I don't have your gift of all-knowing, cynical clairvoyance.

 

Everyone else in the universe but you thinks that giving money to charity is a good idea.

Nothing wrong with charity as long as it is going to those who really need it. As you appear to be the all knowing one, may I suggest you look a little closer to the use of the charity you give.

If I have read this correctly she is already in the UK. If not, Immigration may possibly ask to see her letter of introduction.

I saw a Thai guy riding a penny farthing on Rama 9 a couple of weeks ago.

He has since had to get off to spend a penny and only has farthing left.

Well I for one don't mind paying extra in taxes because I know it's helping people, I'm sure there's a lot of the silent majority who feels this way but won't express it 

And prey tell what else you do? Do you volunteer, giving your time to these scroungers? Do you donate personal funds to support the 'refugees'? If not, I suggest you get off your high horse and stop winding people up, for your own selfish entertainment.

Refugees are welcome in my books because we need to show compassion 💚

Yep, Great. Until you realise the cost @ multi millions per day of your taxpayer money!

So, you assume that they have "brains"?
Wrong assumption .....

Oh! Come on. There is at least one brain cell working round the clock, but it very exhausted. And today wasn't Lavaron Sangsnit's turn to get a visit.

Try to download but all in Thai language.

The language can be changed, but I cannot give details. My son did it but he had some difficulty for almost ten minutes, but got it in the end thank goodness,

Planning? Where did that spring from? Disorganised chaos is the order of the day, and has been for many many years. Before the Sky Train went up, Sukhamvit Road was 6 lanes of traffic, 5 north and 1 south in the mornings. Then sometime after lunch it was all change and became 5 south and one north. If that isn't mad, I don't know what is. The proverbial in a brewery is the only thing missing. Or is it?

Don't you mean 'kept stupid'?

Now how come I didn't think of that, I've been here long enough to know better

80% of the population are stupid and the other 20% live off them.

Evening All.

I have a UK Visa debit card which I can load up with Thai Baht at any time using the phone app. It can obviously be used to make purchases and in any ATM. It cannot be used to transfer cash to a Thai bank.

My question is, would it be classed as income as I am not physically transferring cash to Thailand?

My personal opinion is no, but this is Thailand, and we all know how things can be interpreted to suit the situation as they see it.

Will you change countries to save $215 a month?

$215=£180 approx To a UK pensioner, that can be a fair slice of their income.

I had both eyes done, a month apart, at Bangkok Hospital KK earlier this year.

80K for each eye, I am well pleased with the result.

I can guess, but I bet you wouldn't call a spade a spade if you fell over it in the dark!

When you pay peanuts there is only one kind of taker, hence this result.

That is fine and it is up to you - and anyone else can do the same if they wish.

But since you made that public announcement, let me say to you and everyone reading this, why that is very 'dangerous'.

 

Failure to lodge a tax return when lodging one is required, is a serious fine for each and every year, plus you must pay all backdated taxes they calculate, plus it involves backdated interest charged on any amounts deemed that should have been paid. It will involve your Passport being blocked to stop you leaving the country, can result in immediate detention, can result in criminal charges and Court appearances and jail time, and it can result in deportation for Expats.

Unlike most other things, were being 'caught' means a punishment of that occurence (like not wearing a helmet), not lodging tax returns and not paying income taxes, is an extremely harsh punishemnt - and they will go back over every year since 2024.

TRhis is not like staying illegally in the country (no Visa extensions etc.) and the information is available on the net.

 

If that is your plan over the next 3-5-10 years, then that is up to you - but now you know what the downsides are.

That is all I am doing mate - pointing out things that I am aware of - learning things I am not aware of - contributing.

I get the impression you like black paint? However, each to their own.
