Damm! All this war and peace for 7 days!

Shame! All that performance enhancing tasty chemicals not available!

Come on now! Be sensible! 15000 is nowhere near enough.

Plus a wife and children!

Food, clothing, School fees, transport, visas, medical, telephones, TV, air con, electric, water, plus not living so badly.

Get real! At least 25k.

You can buy picture hooks etc in homemade and often in Big C, but usually they are useless as like said they cannot get through concrete.

The peel on off 3M sticker hangers I've used, but they are unreliable and sometimes unstuck and they DO take paint off with them sometimes! Especially  if the paint on the wall has a poor bond.

I've found easiest is drill a hole, then stick a little filler in it, push in the thin steel concrete pins you can buy, wait to set and all okay, and look okay afterwards if removed.

I have lived up CM twice and each time i found it lousy during the crop burning season , i am now here Surin and even here its a job to see any stars at night, even back in the UK the air seems much better than here.

If you look at air quality indexes most places in the UK are far better than Thailand.  See

Agoda shows some heavy bookings over new years.  Agoda and similar sites probably have better facts than TAT or the great hooha. 

Just a sales tactic, to get you to book at an over inflated price!!

He signed onto the gateway independently <deleted> !! How many times does he have to say this ?

Is he sure he actually signed on the gateway?    HMRC.Gov.uk maybe is not the correct address...

1st December in Daily Telegraph

Gareth Lloyd, head of digital security at HMRC, said: "HMRC never contacts customers who have a tax charge via email - we always send a letter through the post.

"If you receive an email claiming to be from HMRC, please send it to [email protected] and then delete it permanently. We can, and do, close these websites down, and do all we can to ensure taxpayers stay safe online by working with law enforcement agencies around the world to target the criminals behind these scams."

HMRC strongly advises customers who receive such an email to check the advice published at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/security/index.htm where examples of these fake emails are listed.

People should not click on websites or links contained in suspicious emails or open attachments. Anyone who has answered one of these emails should forward the email and disclosed details to [email protected].

I will put odds on it, that the poster clicked on the email sent to him and what purports to be HMRC is not, I doubt that HMRC would have emailed him this at all, but I guess you never know!!

Thank you for your replies.

 

My bank here in Thailand has withheld a few thousand baht in tax that I could reclaim, but i do not know if it is worth the hassle.

 

To Pdavies99: My bank in Europe has made it clear that they want this information or "end our relationship". I think it is easier for me to get a Tax id than finding another bank (not easily done from Thailand).

 

Up to you, but for myself and friends from UK, France, Germany etc they have not closed any accounts... it is just EU regulations.

Personally I have a Tax ID, from memory you need proof of address, ie a bill will suffice, photocopy of all pages (yes, all) of passport, two photos, and your bank details, then at the Tax Office (Jomtien, next to the Court offices) you complete an application etc. To get the tax back you need to ask your Thai bank for a tax certificate for each account (free), you can claim back if I remember correctly 3 years, then once the claim is made they will send you a cheque refund.  It is actually quite simple and the tax office are very helpful, they will complete the forms for you as well.  Easy as that!!

we are talking one way here

Yes, I understand, I often have to use one ways as my business route requires this sometimes, all I was suggesting is that these prices are just advertisements and in general you can never get this flight! But like I said good luck trying!

The only reason to get a Thailand Tax ID is when you are legally working in Thailand or wish to reclaim tax on Thai savings etc.

If a Bank in Europe request this info, your response is that you do not work in Thailand and that the Thailand authorities do not issue Tax ID to retirees etc. That is generally sufficient.

im looking at skyscanner for next week and they are showing the cheapest at £284 and eurowings at £310 and matrix.itasoftware is showing the cheapest at £291 on the 10th from Man, if the £205 is still available then i would book it, it aint gonna get cheaper, cheapest euro is showing on their site is - 

• Hand luggage (8 kg)
• Booking changes: For a surcharge
• Cancellation: Not available
• Refundable: taxes and fees

I fly 4-6 times a year UK - Asia and I can tell you, you will never get this price, its just an advertising ploy!!   Sometimes you can get lucky I agree, and I have booked for £420 return, but never ever this time of the year.

If you really want porn etc, then set up an account on dropbox or Icloud and keep on the web!!  That way unless someone knows your username and password they can never find you so easily!!

If you are worried about IP address set up the account at a Internet shop. Be warned though, "illegal porn" etc can always be traced to the actual computer accessing the sites!!

I'm asking for a good friend needing a job:

He has lived in Pattaya for about 15 years and has run several popular Go Go Bars and similar, unfortunately the last place the owner passed away and the place closed.   (He also ran pubs in the UK)

He is 52 years old, UK Passport, fit and competent.  (No Thai family hangers on)

So if anyone has a job going in Pattaya or even elsewhere in Thailand etc, please help him get his life together.

Thanks.

I don’t take medication, just a vitamin b-12 injection every few months.  I’m healthier without a stomach.  It’s just a lifestyle change to eat smaller meals.  It took 4-5 months for my intestines to adapt.  

Well done!! It took me two years and that was just for a tube gastrectomy!  (after Stomach cancer caused in part by H.Bacter Pylori!)

Nonsense.  Have the test interpreted by another doctor if there is a question. Or look yourself.  I looked at the ultrasound while they were doing it.  Not really difficult. 

You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but to spout "nonsense" is naive!

Look at Lopburi 3 comments " it should be done by someone who is experienced and knows what they are seeing" 

My comments were based on my experiences and many comments in Thai Visa forum about Thai Hospitals and misdiagnosing and charging for treatment not needed.

Have a great happy day.

The issue in Thailand such as what you are looking for is not the equipment, it's having the experience to correctly understand the results! 

Most medical tests I personally find are wrongly diagnosed in Thailand and usually end up in unnecessary expense and treatment.

hello, I am wondering if someone without stomach has to take medicine forever or if the body can really adapt to a life without stomach easily ?

thank you.

You must eat very small bland meals / amounts and not too acidic, you will nearly always need to take a drug for acid reflux such as Omeprazole plus Vitamin B12 injections.

Some people unfortunately can only manage a liquid diet.

A full gastrectomy is only effected as a last resort, even stomach cancer does not require this. 

Usually a tube gastrectomy is effected, leaving as you might imagine a thin stomach, which will given time slowly expand sufficiently to eat small meals without issues.

My Thai friends go to one of the several tiny watch stores on Soi Buakhao right near Central Road.  I personally don't know about reputation but these stores have been there awhile and will be cheap. 

Yes, the smaller one is the better I think.  right on the T junction.
