I apologise for my pedantism but "frig" is an act of sexual intercourse. The correct abbreviation of refrigerator is "FRIDGE".

Time to pay those traffic fines ... stop trashing them
chickenslegs replied to KhunLA's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
That would work "hopefully" - except that the driver will often pay an on-the-spot "fine" of 200/400 baht and go on his way. TiT, and I don't think it will change any time soon (unfortunately). -

James Hook. The loss of his hand is just a cruel irony. -
I need a long ride--out of Thailand
chickenslegs replied to Furioso's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
Good suggestion. https://aseannow.com/topic/1211660-honda-ct125-a-testing-ride-around-issan-and-the-north-of-thailand/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1278615-an-entertaining-tour-by-ct125/ -
I addressed my comment to DrJack. It was really a question about whether the account could be used. I know that joint accounts could be used years ago. The op said that she did not think it would be accepted, which is not the same as saying that she knew it wouldn't. Edit to add: It does appear that joint accounts can be used, but immigration will only recognize half the funds. https://www.legal.co.th/resources/visa-immigration-law/thailand-immigration-law/joint-bank-accounts-and-thai-retirement-visa-extension/

I am a UK pensioner living with a Thai wife and our 12-year-old daughter in Thailand. During 2023 I have been remitting 90 - 110kTHB each month into Thailand from my private pension. In addition I have been remitting 28kTHB each month into Thailand from my UK State pension, which I deposit into a fund for my daughter's education. UK income tax has been deducted from all my UK income. This year (2024) I will remit only the minimum amount to satisfy my extension of stay (65,000 THB). I will continue to invest the 28k into my daughter's education fund, but I will keep it in a UK savings account. My question to the experts is: If I pay for goods and services directly from my UK bank/credit union/building society (for school fees, household goods, wine, groceries, etc) will that be classed as assessable income? For example, I recently paid about 6000THB online for half a case of wine. The payment was made using Wise transfer from my UK account. Would this be classed as assessable income ?
