Sorry, I have to disappoint you as I understood what you said.

I am not confused by the fact you used tones instead of tons or tonnes, I guess AI has some way to go when it comes to spellcheckers. Tones are what the Thai language has.

'Tones are what the Thai language has.' Every language has tones, even English!

A definite case of, 'Should I rush the rush job you want rushing, or rush the rush job I was rushing when you rushed in'?

Yeah that’s right and the experience of 99.9% of the expats here. The poster made a comment about needing a pink id for collecting SSI on an expat forum without stating that it is for Thai SSI. Whether from the US Europe or Antarctica, whatever it is you’re trying to convey is irrelevant. 

It appears anger management is required?

I’m a US citizen collecting SSI, never been asked for the pink id. 

That is your personal experience. You are also assuming the commenter you refer to is also American? Could it not be possible the SS referred to is not from the US?

once every 5 years yippee, i heard that Pattaya transport office don't accept it, residence cert required

I heard!? Its a good idea to verify the info before putting thing in writing. The grape vine is always growing.

Sodium Hypochlorite.  I.e., bleach.

 

Yes, Hypochlorite is a bleach, but is comes in different strengths. For full strength it has to be 14 grains per gallon (UK)

Also bleach is NOT a stain remover, it is an optical whitener.

I do believe the Indian guy has the quote the wrong way round? Surely it should be 'No Honey, No Money'?

A simple question  from a simple person. What do you think?

Whoever you are, trying to bate me is a complete waste of your time.

I asked the question so as to get an answer, which I got, no thanks to you.

It may surprise you, but education is built on asking questions, so I have to assume you were 'educated in Thailand', where questions are frowned upon.

You didn't use the word complaint, nor did I say you did.

You did ask the following question (Why should Pattaya be singled out? It's the same all over the country.) I simply explained it for you.

I'm sorry you had trouble understanding, and felt the need to stir things up.

Why should Pattaya be singled out?

Because the thread is on the Pattaya forum and is about one particular hazard there that has injured 10 tourists.

Posters have subsequently decided to share their experiences about all sorts of things, in many other places, which makes your complaint even more puzzling.

I do believe you should go back and very carefully re-read my original post. I did not include 'Its the same all over the country'. AND, you were the one to add the word "Complaint", in your reply.

Old Croc appears to be a very apt self description, wouldn't you say?

One simple question. Is my whole income in the UK to be assessed for Thai tax, or only the amount I remit to my Thai bank?

It was a simple request, where is the complaint. Please point out the complaint in my question, or have you found a big wooden spoon?

Ban it all. Such horrible poison. 

Not so sure about that, I have drunk a fair few pints in my time and I'm still here to tell the tail.

Genuine Thai attitude. So it makes a lot of noise, it still works. 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'!

Section 38 of the Immigration Act.

 

That's because you've probably already got a TM30 on file.

That is you making an assumption, which is incorrect.

What papers, what reporting? Am I missing something, I just present my passport on entry.

How about a TM47 for an extension or a TM7 for 90 day? Or is your Immigration office not applying the rules?

Really clever to brag about it on an open forum.

Why not tell which other laws you have broken.

I visit Immigration on the required dates for extensions and 90 day reports. I hand over the required papers each time. If a TM 30 was required on these occasions, is not up to the IO to make it known to me that a TM30 is required? Also, the papers for ones reason for reporting are checked by an IO on entry to ensure all is correct. I also know this person makes it known to the world if anything is not correct. So, as you seem to be all knowing, you tell me which law I am breaking. Otherwise......

Then he does not qualify to be here on a retirement extension and should stay at home, no doubt no medical insurance either. At 81 he would just become a burden on other people for medical costs, or another go fund me. Needs to start acting responsibly, it's not too late!

Nothing like a half empty glass! I can imagine you being a bundle of laughs at your local?

I was in the same situation but, at least in the Jomtien Immigration Office, you won't get a Residence Certificate nowadays without having done a valid TM30. (Exactly what constitutes 'valid' is a matter of debate, and individual interpretation by the IO's, it seems.) You need a Residence Certificate, of course, to buy a car or motorbike, but also to renew your driving licence, unless you have a yellow book or some other proof of address that will satisfy the DLT. Other Immigration Offices may be more relaxed about the TM30 than Jomtien is, perhaps you're lucky in that respect.

Perhaps its that I have a Yellow Book and have for many years? It can't be that the rules don't apply to me however, I have never been asked for one and I am not going to tempt fate and ask why not.

Tell that to Immigration, you may be surprised.

I don't tell immigration any more then is requested. If they don't ask, I ain't telling.

If you've previously filed a TM30 and have a receipt stapled in the back of your passport, you're OK.
If you haven't already filed a TM30, then you need to.

Why? I have been living in Thailand for almost 20 years and have never filed a TM30.
