Don't get it, with 500K you are unlikely to stay longer than the 179 days, that would make you tax resident. And, you'd need to show more that that to get a non-O extension for retirement.

I forgot to insert 500K 'per year'. Sorry about that.

If you are over 65 years old and do not transfer more than 500K into Thailand (Given all the allowances), then you are not required to pay tax in Thailand. In fact you do not have to register at the tax office, as they are not interested in the extra work that would generate given the number of foreigners in the country.

Hope it doesn't. It would be a travesty. 🤣🤩

For whom?

It would solve a few problems!

you did that entirely of your own accord!

 

bob.

My replies were very, very few and far between. Stop kidding yourself.

The true answer is in the question.The smallest actor I can remember was Alan Ladd. He had to stand on boxes when up close to other people on set. I think Shetland ponies were used for his horse scenes.

IF you are indeed leaving, please do not post from afar. The drivel we have all had to put up with since your first post has been more than excruciating. Replying has been like feeding a deep hole with crap, and you certainly fed well on it. Good bye, I do hope it doesn't look very good looking back!

Do you deny people have religious and spiritual experiences? For those who have, it is very real and true. 

 

Nature is complex, full of controversy 

Can't deny it, having never experienced it. For those who have, each to their own.

God exists in the minds of men. Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.

2nd BiB from right: Who took the cookies?!

3rd one: Not me!

You could be right, it looks like a cardboard box in front of him. However, my first thought was, he is catching flies.

I am going shopping tomorrow (Tues) and then I am intent on staying in until the mayhem is well and truly over. For all those who do not like Songkran, you have my sympathies.

I was told it was required on one occasion, so when I then went for the 90 day I had the update. However, I was not asked for it and did not offer. Never bothered since.

What could possibly go wrong.. 

The answer to that question is, 'what could possibly go right'?

More likely to attack a kid or an old person if they got the chance than lay down their life for you, we see plenty of the former but next to nothing of the latter. So you are claiming people are no better than dogs? Dog owners probably.

Not claiming at all that people are no better than dogs, more the other way about. Most THAI people only keep a dog as an alarm, they have no idea of a dogs true worth. As said, look after a dog and the dog will look after you. But obviously your narrow minded view cannot grasp this fact. So, I have to assume, like most Thai's you are scared of dogs because you don't understand them.

If dogs are so great and mans best friend why do they need training at all? is it because without training they are even more nasty, violent and badly behaved? You dont have to train a cat so why train a dog if it's a domesticated animal. They are pathetically dependent pests and by nature very unpleasant to have around.

Not such a very nice thing to say about an animal that would lay down its life without hesitation, had you treated it as a friend and looked after it. But then, think also about your own first ten years of life? How do you think you would have developed without someone to train and care for you? Or did they!!!???

So would you be if not looked after properly and trained from an early age.☺️

It also has a secret microphone and video camera so they can check in on you to make sure you are safe and best of all streams your entire stay to a "secure" server.

 

"secure" server.   Would that be a trolley dolly?😀

Just because the UK has a 45% tax band, doesn't mean that all UK income is taxed at that rate. For example, if you import UK funds that were taxed in the UK at say 20% and the cumulative corresponding Thai tax for that category of income turns out to be 25%, you may pay an additional 5% tax in Thailand. If however your income is taxed at 45%, chances are you will not pay extra. 

Ok. I can state quite categorically that the amount of tax you pay in the UK has no baring on the amount of tax you 'could' pay in Thailand. The amount of tax to pay in Thailand is calculated on the amount of Thai Baht you transfer each year to a Thai bank. There is also a very great possibility that if one is over 65 years of age, you may pay nothing. That of course would depend on the amount transferred.

The super glue sounds good to me. If you starve the wart of air it will usually dry up and fall out. Knives or razors should be a real No No.
