Is the breath test available anywhere?

I think the gentleman who said, its about if you speak the language is most spot on. If You don't speak Thai, you do not count. If you know the language, you are almost like a real human.

I have had very high bp before after week long benders but other than anxiety and feeling hungover, I did not have any symptoms and would have had no idea my bp was so high did I not have a monitor at home.

 

Anyway, I researched and found this article which put my mind at rest to some extent.  It suggests in the absence of any other symptoms, the best treatment can actually be nothing.

Edit:  I know this isn't really relevant in your case but thought it might be of interest to some people.

I don't think its possible for any doctor to not know about how to handle a hypertensive crisis. Its very, very basic and no you cant live with hypertensive crisis more than a few hours. The damage to the organs is top severe.

No.  Improper/inadequate medical care, from the sound of it.

Yes but why? To destroy our brains, shorten our lives to cash in insurance money? Seizure treatment is very god business for a hospital. Just on my "accident" they made more than 200 000 baht. If they had treated my hypertensive crisis properly they would not make that money. If i had a more serous seizure they could have made miljons of baht.

I was hospitalized a few years ago with blood pressure over 220 in systolic for 10+ hours. The treatment was basically none. I know the risks involved and what the proper treatment should be (blood pressure medicine with short halflife within minutes). I had symtoms of seizure during this time but no checkup if i really had a seizure. To my surprise a friend of mine had the same experience and we are both well covered by insurance. Myself I hade a hard time a few years after this, but is now better. My friend has just got a seizure, 4 years after this "treatment" witch is nor surprising. Blod pressure this high opens the blood/brain barrier and small particles  in the blood can enter the brain and cause horrible effects.

So my question is, any one else have this experience or heard of it?

He lost 16 kg, was denied medicine for his condition. The Swedish state department says this is just one of many similar cases.

Being on an overstay, the police would be the last address to show up. Why did your friend not inform the Immigration when he's in the hospital? Or let the hospital manage that? Even when a relative or gf would show up at Immigration with proof, there wouldn't have been a problem. 

He was not my friend, and i guess he was to sick to think about such matters and as a tourist not informed. I'm sure he wold let the hospital manage that, had they asked him.

Whatever you do, don't ask the police for help. A heartsick swede did that after being hospitalized for heart failure so long that his visa expired. He was perhaps confused when released from the hospital, and went to the police. They trowed him in monkeyhouse without medicine and he almost died. 

Landlord Software?

Sorry if of topic, but i'm looking for an easy system to collect the water and electric readings and then create the monthly invoices. Ant tip?

 

Anyone know how to buy this PPV livestream in Thailand?

I have the same problem. I pay for 200, and i get 10. When i call it gets back to 200, and then after a day or two back to 10 again. Perhaps the sell our capacity on the "black market" or perhaps they have oversell and keep moving the capacity around. The 10 is to neat number, and i have still my 100 in upload. Probably some kind of corruption is going on.

Than'x but that was a thousand times more information than i need, with a lot of broken links and with around 75 PDF files in Thai only.

Hello,

I'm trying to find out what the requirement are (and the practice) for accounting in Thailand for SME. In what form is book keeping required? Is what we call "real bookkeeping" with double Italian bookkeeping with both balance and result accounts done daily or just a "diary" what happened daily without any account plan involved or something between? I'm asking because i'm looking into the Thai-market to create a computer program for this task.

Numerous reports to tourist-police, normal police and CityHall have already been made by several people. My friend who is Thai belies that the people staying in "the small jungle" have some agreement with the landlord "i think they pay big money to stay there". We also have other indication that the landlord is involved, and of course his or hers identity remains a mystery.

I just rent, but would hate to loose the deposit and the time involved in moving.

We have a problem since three month in a otherwise very safe and comfortable area (Prathumnak, Pattaya). This is like the best area of Pattaya with big, luxury condos and houses but still some small land areas with jungle like this problematic spot ( 12.911573°, 100.857492°). Some (not anymore)homeless people have start living on this land, and almost every night they burn (probably stolen) cables, drink a lot, fight a lot and now they got electricity and play annoying music from the morning until the night. Many reports to the police, to city hall have been filed but no effect. The worst is the black smell from the burning plastic witch have scared some people to move out. Any suggestions of what to do?

Ok the first step is "Offer and acceptance", or as You call it "Quotation". Then the customer send an order. Lets just clear the definitions:

(1) An invoice is a request for payment.
(2) A receipt is a confirmation of a payment.
(3) A "vat invoice" is a confirmation of either a payment or the transfer of ownership, what ever comes first?

In order to receive a payment you first have to request the payment and that is done by a invoice. Perhaps its possible to do that without an invoice but would it be practical? If you not want to use an invoice to inform your customer of the payment he have to do, what will you use instead?

First, as i understand it yes, there is no such thing officially as "VAT receipt" its officially called "VAT invoice" but in reality (in English vocabulary, in function) it is a receipt, not an invoice?

