Just an update to my previous posts - my PSA now < 0.1. I am in the UK at the moment and out of interest just had my hormone injection over here it called prostap in Thailand it's called Enantone BUT both made by the same company (Takeda)

I am abroad at the moment (since May) and haven't looked at Thai Visa since then . This morning (UK time) I tried to enter the site, firstly it would not accept my password - solved that with new passwors (noticed parameters forr password no longer suited my original). Now I am in the site things look a little different (reference to Thaiger for one thing). I was looking to update myself on the current situation on the tax rules for retirement visa extensions - can't seem to find that. So has something happened?

Your point is correct except for the last part which is completely unnecessary - not everybody might be as "tech savvy" as you.

On you phone here in Thailand?

Firstly, I live in rural Isaan amongst the doomice. Just because you are poor doesn't mean you live in a feudal society. The UK has many "poor" in its population. Granted on some fronts there may be elements of feudalism (as viewed through our western eyes) but to call Thailand a "feudal society" is somewhat overstating the case I don't know any feudal society that has universal health care for the poor doormice.

So it's a router issue - no malicious router no VPN issue

So Thailand is a feudal society?

So if a Thai moves say from Nakon Ratchasima to Bangkok they have to register that? (big brother is watching where you live). But they are still Thai. The headline makes it sound like these people are illegal immigrants.

So it's not a VPN issue. it's a router issue because if the router isn't compromised then any issue with the VPN can't be expoited

You have to (are supposed to) report to the nearest police station after crossing I believe

Slightly off topic but are people aware of the "Cascade System" for Schengen? - The rules are slightly complicated but if you have had previous Schengen visas within a certain time scale you can ask for a longer validity than 1 year Visa For example we have just got a 2 year validity Visa (Austria) for my Thai partner (still 90 day max in 12 months) because she had a 1 year validity visa (Spain) less that two years ago.

I think I saw that Eire (southern Ireland) allowed people with a UK visa in BUT I looked at this some time ago so please double check on the government web site

Just to conclude my post - PSA yesterday O.4 (1 month later) - watchful waiting (and I was watchful waiting for 20 years - my PSA in 2000 was 7) and then action when required pays of!!

Key words - "these days" - any ideas why that might be the case?

The age old paradox - risk versus reward: If you have the Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine you might die from Thrombosis if you don't you might die from Covid BUT you cannot know beforehand which category you might fall into - all we can do is look at the statistics and make our own decisions or not as the case may be.

Being quite old my plan (made early last year) was to move all my money assets to Thailand so my Thai partner could access my money easily when I "pop off". This new interpretation (for want of a better word) put the kibosh on that. So this year I will not be in the country long enough to be a tax resident and I will transfer all my money here this year (both income, what I had before Dec 31st and proceeds of the sale of my flat - after that I will be happy to pay tax on my meagre UK pension should it reach the required threshold.

Where possible I always pay the exact amount plus any "tip" always ensure I have plenty of 20s and 100s in my wallet

Doesn't answer the question what exactly is "legitimate interest" Of course I use the internet since "online" in the late 60's and I know they steal my data but that doesn't mean I can't question/complain about the underhanded tricks used to steal it.

This morning when I accessed Asean I was confronted by a "cookie permission screen" so I see Asean are busy "monetising" my data. Not only that but there were an enormous number of "legitimate interest" buttons to individually switch off with no "reject all" options only "accept all" and "save selection" My view: The only person who has a legitimate interest in my data is ME.

Even if there were "rules" do you think anyone would abide by them ?

et tu Confusious

I find if you don't look for potential problems they have a habit of surprising you when they arrive as the surely wil as you get older.

Streamline from Lotus (I think) - I prefer raspberry to strawberry

I hadn't tested since I returned in September!!!
