Definitely one of your worst posts spider. Suggest you stick to commenting on Thailand, your opinions are usually quite sane.

He was smiling because he was saying to himself "I told you foisting that diversity hire on me would lose us the election!" Reading the posts from all you lefties this morning, I've yet to see one of you admit that the reason you lost so badly was that the American people are fed up with issues like mass-immigration, wokeism, foreign policy etc. Every one of you continues to slag off the majority of your country's voters calling them a dangerous threat to democracy, fascists, nazis, far right and many other derogatory names. Will you never learn? I suppose the rioting and looting will follow shortly, the idiots have already started protesting outside the US embassy in London.

You're never going to get the majority of the American people to agree with you by insulting them. Unfortunately, the left never look for the reasons that they were spanked in the election like the economy, mass-immigration, wokery etc, they always resort to name calling, just like kindergarten kids.

The temperament of a woman and the body and strength of a man is a dangerous combination in my opinion.

The main problem is that a lot of people already pay a full tax contribution to their home country and are rightly miffed about the possibility of being taxed twice. Something most people are financially unable to comply with. Many have a house and family here and don't like the possibility of having to spend half the year in another country, or worse leaving for good.

At the Jomtien tax office they thought I was a madman when I asked them for a tax number. "Why do you want to pay tax here when you already pay in the UK?" was their attitude. Despite a big effort on my part, I left there TINless.

They're probably members of a small right of centre group that objects to their liberal government letting every tom, dick and harry into the country. There was talk there of banning the AfD not so long ago. They'll end up as political just like the poor beggars in the UK who liked internet posts. The globalists are getting desperate, hope Pres Trump can start to fix things.

Ah yes, the mandatory "If you don't don't like it here go back to your own country" post of the day.

Yesss!

In my opinion, I reckon that the agreement between over 100 countries to share financial information to ensure that everyone pays tax to a country somewhere in the world who're part of the treaty doesn't mean that you'll be expected to pay tax to more than one country. Even without a DTA, if you're being taxed in UK, you shouldn't be taxed by the Thais. You'll have to prove it of course, but it would be immoral to expect someone to pay tax twice. Speaking of the DTA, I've been told that because I'm an ex UK government worker, I don't have to file a tax return here, as per the said agreement. Will my position still be the same? Seems that there are lots of questions, but so far no answers.

A short while ago when I changed my UK contact address, I received a form from my bank which I had to fill in and return on which I had to state who I was paying tax to. I had to give them my UK tax reference number and send a copy of my passport as proof of identity. It said that because of an agreement signed by a hundred countries, banks had to ensure that their customers paid tax to a country of residence, regardless of where. Thailand is one of the countries signed up to it. This is globalism at it's finest and anyone voting for a left wing government is only encouraging this. Take note all you spams intending to vote Democrat in the US election, don't whinge on here if the Thai tax people take you to the cleaners.

The democrats will riot whether they win or lose. It's their way, can't resist a bit of looting and violence.

Lots of lefties on here say that too. "You have the cheek not to think the same way as me? Garbage!"

The officer probably slapped him on the arm or cuffed his head, I doubt they were punches. The kid should be charged for riding a motorcycle whilst underage and having an illegal exhaust. Also, check out his tax and insurance. By the way, having your head cuffed by a copper was normal when I was a kid in Liverpool. Our crime? Playing football in the street.

The only ones to go on about Pattaya are those who've never been here, but are mad jealous of us that chose to live in the area. They'd love to come here, even for a brief visit, but their wives won't let them leave the boring location that they chose to dwell. I wish some of them would manage a holiday here, then maybe they'd stop complaining of the things that happen here, which also occur anywhere in the country where there is alcohol and late opening. Give me my lovely quiet abode just outside of Pattaya over most of the boring places I've visited in this country.

Why do the mods allow these "if you don't have the same political leaning as me you aren't a decent person" threads?

I always have a dream where I'm looking for a toilet, but when I find one something ridiculous happens, like the door falling off or someone banging on the door, which prevents me from peeing. After a few of these attempts I wake up and head for the toilet. It usually only happens when I'm bursting, most times I wake naturally for my bathroom trek.

Now that's like having jam on both sides. A strong intelligent leader of the free world and having more baht in my pocket.

After watching several Harris interviews, I'm amazed that President Trump isn't further ahead than the polls show. They really should have on-screen subtitles when she speaks.

See what I mean spider? You make some really intelligent posts and pick up lots of likes, then you stray into politics and spout absolute garbage. Strange.

I've seen crass behaviour from all sorts of people in this country, including Brits. However, we do appear to be everyone's whipping boy. Probably because we take criticism like gents, unlike most nationalities.

One good thing about driving here is that it teaches you to concentrate 100% of the time. No daydreaming.

Your posts are mainly commonsensical. Shame you occasionally stray into politics, then they tend to become nonsensical.

Noisy!

He didn't say they had.
