"T" I also have a DNR paper given to my Thai Dr and signed by my wife. I've already survived a quad bypass 14 yrs ago and bowel "C" in 2018. Who knows what the future can bring.I'm 73 so I'm in the happy hour of life anyways. I'm no so sure I want my life in pallative care prolonged as long as possible though. Sent to you from (heavens waiting room) 555

Arrived full time in "04" for the hedonistic lifestyle. I got that and more. I married the lady who took care of me for 2 full years while I recovered from "C" It's a payback. The marriage to me will allow her to receive a gov't survivors pension for life when I'm gone. Not a whole lot but she won't be forced to work and besides she has her own house in the village. One regret was not making the effort to learn the language. I was working overseas a lot so that's my excuse. Smartest thing I did was buy a house in "07" so I'll always have a roof over my head.

Ya, he's 71 and retired and has probably lived in the same Villa for 30 years.A miracle was performed when they found this mastermind. TIT absolutely nothing will come of this because its mostly Hiso,s who got the land. They'll boot off and arrest a couple old mushroom pickers for the press release.

I transfer via Wise from my CIBC acct twice a month.($1500) Just before month end and the 1st. I select the INTERAC option.I always receive the money to Kbank 20 minutes later.Only one time last month did it take overnight. The fee also has risen lately but still under $20 as opposed to the CIBC $60+ rip off previously. I get a good ex rate and am very happy with them so far.

"the government hospital charging 250,000 for the last 24 hours before you died' I'm trying to avoid that happening.I gave my Dr the signed DNR forms to place in my file. I'm a 73 yo C survivor with a 14 yo quad bypass. I'd just hate to see my wife's inheritance stolen by some greedy hospital and my last day/s.

I've discovered that also. If I have a big breakfast I'll have on of those with a boiled egg for an early dinner. They also have lab crab and salmon varieties but I stick with the chicken caesar

kk, you are 100% correct.The people/citizens did not vote this mass immigration thats going on. Merkel started it all I believe. The Canada I grew up in is long gone...I'm glad I left 2 decades ago because I wouldn't fit in very well there. There's no going back from all this. Once they're in the system they'll never leave. The politicians are to blame thru virtue signalling.

When I worked O&G in Iran I usually had a couple days in DBX at each end of the hitch.Tons of p4p in some areas.I wouldn't want to live there though>Sharia Law< Spent some time at the Irish Pub compound...lovely place. You could buy gold wafers etc from a vending machine on one of the upper floors of the Burj Mia Khalifa. Great place to blow out the pipes after 6 weeks offshore. Mind you I was living in Pattaya at the time ,so...

JG,Eh? 555, anyway thanks so much, I like your interpretation of this word salad they love to produce (gov't) Like everyone else I'm just hoping it mostly affects the 'other guy"

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I'm beginning to feel a little better about this whole debacle. Cheers

Interesting. I always struggle with legal jargon, whats your take? Two of my pensions are gov't and one is private (work related) I'd appreciate your opinion...

Yes, whenever a venue was suggested in my past the very 1st consideration was "does it have a bar" or can I bring my own ?

Prior to my NR5 ruling CRA withheld the standard 25% tax on Canadian income (pensions) as a non resident.Yes nothing to do with LOS but I'm concerned TRD will be taxing my monthly remittance in spite of the fact CRA does not. Waiting game.

There is also a Schedule 217 involved here. " Form NR5, Application by a Non‑Resident of Canada for a Reduction in the Amount of Non‑Resident Tax Required to be Withheld" This is what I did.

Yes to all 4 of my statements. I'm beginning to believe that you're correct in that the Thai tax folks would only be interested in how much I bring into LOS...

My Thai assets are less but nonetheless up there. I've had my wife and Dr (Thai) sign and acknowledge my DNR Papers/forms. I'm 73 and survived C and quad bypass surgeries. My ETNA insurance covers me from my chin up and my knees down because of the exclusions. I don't want my remaining assets blown away as a result of a week or 2 of ICU fees. It's been a hell of a ride...

AYG,I'm a Canuck non resident receiving pensions from Canada. There is a gov't form (NR5) you can file to have your income taxed as if you were resident.(based on worldwide income) I've filed for a few years now and have the official letter stating I pay "0" tax which I don't. I'm wondering how Somchai at TRC will react when I present my letter? I suppose wait and see because there are no precedents.

Over many years of buying stuff from Lazada I only got ripped off once. From a Russian vendor selling Samsung phones a bit cheaper than everyone else.6K gone and I blame myself for not doing due diligence. The red flags were there, no proper advert site, only contact to a personal number for bank details etc. Him insisting on a direct ATM deposit.I'm still kicking myself on that one.It won't happen again. A complaint to Lazada resulted in a "zero" response.They're probably still laughing about my issue...555 one born every minute they say,

"My Union defended our DBPS to the death. I'm very grateful, as are hundreds of my colleagues" Your situation sounds the sme as mine. At 25 I needed a job and it turned out to be a union shop. A lot of our disputes involved our DBPS, in not allowing the companies access to these funds. I'm grateful to the union leaders for preventing this.Like most I had no choice but to contribute via union dues. I quit after 30 years at 55yo.I have been collecting that pension for 19 years so far. I've met many non union workers over the years that come retirement age are given a watch or nothing at all but making the business owners wealthy. Love them or hate them,I've done well by them.

Sorry but I can't talk about this case or else I'd half to k--- you 555

Appears to these old eyes that half the forum are otherewise engaged on their cell phones

In my case both came to the party.Quadruple bypass @59. Colon "C" @ 67. Survived each , kind of, but a lifetime of (functional alcoholism) will do that to a bloke. I've tapped on the brakes @ 73 but no real regrets as I've nothing to compare it to. Enjoy life's little pleasures. What money I never spent on myself I spent on those who took care of me when I needed it most. Msg from "heavens waiting room"

I see in his future, an arm sling,neck brace,eye patch and let's throw in a wheelchair for good measure, oh and a face mask... Or some sealed lunch boxes for the judge in case they feel peckish.

I had the same issue...I changed the capacitor but it still didn't work. Took it to Somchais repar shop and he fixed it for 200 baht.I no longer repair fans.
