Not quite the last dot but I have read it was ratified in Jan of this year. I will try to find the article but don't hold your breath. Could be my age addled brain or lack thereof

Thanks for the response

On 29 October 2014, 51 jurisdictions (countries and dependent territories) signed a multilateral agreement to automatically exchange information on financial accounts based on the multilateral convention. As of 02 November 2017, 44 jurisdictions more joined the multilateral agreement, making 95 jurisdictions in total. This is the first ever agreement to exchange this type of information automatically. All previously signed agreements concerning exchange of information on tax matters assume that the information is exchanged on request, namely relating to a specific tax investigation, either criminal or civil. Signing the agreement on automatic information exchange is a huge step to address the issues of international tax avoidance and evasion.

The information will be exchanged between the jurisdictions that signed the agreement under a single global standard on an annual basis. 49 jurisdictions committed to start the information exchange by 2017, 53 jurisdictions more - by 2018. While singing the Convention itself means only commitment of a signing jurisdiction to provide administrative assistance to other signed jurisdictions in tax matters, the automatic exchange is going to be based on bilateral agreements and the EU framework. As of November 2017, out of 102 jurisdictions, 32 jurisdictions don't have bilateral agreements with other jurisdictions to either send or to receive the information, and 12 jurisdictions more don't have such agreements to send the information.

Hi

I'm thinking of coming to live in Thailand. I was told I needed to bring my correspondence from my home country tax office. 

Is this true?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps there are commercial organizations that handle this. 

Hi

I'm hoping to take 6 months off from my present accommodation (rented) and travel around. 

Is there some secure service that will hold on too my mail? This wail is largely from my bank overseas.

Thanks

Caught the bus on the R2 route from outside M Hotel heading towards the zoo. 20 baht. Was kicked off the bus at the end and had to catch another R2. Travelled via Chang Phuak to Wararot Market where I wanted to get off (the route continues) 20 baht. I presume there's no round trip, its end to end.

Buses are clean and comfortable. Air-conditioning effective. Drivers helpful. Just tell them where you want to get off and they will stop at the nearest halt. They accept a 20 baht note or you can feed coins into the machine.

All in all a pleasant experience, hope it survives.

Just had a thought. My luggage clears at CNX. Which means I have to go to the Customs Hall and I recall seeing a small liquor/cigarette stand. Thanks for the tip re King Power sealing the bag I'll check it out.

Hi

I'm transiting through Bangkok to Chiangmai. I cannot carry liquids into the cabin. Will I be able to access duty free at Chiangmai? I have been told that it's as cheap to buy in town but looking online a litre of Black Label Black costs B1320 at BKK duty-free and B1719 at Tops.

Advice appreciated

Any ideas as to how I could get my hands on this paper?

You taught me 2 things - Djvu and the existence of this fascinating paper by T Suthivan.

Terima Kaseh

I noticed this on my Mama pack - บิ๊กแพค. Sounds like 'big pack' which it was.

Pray tell, Where do you get curry crab?

Is everybody over this? Was there any outcome?

Many chefs left Hong Kong for Vancouver, Melbourne and Sydney when the Brits were leaving Hong Kong. As a result the Cantonese cuisine is superb in those cities. Sometimes the local produce adds to the experience. A case in point would be Vietnamese Pho in Australia with the excellent beef.

What did it cost you? Wouldn't buying a new appliance be cheaper?

Same in Perth, W.A. (Western Australia). The city runs a continuous free bus service, one service is East-West and the other North-South.

Tourist or commuter, it's free, keeps the city uncluttered with traffic and gets you to most places of interest and back to where you parked the car.

Buses all run on LPG, with a push-button service linked to satellite, which tells you when the next bus is coming in, usually 2 or 3 minutes..

Penang has a free service that circles Georgetown. Once every half hour if memory serves me.

Thank you gentlemen. I will have a wander and look for the MaeJo service.

Hi

Please could a TV member advise if there is a fixed songtheaw route into the city (Warorot Market) passing on Pa Tom Rd? I'd like to go to a place just north of where the SuperHighway crosses the Ping River.

Thanks

There is a hair salon I recently discovered that is very good. Coming from the city in the direction of JJ Market it is on the right side before you reach JJ Market (just next to where all the bars are). Can't recall the name just now but it is the only hair salon in that area and a rather large, busy shop. 80-120 THB for men's hair styling.

Half way up soi 2 Moon Muang is a barber that does a good job for me - 60 baht. About 30m past the Half Moon Bar on the opposite side of the soi.

Been using this guy as well for 12 years, mind you I get the bald man's buzz cut (no styling required). Also he is a top-notch human being!

Does he do a good job with a razor? A real (bald) man's cut

INMHO a person with diabetes may find borrowing from the Buddhist concept of not "clinging" a better way to keep the numbers down.

Not eating high carbohydrate and processed carbohydrate meals is more certain!

If you observe the posts in this thread you will notice a striving for now forbidden pleasures. People with diabetes have to move on, without any perceived suffering.

I heard it is going to be a 14 story condo and hotel.

Isn't Furama Hotel backing onto that plot and its more than 8 floors.
