    They really didn't change anything, they just closed a loophole, as it applies to remittances.

    True, but they don't seen to have planned for closing the loophole. If they had there wouldn't be all this confusion and wildly different rules depending on where you live.

     

    A couple of weeks ago I read the UK Thai double taxation treaty. I can't remanded if it made complete sense though.  I seem to remember it cleared up some issues but not regarding state pension s.

    Maybe a mongoose. We saw one today near our hotel in Sarakham and maybe 3 others over the years. 

    And I wouldn't it one of these down my trousers. (Northern Brits joke)

    I've kept many ferrets as pets abs even some of those would be dangerous down there

    Is there anyone here, preferably who lives in Thailand, the rest of you may not really know about this. But I see from time to time here in Isaan, something that looks like a Ferret/Marten or Mink. but according to google, these animals are not here. Has anyone had a hunch or seen something similar, and maybe know what animal it could be??

     

    Thank you,

    I've not seen any of these, but I'll look out for them now.  I'm in Mahasarakham and someone has seen them here so I should be lucky.

    The thing is yes people are living a bit longer than 50 years ago......But hardly anyone is living to 100 and even by 90 the heard starts getting pretty thin with plenty of people not making it through their 80s....

     

    But the powers that be never tire of repeating that people are living a lot lot lot lot longer...

     

    They want badly to push the retirement age up to 70 every where...And who knows how high after that...

     

    They hate paying out retirement money...

     

     

     

     

    They don't seem to apply the same logic when life expectancy stagnates or falls though.

    I would far rather send to jail ALL the generals still hanging around who committed illegal military coups over the years, who actually DID commit crimes of treason by overthrowing legally elected governments, and who have NEVER been punished.

    Thaksin did protect the army from any responsibility for the deaths of innocent people during the Red Shirt protests in 2010, so maybe jail all of them.

    I don't know... Do you know.

    And I'm not concerned. If they are licenced in a foreign country  then ok.. 

    No I don't know, that's why I was asking. The reason being that the post you replied to suggested they could fly domestic flights in western countries. Not that that's a problem in itself, it's just a bit hypocritical if they want to stop foreign pilots flying domestic routes in Thailand whilst Thai pilots can do elsewhere.

    Also, we don't know how well those websites will work. Being already stressed out when travelling long-distance, I would not want to do this 'last minute' at the airport. Will there even be fast and free wifi at Arrival to do this while standing in line at the Immigration counter?

    I expect it will break down and they'll revert to paper forms. I seem to remember this happening with the online 90 day reporting when I last tried to use it. It wasn't just me either.
