I have seen a chart on here of the Thai DTA's with all countries, and the UK DTA strangely and unfairly, I think, does not cover state pensions when it does cover government employee pensions and private pensions.

Good on them! Putin is the most dangerous man in the World, even more so than Trump...555.

No. Even if you stay out one night and return on day 180, You're still in Thailand for 180 days and therefore liable for tax. You must stay out for at least two nights to lose a day. Canada is just being logical because 6 months, i.e., half a year is 183 days not 180.

Why not? If he is happy to collude with you on this

Can anyone recommend a good compact air purifier please?

Make sure they understand which you want to be tested for or you will end up paying for tests you do not need. Get a price list like mine if you can, and point out which ones you want.

I get blood tests every 2 months in my local government hospital for cholesterol etc. I see on the price list PSA test but not the others. But you can ask for the price for others. I recently asked for the price for a vitamin d test, she looked it up online and it was 900 thb. There is an extra 200 service charge and a bit more if you want to see the doctor. But you don't have to see a doctor. The price for me is in the last column. Very fast service in and out in about 15 minutes. Go back a couple of hours later to get the results. Allow longer if you must register.

What is a usafruct? 555... Almost poetic that eh? 555

If you stay in a hotel for one or more nights when you fly in before going to NR they do a TM30 for you. That releases you from the obligation to report to your IO within 24 hours. Just go and register there at your convenience and if they ask tell them you just arrived at your home the day before after having a holiday in Bangkok or wherever you stayed. You can also then register for the online TM30 service in your or your wife's name with their help at the same time. I don't arrive at the address and IO where my retirement extension is registered every Autumn until about a month after I arrive in Thailand. My landlord just tells them I arrived the day before and we never had a problem with this. Good luck!

If you know anyone coming from or going to India, tadalafil is cheap as chips in the pharmacies at Delhi airport.

Diving is probably listed as a dangerous activity and would not be covered by insurance.

WTF has this got to do with Thailand?

I much prefer that intonation as its as if asking your opinion therefore addressing you as an equal rather than talking down to you with a Hollywood movie hero ego-laden arrogant intonation which is what usually comes over when speaking with US citizens especially the men. That's why it's so hard to like them ....even the nice ones.

1) Maybe they don't understand your Thai, so they just agree with you and say yes. Keep it as simple as possible"Ron Mai"? or "Aow Ron krap" pointing at the grill. They are usually willing to reheat grilled items. Hold your hand over it to check if it is hot. Don't pay for it until you're sure it's hot/warm. If cold in the bag hand it back. 2) They will say anything to make a sale. 3) or as someone else has said they probably just don't care.