The rest not sure I understand. Lets take a case:

(1) An order is accepted.

(2) A "normal" invoice is produced that states production will start when deposit is payed.

(3) Deposit is payed.

(4) A "vat invoice" for that payment is produced?

(5) The production is completed.

(6) A new "vat invoice" for that payment is produced?

(7) The products and ownership is transferred to the customer.

Should i interpret this as when the money is paid it must be reported as that day (two days, two times) or not until ownership is transferred? Your example is when the merchandise precedes the payment, mine is the opposite, the payment precedes the handover (ownership) of the merchandise.

There is really no such thing, officially, as a "VAT Receipt" - the Document which records VAT is the Invoice / Tax Invoice.

Please see :

http://www.rd.go.th/publish/6043.0.html

in particular Section 6 "Tax Invoice".

In addition look at Section 5 "Time of Supply" :

Quote :

The time of supply of goods or services is important because it determines when a registered person should account for VAT. The time of supply will be determined as follows:

5.1 Goods

5.1.1 General goods, the earliest of :

• • the time of delivery; or
  • when ownership of goods is transferred; or
  • a payment is made; or
  • a tax invoice is issued.

Unquote:

Your Accountant should report to the Revenue Department all sale transactions (recorded on an Invoice / Tax Invoice) no later than the 15th of the following month and submit payment of all VAT you have charged to your Customers - less any amounts you have paid to suppliers against their Invoice / Tax Invoice they have given to you.

The date you receive payment from your Customer is completely irrelevant - the Revenue Department does not care if you give a Customer 6 months Credit, or have agreed with the Customer that he will pay in installments ............. or even if you never get paid at all; your Company is required to pay the full VAT on the transaction to the Revenue Department by the 15th of the month following the date of the Invoice / Tax Invoice as already mentioned.

All Invoice/Tax Invoices must have sequential numbers and if you are using a Computer program it must be one approved by the Revenue Department.

Patrick

To explain the procedure in the case you outline :

1) An Order is accepted.

2) You issue an Invoice / Tax Invoice for the required Deposit - and report the transaction to the Revenue Department by the 15th of the following month, paying them the VAT shown on the Invoice / Tax Invoice.

3) Deposit is paid and you issue a Receipt.

4) Production is completed.

5) You Deliver the equipment to your Customer together with an Invoice / Tax Invoice for the balance of the Order (total Order less Deposit already received), report the transaction to the Revenue Department by the 15th of the following month and pay the VAT shown on the Invoice / Tax Invoice.

6) The Customer pays for the balance of his Order and you issue a Receipt.

There is no need for a document you call a "Normal Invoice" anywhere in the process.

There are only 2 documents involved - Invoice / Tax Invoice and Receipt (and maybe a Delivery Order or some such Document which your Customer should sign and return to you on acceptance of the equipment for your own internal records).

Hope this is understandable but if you need clarification on any point just let me know.

Patrick

Thankyou and hello again,

Yes its a bit more clear, but:

(1) is the "transaction" referring to the actual payment of the deposit or to the creation of the tax-invoice?

(2) The deliver/transfer of ownership will not take place until full payment is completed. Does that change anything?

(3) What happens with the first vat-invoice if the deposit never get paid and the order is cancelled?

(4) Yo write "There is no need for a document you call a "Normal Invoice" anywhere in the process." Why not? Some kind of commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer including payment terms must be produced and that is normally called invoice. Should then a separate contract be created when the term is "occupied". You cant make the agreement after the initial deposit payment is finalized.

TYPO (sorry)

Should i interpret this as when the money is paid it must be reported a taxinvoice created as of that day (two days, two times) or not until ownership is transferred? Your example is when the merchandise precedes the payment, mine is the opposite, the payment precedes the handover (ownership) of the merchandise.

I also find this confusing "6 TAXINVOICE VAT registered person or entity is required to issue tax invoices every time the transactions are made ". The exact definition of "transaction" is not explained.

Is every payment before the delivery a transaction or is only the delivery regarded as an transaction where a tax-invoice must be issued?

First, as i understand it yes, there is no such thing officially as "VAT receipt" its officially called "VAT invoice" but in reality (in English vocabulary, in function) it is a receipt, not an invoice?

Is this a correct summary about the matter?

(1) VAT invoices are not true invoices, its just a bad translation of "ใบแจ้งหนี้ / ใบกำกับภาษี". In reality its a VAT-receipts that must be produced and given to the customer every time a payment of any kind is performed on a TRUE invoice.

(2) A VAT invoice will "emulate" a true invoice in regard to that articles, prices etc will be specified.

(3) The number series for outgoing (customer) VAT invoice will be provided by Thai authorities every month. The same goes for incoming VAT invoices from suppliers.

(4) Normal (True) invoices must have their own number series that will not be provided by Thai authorities.

(5) To a normal (True) invoice there can be any number of VAT invoice's depending of how many payments was received. One VAT invoice for every payment.

(6) The VAT invoice is always produced after the payment is made, never before (preferably direct after).
