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.

I hope the "Featured topics" title is a future prediction.

What a ridiculous question. What you're saying is that anyone who doesn't vote the same way as you is stupid. Far be it from me to suggest that you have a narcissistic personality disorder.

Woke? I refuse to be brainwashed by the lefties, so am careful what I watch. Mainly carefully selected documentaries.

In the UK if a pedestrian is stood waiting to cross, you must by law stop for them. In Thailand, you should cross anywhere BUT a zebra crossing, because even if someone stops for you, pound to a penny that another vehicle will ignore the light and pass him.

Never seen a more obvious stitch-up in a long time.

I think a person should be allowed to do what they want with their own property. Thailand, thankfully, is not the UK.

In my book thieving is worth jail time. If it happens too often a store owner can lose their livelihood. You are maybe too used to seeing shoplifters in the UK getting away without even a slap on the wrist and the cops there aren't bothered about it either.

Trump doesn't chicken out, least of all to that brain dead nincompoop Harris. He would cross the road for a fight normally, but only if he figures that he has some competition.
