Drivers License - TDLS
  11. Do I understand correctly then that in practice the surviving parent can with the law in hand distribute the inheritance to who and the way they want to full-blood brothers / sisters to the deceased? Thanks again Felt
  12. Thank you for replying but this is not about me but the legal age for a teenager to drive🙂 Felt
  13. What is the current legal age for a Thai teenager to get a driver's license and ride a motorbike? The law says 15 years old but then the engine must be under 90cc. However most motorbikes are 100, 110, 125cc!😕 Thanks Felt
  14. No because this in Thailand and regarding Thai`s inherit Thais so thought maybe they have their own law / way with inheritance Felt
  15. Does anyone know the order of inheritance in Thailand? Is the surviving parent first in line when an adult child passes away? If so, but the surviving parent has no interest in the inheritance and understandably not want any inheritance from their own child. How is the inheritance then divided between the siblings of the deceased? Thanks Felt
  16. Not to hijack the thread, but for pension visa extension, it is then correct to think that only STM2 and STM9 are applicable? Thanks Felt
  17. Thanks for replying and yes but is that wrong? Btw, I already pay taxes here on around 8-900K annually and that is actually enough. However, I don't think about giving away the money 2-4 months before applying for a visa extension but already this year. In my home country there is no inheritance tax or gift tax on what is given to a spouse and from what I understand there is no tax on gifts under 10 or is it 20 million to a spouse in Thailand so the better half should not be taxed on the amount so if she gives me the money 5-6 months later then why should I as a spouse be taxed here. Or to put it differently I know that the better half before any transfer from me already has about Thb 4-500,000, - (we keep the finances separate) in savings as of today so, she could actually give me the money today and the rest I have on savings here already. Is a Thai taxed for giving his/her spouse a gift of money under a taxable certain amount as mentioned above? Thanks Felt
  18. If I understand the above correctly and if using 800k deposited for retirement extension that money could with other words be transferred from my wife to me 2 months before application for extension (now 4 months following the rule change at Bangkok Bank) Is that correct? Thanks Felt
  19. Go to Krungsri Biz Online and then click on "How to apply" and follow instructions. Felt
  20. Ok so why did I fill out that form online👴🤭Anyway I just call Krungsri and no need to go to bank branch was answer.👍 Felt
  21. 🤔How did you first around get the OTP? As mentioned in my previous post above I got a temporarily password by sms and an email with my previous username from Krungsri online after filling in documents on Krungsri Biz online!😕 Felt
