About 60 years ago, my then wife had been shopping in town and returned with full bags of items. "Where's John," I asked. The look of shock was w picture, but no camera phones back then. She rushed off back into town and found him asleep in the pram outside the pharmacy.

I don't have a defeatist attitude and never gave time a thought when I moved here. What's your excuse??!!

Nothing against the US, but some of the people who live there? Like any other country, there are advantages and then there are people.

"Yesterday, The Frenchman woke up to discover that all of his cash disappeared and he requested to check the hotel’s CCTV footage and saw the sex worker leaving the room with the cash in hand." Definitely a cash in hand job, then!

20Mbs/100GB per month. Dtac B2090 post included. Shopee. Expires 30/11/2568

59.25B for my last transfer of 40.000B to repay a loan to a friend into a BKK bank using Revolut.

So. If the majority believe the earth is round like a ball, how do you explain a spirit level!? Just saying🤔

The BKK BOOK code I was looking for is FTT I believe? However, thanks to all for trying.

I started out with nothing, and still have most of it left. No point flaunting wealth I don't have, I might get robbed!

"Are non Thai's eligible?" No reason not to be. I applied for and obtained an IDP almost six years ago, when I was intent on a visit to the UK on a Thai Driving License. On hiring a car I was not asked for the IDP, but I had it just in case.

This is not a NEW LAW! It has been in existence since the 1970s to my knowledge, but only this year been fully implemented.

A personal opinion only, but I believe the 800/400K for Imm requirements should not be included in a tax assessment. It is after all, a forced requirement, as in, No Money, No Visa.

You may well be correct, but will the TRD insist on either Thai or English only, written statements as do Immigration? This again will cause all kinds of problems for some. Getting translations and then having it verified by MoFA in BKK. That on its own can be a real hassle and possibly expensive?

If you have an address in the UK it is possible to have an A/C with Nationwide, mobile number also required. However, they will ask if you are registered for Tax in any other country. It is then up to you what you tell them, whether they can check or not I am not sure.

A two way street. The EU are doing much the same with Brits who have settled in the EU.

In the BBK Bank Book ALL transactions have a code as to where or how the money arrived/departed. ALL banks have a similar means of tracking transactions. Perhaps I didn't make my request clear, for which I apologise.

No, but thanks anyway.

Hi All. Can someone please tell me the international payment code into a Bangkok bank A/C? I need to send cash to my son via my Revolut A/C, but am no where near a bank until next week. By this time other transactions will take place, but would like to check and know what I am looking for. TIA for your help.

A similar experience in Phuket back in 1986. I was highly suspicious and never gave anything. The following year he was there again, still making gains from the gullible.

Cut out the discrimination and charge Thai's 300/400Baht, same as foreigners. Problem solved.

Just take life as it comes. Some you win, some you lose. Don't take life so seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!

Quite agree, but pigs don't like to share.

And where is the supporting data for your claim!!!!????

The Duchy of Lancaster is owned by the Royal Family. Income from that all that property is controlled by the government, and they return an amount each quarter or yearly to the Royal family. Is that a tax!!?? The Duke of Cornwall Prince William, pays tax on all the income he earns from that Duchy. I do believe its called INCOME TAX!? I would be very well off if I could gain just one months worth of the taxes the Royal Family pay.

Prove it!
