  1. I see them every time I visit that area. You don't know they're Vietnamese until you speak to them in Thai, and they don't understand you.
  2. My partner, a pharmacist, is struggling to obtain test kits due to the recent surge in infections.
  3. A Woman of Bangkok by Jack Reynolds. The story is about a guy in Bangkok in the 1950s
  4. I heard that from a Pratumnak bar manager who called the police on Friday night! I live on Soi 6 Pratamnak Hill, and my local bar manager showed me a letter from the police saying they cannot sell alcohol on the 11th. Well, I can't read Thai, but she told me that's what it said
  5. My local bar on Soi 6 Pratumnak Hill also had a notice of no alcohol sales. The bar manager showed me the letter
  6. I'm just getting over type A Flu. At first, I thought I had a chest infection because the Covid and Flu tests were negative but antibiotics did not make me better. A second Covid and flu test was also negative but while I was having a nebulizer treatment the doctor told me I had flu and pointed to a very faint line next to type A. Antibiotics were binned in favour of Tamiflu and cough suppressants and I was feeling better within 24 hours.
  7. This is not correct. You can book an accompanied flight for elderly or disabled people. Airline staff will look after him from check-in to arrival. They look after everything but he will need a fit-to-fly certificate
  8. 1) Correct 2) Correct 3) Contact address for the first 24 hours because after this time there will be a TM30
  9. A complete novice. A fool and his money are soon parted. Insist the girl showers and while she is in there put all your valuables in the room safe and then join her in the shower
  10. It's a typical drunken brawl. Most punches don't land and more injuries occur from falling over
  11. A Thai woman taking advantage of a vulnerable farang! How very dare they! Never heard of such an accusation before 🤣 400k? he didn't own any property in Surrey then
  12. I found out the other day that the BTS station is aligned with where the new terminal is going to be built
  13. It is 180 days in any tax year. They do not have to be consecutive.
  14. Yes, this is a 'Man Bites Dog' story
  15. The biggest problem with EVs is the depreciation. The batteries start degrading from day one and somewhere between 5 and 8 years the batteries will need replacing, which costs more than the car is worth.
  16. As Cheryl suggested I go to an independent lab and pay. It's not expensive unless you want the more unusual tests. The results are same-day. The result sheet also supplies the healthy range for each test.
  17. A British company did it last year but for only a few seconds so I doubt it will become secret technology https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68233330
  18. I was told I was pre-type 2 diabetes so I bought a constant glucose monitor and wore it for 2 weeks. It tested my blood sugar every 3 minutes and sent the report to the app on my phone. I'm not pre-type 2 but it let me see which foods raise my blood sugar which I now avoid. I recommend you all get one. It was about 1500 baht
  19. Your 90-day reporting is cancelled when you leave and resets the day you re-enter with your permit. The re-entry permit is 1000 baht so it is not worth buying a multi-re-entry permit unless you are going to leave 4 times or more.
  20. If the money is already taxed in a country with a double taxation agreement then there is no liability so there is no need for a TIN or tax return. Extract from the Thailand Dept of Revenue website: C. Elimination of double taxation The focus of a DTA is the elimination of double taxation. Each DTA may prescribe different methods of elimination of double taxation of a person by the resident country: (1) Exemption method The country of residence does not tax the income which according to the DTA is taxed in the source country. However, if you are a tax resident and bring untaxed money onshore, earn money in Thailand, or have investments in Thailand, you are obliged to obtain a TIN and file a tax return. Any tax you have paid under a DTA can be used as a credit towards your liability here in Thailand.
  21. Disgraceful handling of this horrific affair by the Labour government but the Tories did nothing about it on their watch either.
  22. I get mine delivered from here https://britishop.com/product-tag/pie
  23. I downloaded PDFs but they wouldn't upload so printed them off and took photos which uploaded without any issues
  24. For the annual extension, my office (Nakhon Sawan) asks for my embassy/MFA certified translation of my UK marriage certificate. I had our marriage certificate legalised, translated, and then approved by the UK Embassy, so it wasn't a problem for me. We also have kor sor 22 which they were quite happy with 4 years ago but for the last 3 years they wanted a copy of the UK translated certificate as well. I had to return to the UK at short notice last year and couldn't renew my extension and had to obtain a new non O. I just used the kor sor 22 but your extension may be a different matter.
