  1. I made a visit 35 years ago and found it beautiful indeed but life on the very small islands cannot be easy (access to drinking water)

    What is paradise ?  When I realized a dream and visited Bora Bora 40 years ago I was surprised how bored the locals were in the only hotel of the island ...they all wanted to be in Paris while may-be all the Parisians wanted to be on Bora Bora

    Paradise is in our heart as the violent political struggles on the Maldives illustrate.

    If you come from the UK the "Pay tax in UK means no Tax in Thailand" agreement is dead. Was changed 2014 I believe, only limited parts can be taxed once, and that is by claiming a rebate of tax paid in Thailand from HMRC. However under Thai tax law 1) you need to be registered for Thai Tax, i.e. have a tax ID, and that is not mandatory even for Thais. 2) you have a personal allowance of 30,000 per year and taxable income up to 150,000 is currently exempt of tax.

    Sorry...your write "that is not mandatory even for Thais" ...but do you mean ...."that is mandatory even for Thais"

    Does this taxable income also apply to financial support to a Thai wife, which is required by law in case of extension for Non Imm O based on marriage?

    Hi Ubonjoe

     

    Thank you for a serious an precisely answer, I appreciate that.

     

    So there is no limits for how much shal be monthly income and how much min in bank ?

     

    That means that I must begin now to be able to proof the monthly income.

     

    Thank you again

     

     

     

    I am returning to "money in the bank" and I will keep it there year to year because tax authorities told me I must declare the previous monthly transfers of my pension  as income despite the fact there is an agreement to avoid double taxation between my country and Thailand.

  4. A person close to me suffers from cervical spondylosis which is an irreversible wear of the upper spine and the neck.

    She is prescribed by a neurologist since several years very tough medication such as Ultracet (and more than this)

    I am sure that for pain treatment the Thai traditional medicine has good alternatives.

    The problem is when calling for an appointment and asking for a doctor knowing about neurology the receptionist does not seem to understand this.

    Following leading hospital is not far : does anybody know if they have the name of a neurologist to be consulted?

    I would like to send maybe around 20,000 - 30,000 €uros into my Thai BKK Bank. Using Transferwise.

     

    There's any chance that they may block the funds and asking "the proof of sources", or someone get his account closed suddenly without any reasons ? (the money is legit, is my savings, but here in EU, they saw any large amount transfer as potential funds of terrorism or money-laundering & requesting proofs) I am not aware in Thailand if they act the same.

     

    And right, I saw they're coming as "International transfer" so it gonna count well right for the Immigration Bureau for extend the visa, it's ok even the sum are just send like little by little, like 2-3 k each transfer for the Immigration later ?

     

    I have only problems if I need to export some my money back home....I had to it in small amounts and to declare it was humanitarian aid for my family

    Hello.

     

    Does anyone have any news about the Pfizer or the AstraZeneca vaccine being available at a private hospital....and if so...when.

    Not the Sinovax.....but one of others?

    I expect to pay of course...

    Appreciate your help.

    one can suspect the Chinese government of many manipulations but not that they would allow distribution of an inferior vaccine which would damage not only their population but then also their economy

    Misleading heading. Most Thais think all foreigners shouldn't get a jab and a minority of Thais think they should pay. 

     

    As a Thai, I think all foreigners entering the country should be vaccinated but not those living here. 

     

    I think they should pay themselves. Those working will have health insurance. Those not working can afford it. 

    The question is what kind of vaccine ...Sinovac, Sputnik, etc..or AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna ???

     I have had a Lenovo All-In-One PC for about 3 or 4 years and it's a bit slow and clunky and I'm worried it might die on me, so rather than wait, thought I might buy a backup, another All-In-One, and saw this on Lazada and wonder if it might fit the bill. I really know very little about computers, so hoping I might get some opinions on this

    I am very happy with a HP DESKTOP AIO 24-DP0203D with 256 Solid State Disk for the operating system and a traditional HD of 1 Terabyte for the data....I paid less than 20,000 THB

    If is believed Iran was in compliance before Trump cause problem maybe Iran is not so wrong saying who need step back first.

    It was not "believed" but absolutely sure that Iran was in compliance....Don't forget  there were other partners in this deal :  the EU and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany....It was only Donald the Great who - pushed by his buddies (UAE, KSA and Israel) - decided that the deal had to be abandoned.

    This isn't something that can be diagnosed over the internet

     

    Too many possible causes

     

    May not  be "bloating" as such. Could be ascites (fluid accumulation) which in turn can have many causes, all pretty serious

     

    See a doctor

     

     

    This illustrates the importance of GP's with private clinics as they exist in the cities, towns and even villages of most of the EU member states...Here in Thailand the only solution for foreigners seems to go a a hospital where the patient is directly referred to a specialist and then becomes only a number.
