    Yes, Brioni made in Italy (now +20% tariff)

    Actually, given he just says 'the South', assuming that's PKK and down, that covers an area of over 2,000km2 , larger than Isaan (NE Thailand), bigger than CM/CR NW Thailand too.

    Sure it's not the Devil looking out for him!

    It's only for the week. Here we've got convoys, with a front truck playing music followed by another with the candidate standing in the tray shouting his slogans (they're all men) followed in turn by another full of supporters and hangers on giving out leaflets.

    I don't, expensive farang ghetto

    Exactly where my location says I do, Hat Yai

    Seeing as the UK took 3 years for a full trade deal with India recently announced, whatever they've just knocked up with the Americans ain't going to be 'full and comprehensive' - possibly full of something

    German, Japanese, Korean or whatever, there's no money to be made from inefficiency, you want them to run a business or a charity?

    When BMW revitalised the Cowley factory producing the Mini it didn't bring jobs. Instead it went from this To this

    Ours is probably 25 years old, no lights, only addition are the pots the legs stand in that you keep topped up with water to keep ants out. People in the west have just gone soft.

    Couple years since I last changed phones but my recollection of moving Samsung to Samsung was surprisingly painless.

    Other way round I think, the modern Western fixation with trying to live in a totally sanitised environment means westerners have lost that immunity or resilience to bacteria.

    It's like this one from Watsadu.

    Same here, though food isn't left out on the table, ants would be at it by morning, but we have a cabinet in the kitchen, metal sides with ventilation mesh, glass doors, the legs sit in little pots you fill with water to keep the ants away. Uneaten food goes in there, used up next day. In 20 years no one's died.

    Nothing good happens that time of the morning. He should have quit a couple of hours earlier.

    As suggested above one Will for assets in the UK, second Will covering assets in Thailand, and make sure the wife makes a Thai Will too - saves any potential dramas with Thai family looking for a share

    "Transaction fee for SWIFT payments We charge a £15 transaction fee for SWIFT payments." https://www.nationwide.co.uk/help/payments/swift-sepa-international-payments/ Kasikorn and Krungsri both charge a flat fee of Bht500, you get the prevailing TT Rate.

    I'd say the general observation still holds true. I work in the mining industry, on several projects globally, and my observation is that the number of tattoos correlates with education level; the fewer the greater the chance the person holds at least one degree. Yes there are exceptions, so it's not a matter of discrimination, rather that better educated generally people don't get tattooed or have very few.

    As they say, Stormy Daniels is the only person Trump's ever employed who was qualified for the job.

    The lack of humour, I can't abide someone who can't take a joke and laugh at themselves.

    Thanks for the update, it was 65k prior to this years increase, it has never been imaginary as your prior post stated, nor do you have any right to bring a foreign wife to the UK, they can indeed stop you.
  24. Stocky
    I'm perfectly aware of the requirements to take a foreign spouse to the UK, so there's nothing I'm 'not getting'. However, the bit I don't get is your sudden change of tune from the post I responded to which said 65k savings was imaginary, it isn't.

    Sorry but you're wrong there. If I wanted to move back to the UK and take my Thai wife with for longer than 180 days per year she needs to apply for a Spouse Visa. Currently the requirements are either I have a job with an income of at least £29,000 per annum (can be combined income if wife had employment too), or savings of at least £65,000. The financial requirements were brought in in 2012 by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition.
