Watch "Faking it special" on Discovery+. Not once does it mention anything about abduction. Seems the parents always knew where their daughters were. Blame or ignorance? Either way the parents were wrong in their decision making.

All quoted as saying as such prior to Covid and the war in Ukraine. Get those negative aspects of the Economy and decision making out of the way and see what happens then.

Fines for what? She was in breach of immigration law. Nothing to do with the police.

Police Station?

Like I said, "might be lucky" especially if he leaves on the final day of the extension.

Border crossings generally don't keep up with work permit and extension of stay details. You might be lucky and, because your extension of stay is still valid in your passport, they may just stamp you out. The only issue might be your lack of tax payment receipts. I'd be inclined to go to the border ASAP and give it a go.

No need to. I'm quite capable of assessing yours and others' responses to all posts on this thread.

Don't need to be a mind reader to understand how you and a couple of others on here work.

I did not explain about witholding tax. That was someone else. I always paid my own tax at the end of the year. I go to Sam pa gorn between 1st January and 31st March. The only deduction from my salary was social security at 750 baht per month.

LMAO. Polls and sampling work. Until another poster shows they can be erroneous. Then there are suddenly "broader issues". You are wasting my time. I just spat my tea out laughing. I have to go and make another one now.

I have explained twice. Surely that is enough.

Teachers are contractors. They sign contracts each year. The last time I was at immigration to get an extension of stay I was sent to the revenue department to get stamps on my contract. I paid 1% of my total annual salary, as per the rules. Rules, I have to say, I was previously aware of. I read Thai and asked to see the rule in writing. The staff at revenue department duly obliged.

One person? I don't recall ever mentioning numbers. As I believe I have previously mentioned.

Having been a teacher in Thailand and never having been taxed this 3% by law, I would have to disagree with you. With regards to being a contractor, contracts attract duty and are taxed upon signing the contract. Not from salary. The rate is 1% of total annual renumeration.

No, they don't. They actually contradict your views. Remember you said " I'm in the UK. It is bleak". The structure of the sentence refers to the UK as a whole. The links you provide are generally based on averages and parts of the population and tge UK. My experiences refer to a part of the UK. I never suggested my experiences cover the UK as a whole, as yours have.

Not really. I have mentioned many times of my personal experiences. Never have I mentioned numbers. You debunked my experiences just because you didn't like them. Nothing to do with sample size. Had I said, "I saw a few people in the supermarket that appeared to be struggling financially. I believe they are choosing between heating and eating" you would have been all over it like a rash and commending me. However, because my experiences were the opposite, you immediately refused to believe.

If the majority were surveyed. I doubt they were

OK. Please do educate me. As far as I know, people are surveyed. Their responses then become data. Done.

No. I didn't say that. I guess you didn't read all of my post. The point I am making is that surveys consist of personal experiences. A surveyer asks a question and members of the public answer using personal experiences.

"Value as data". Data comes from the people. Polls, surveys and the like. Who's to know if what Transam saw is not part of a survey? See what I'm saying? The views you deem unconfirmable are part of the data you deem confirmable.

He is having tax deducted by his employers. Are they then forwarding those payments to revenue department? Due to the fact he does not have a tax ID, they have not asked him his personal details re marriage, kids, etc in order to calculate tax breaks, I eould suggest they are not forwarding them. Besides, there is no law to say one cannot go to the revenue department at end of tax year and pay outstanding tax oneself.

We're @transamto visit UK for an update, he would see things for himself, would he not? You suggest that by doing so will educate him as to the situation in UK. If he were then to post his observations on this forum, they would not be believed and be debunked as anecdotal. I'm confused. Come to the UK and see for yourself but don't post what you see as it will be deemed fictitious. ???? ???? ???? ????

I don't know. I tend to believe those that post. Why wouldn't I? However, that is not what I was writing about. You said I took exception to a post about "general" posts when in fact you questioned my "personal" posts. I believe that to be a varifiable inaccuracy.

Actually, you wrote this: "And don't you suggest that your personal reports are verifiable or have any evidentiary value." Notice the use of the word "personal"?

Nope. You are wrong again. It's not all about me, the same it is not about any individual on this forum. It's about discussion, giving ideas, opinions and thoughts. It's about discussing those thoughts and not calling people liars. If you want some tiling advice, never start in the corner. Start from the middle and work your way out
