Exercise is for keeping fit but your weight is controlled by your diet.

I only had £1500 so 3k is more than enough. Return flight is not necessary. I did my e-visa non O in August so this is not old experience. I think the online application actually says £10,000 but I know that is a typo as I've had 3 non O visas in the last 18 months and never shown more than £1500. Good luck.

This question pops up all the time for all countries. When I first did it I uploaded my passport but I've since found out that any official document that confirms your address in your home country will do. A driving licence, bank statement, inland revenue document etc

Intensive care in a private hospital. My friend caught his finger in a gate so his Thai GF took him to a local private hospital as he has travel insurance. His finger was sorted and they wanted to keep him in over night - he declined and paid his 15,400 baht bill. They told him to return every day for the dressing to be changed at a cost of 1,500 baht but I took him to a local clinic who did it for 200 baht. So those prices do not surprise me if she's in a private clinic.

......don't forget the beer. Drinking for 5 hours he must've been legless ????

The first advert after your post????

That should read 'deriving untaxed income from abroad (and bringing onshore to Thailand)'. Income that has already been taxed under double taxation agreements is unchanged and if that is your only source of income in Thailand then your situation is unchanged too.

If it was flu you would not be posting on here but you would be in bed thinking you were dying and then wishing you would die. That is flu. You have a cold or mild upper respiratory chest infection.

Hold my beer! ????

I live in Nakhonsawan where the Naan and Ping rivers confluence to create the Chao Phraya and I've never seen it so low at this time of year - so release away!

Nobody can answer this question as it all depends on how your local office interpret the rules. There is lots of advice on here about how their local office work but that doesn't help you unless the experience is from the same immigration office you use. Just call your local office and and ask them.

The first link just determines who or is not a permanent resident and the second link is about tax liabilities for residents and non residents who earn money in Thailand. So registering with the tax man is reliant on whether you earn any money in Thailand or not. If tourists earn money in Thailand they are not tourists so there is never a need for tourists to register with the tax man no matter how long they stay. Long term residents who live on their pensions or other income where the tax is paid in their home country and Thailand has a double taxation agreement are under no obligation to register with the Thai Tax authorities. If you are no longer tax resident in your home country then you are obliged to pay tax in the country you are resident in. A lot of people ceased to be tax resident in their home country and have been living in Thailand tax free but the recent update to the tax rules is designed to close this loop hole.

So we can make our own mind up ????

An onward/return ticket within the initial 30 days is an official requirement for visa-exempt entries. I've been asked twice by my airline in 20 years. Immigration never ask but many airlines do.

HSBC/First Direct and Natwest are not closing accounts or simply use a Wise account.

What I stated is exactly what the article says. My quote "then your untaxed earnings from abroad will now be subject to tax no matter when you bring them into Thailand." I never said all your untaxed earning will be subject to tax but only the ones you bring into Thailand, whether it's the year you earn them or later years. They are trying to close a loop hole.

I had the same experience with Bangkok Bank - they would not let me open a second account so I went elsewhere. Immigration told me I couldn't use a certificate of residence to open a bank account so I told them it was for a driving licence. I paid my 500 baht (the certificates are supposed to be free) and used it to open a bank account with Kasikorn.

There has been an official announcement. Currently if you have untaxed income from abroad and you don't bring it on shore to Thailand in the year you earn it then in future years it was exempt from tax. The new Departmental Instruction No. Por 161/2566 (“DI No. 161/2566”) changes that and if you are resident in Thailand, that is stay more than 180 days in a year, then your untaxed earnings from abroad will now be subject to tax no matter when you bring them into Thailand. This does NOT affect income you have already been taxed on in your home country if Thailand has a double taxation agreement. Going forward we may need to prove the money we are bringing in has already been taxed which will be a real pain. International accountants KMPG have supplied their take on it. https://kpmg.com/th/en/home/insights/2023/09/th-tax-news-flash-issue-145.html?fbclid=IwAR1kEo_QrnHc2SH10G16TJICnIdzRh4f5L5wUFol_n4tDO7b5h6ZGqp4oE8

His wife is very rich

From my experience with my spinal surgery and ongoing lumbar back pain I can completely concur with Sheryl's advice. I also have had good success with mckenzie exercises - google it. chok dee

UK's economy is no worse than the rest of Europe. Germany, Holland, Greece and Ireland are all currently in recession but don't let that get in the way of your remoaner obsession.

Not true. The age of legal consent is 15 if he/she is in her own home when he/she consents or if outside the parents give consent. Otherwise it is 18

...and he still doesn't know what he wants to do when he leaves school ????

I'm afraid you only have one option and that is to obtain an emergency travel document from your embassy and most can only be used once and only enroute to your home country. You will then have to renew your passport and obtain the correct visa to return to Thailand.

The bride must be a virgin to demand a large dowry. If she has been married before then maybe a small one but if she has children then the family should pay you. That's how a lawyer explained it to me some 20 years ago. I think the same advice is on Siam Legal's website.
