Judging by the face in the pic, I'd go for Russian.

So if I sent all my yearly living expenses from the UK direct to the wife's account here, it wouldn't be taxable? I can't see that being the case.

Got my last tattoo at 20-odd, I'm now 80 yoa. Better pack my bags.

I wonder how foreigners, who've been refused a TIN at their local tax office, will manage to declare their remittances?

I read on AN a few months back a lawyer advising that those exempt under the DTA need NOT file a return. As a British ex-government employee, I will take his advice.

I'm a decent-minded person and I haven't, nor has anyone that I know.

Musical instruments.

Where's that? It's not the case in Pattaya and surrounding district. There're a few mad tourists on bikes, but on the whole most are within the law, yet figure the most in spot checks. Can't say the same for the locals. Don't know who's at fault in this particular incident, nor does anyone else on here, but RIP to the lady.

Lazada or Shopee. Have had both Honda and Briggs and Stratton parts from them. My B and S Raptor mower is brilliant, it's the second B and S one I've owned here and will stick to them in future. They're also a lot cheaper than other brands.

What, no "I hate Trump" thread today? Has to be a first.

Speak for yourself!

Used to be the same when I lived in Jomtien years ago. It's why I moved out. Never stay near a beach in Thailand is my advice to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet. Mind you, because so many pool villas have been built around where I moved to in the Huay Yai/Phoenix Golf Course area, we now have bass-heavy music assailing us on weekends during the tourist season. It seems that there's no escape wherever you are in this part of Thailand.

One of your more stupid posts. When I was in the military many years ago, I served in some dodgy places and have received jabs for almost every disease under the sun. I had three Covid jabs and so far haven't been infected. I put this down to taking the advice of medically qualified experts rather than the nomarks on Asean Now Forums. Conspiracy theorists abound on here.

How many Republicans helped bring these cases? A handful I'll wager. This nonsense is all part of commie lawfare.

You kidding? No way would I want to wander about all day wearing a Hawaiian shirt, trousers at half-mast, a bootlace tie, belt with huge buckle, white socks and big black shiny shoes. All the while talking in a big loud voice. Have I missed anything from the qualifications for being a good spam?

Don't count your chickens. For many of us it worked originally, but for some reason, despite circumstances remaining unchanged, our reminders stopped and we started being rejected.

My last two online 90 days have been rejected despite being accepted for many years without question. My circumstances are exactly the same as when I first used the system and I haven't been out of the country, or even the province. When I asked the IO why, she said that the immigration computer had to be manned at the time as it doesn't store the applications. Being that I made at least a dozen attempts on both occasions, it seems unlikely that this was the case. I'll try again on the next due date, but don't hold out much hope of it working.

I live in a house on the edge of a golf course and because of the new resorts that have gone up around here, it's as noisy as the Jomtien condo where I used to live. I think my next big spend will be on double glazing and noise proofing the attic.

After many flights between Delhi and Heathrow via Dubai on the "Curry express", I'm relieved that I wasn't on this one.

A perfect spot for a mini roundabout/traffic island, if only the locals understood them. They dug the roundabouts up in Pattaya and installed light because there were too many accidents on them. Thais have no concept of the traffic from the right has priority rule. I don't know if it's even in the highway code here.

Whatever caused him to kick off, I'd say that this is an attack with a weapon. A belt with a buckle is a very handy weapon, I've seen it used in Liverpool during my younger days and it can cause some damage.

I use the house blue book plus a copy of my marriage cert. Seems to work. No good if you're single though.

Calling the huge majority of US voters "sheeple" is hardly going to attract people to your side of the fence. You should have learned from your Demorat leaders' drubbing that calling people names doesn't win you elections, whereas good policies like securing the border, reducing immigration, repatriating illegal migrants, improving law and order, supporting your foreign allies, stopping anti-semitism etc does.

I've been here for 18 years and (touch wood) it hasn't happened to me. I feel safer walking around downtown Pattaya late at night than I used to in the small town I last lived in the UK. Maybe I've said it before on here, but it was like Dodge City in the westerns on weekend evenings.

Good! Well done!! A life for a life, sounds like a fair swap to me. If only they'd carry it out, still, the threat is there.
