We married in 2014 and have a house here in Thailand in her name. I have a house in the UK that we go to every year for 4 months. My will in the UK leaves that house to my 2 sons and she is happy with it. We have no kids together I support her like a wife in the west, we go food shopping together and she gets clothes etc when she needs them within reason. We go to the gym together 5 days a week and we go out on the town together when we want. I don't support her family and don't pay her a salary. She will get half my private pension when I pass. I am not a rich person. I met her when I was 55 I am now 70.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:27:21 +0000Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack across Ukraine overnight, killing at least 16 people, including two children, in one of the most extensive assaults carried out by Moscow in recent months. Get today's headlines by email Ukrainian officials said 11 people died in the southeastern city of Dnipro after an apartment building was struck, while another five people were killed in the capital, Kyiv. Dozens more were injured as attacks hit multiple regions across the country. Heavy Casualties in Dnipro and KyivAmong those killed in Dnipro were an eight-year-old boy and a woman whose body was recovered from the rubble of a damaged apartment block. Regional authorities said another child also died in the strike. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said part of the residential building had been “essentially demolished” by the attack. More than 70 people were reported injured in Dnipro and Kyiv. In the northeastern city of Kharkiv, authorities said 10 people were wounded, including a child. Hundreds of Drones and Missiles FiredAccording to Zelensky, Russia launched 656 strike drones and 73 missiles of various types during the overnight assault, including ballistic, cruise and anti-ship missiles. The president said civilian infrastructure and energy facilities were targeted nationwide, with the main focus on Kyiv. He reported damage to dozens of residential buildings and other civilian sites in the capital. Large plumes of smoke rose over Kyiv on Tuesday morning as air raid sirens sounded. City officials warned residents of incoming ballistic missiles and urged them to remain in shelters. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said fires broke out near a petrol station, a construction site, several apartment blocks and private homes. Power outages were also reported in parts of the city. Russia Says Strikes Were RetaliationRussia's defence ministry said the attacks were carried out in response to previous Ukrainian operations and claimed all intended targets had been successfully hit. The assault followed warnings from Moscow last week that it would conduct “systematic strikes” after accusing Ukraine of carrying out a deadly attack on a student dormitory in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine. Kyiv has said its operation targeted a Russian military unit. On Monday evening, Zelensky warned that a major Russian attack could be imminent and urged Ukrainians to pay close attention to air raid alerts. Calls for More Air Defence SupportFollowing the strikes, Zelensky renewed calls for additional Western military assistance, particularly interceptor missiles for Patriot air defence systems. He said Ukraine urgently needed further supplies from the United States to strengthen its ability to defend against missile attacks. Shortages of Patriot missiles have become a growing concern as demand for the systems has increased globally. Since returning to office last year, Donald Trump has halted direct U.S. military supplies to Ukraine, leading European allies to purchase American equipment before transferring it to Kyiv. Continuing EscalationThe latest barrage is part of a renewed cycle of attacks following the expiry of a brief ceasefire in May. Russia has since launched several major strikes on Kyiv, including an earlier attack on a residential block that killed 24 people, among them three children. Ukraine has also conducted attacks inside Russia, including a recent strike in the Moscow region that Russian officials said killed three people. Zelensky described that operation as justified. Ukraine's government accused Russia of using threats and military escalation as pressure tactics and called on international partners to increase support and pressure on Moscow as the war, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, continues. Join the discussion? Already a member? Adapted by ASEAN Now. Source 2 June 2026 View full articleTue, 02 Jun 2026 10:26:10 +0000Regarding paragraph 2, where did you hear that advice? I am certainly no expert. Are you saying that you liquidated investments prior to 31/12/23 and then parked the money in a bank account? If that is the case, I would suggest that the money is classified as cash savings. The Thai Revenue Department has stated that cash savings held prior to 1st January 2024 may be remitted with no tax payable. If investments are liquidated after 1st January 2024, any money from that source remitted to Thailand will be subject to a capital gains tax calculation, irrespective of the date of investment. People may have been investing for 20,30,or 40 years. Swapping for cash if they were getting nervous and then reinvesting at different times. Not easy to pinpoint sources of funds over a long period of time as funds are in effect comingled. Paperwork nightmare. That is not a one size fits all scenario as old cpu correctly says. Keep all paperwork. Others may have a different assessment of course.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:24:41 +0000Go to Aliexpress ,prices are cheaper than Thailand , I have bought several from there no problems, as reported Beelink is a good brand , win 11 already installed, take up less space, give it a couple of weeks to arrive, regards worgeordieTue, 02 Jun 2026 10:22:51 +0000Presumably she will return to the SNP all the jewelry and gifts she received. Or maybe not.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:21:42 +0000well why not? I'm nothing special, we have Atto3 that i need to do 900km trip once in a while, and the Atto 3 was very bad tool for the job. very very terrible. I'm pretty sure a lot people buy EVs to drive a lot of KM, instead of 7/11 runs. I almost always use my Fortuner for these trips and for me it's the best tool for the job, just this one time I used the Atto 3 for that and it failed me pretty badly. I had hope the experience would be good, but it was a nightmare. when you develop hate for a brand, it's hard to change, nothing will change my hate for BYD.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:20:26 +0000New Proposed Bill to Fuse US and Israeli military. So what does that mean? US forces may need to go fight in Gaza and Lebanon? I hope Trump opposes this? Or is it coming from Trump? The 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposes a merger between the U.S. and Israeli military.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:19:44 +0000Just bought a 2020 Suzuki Swift but it only came with one ignition fob key. Where is there a locksmith in Pattaya that can make a spare?Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:16:54 +0000I know it is an old thread but I am only in Pattaya 4 months per year and had not been to the market for a long time. It seemed a shadow of its former self. The parking problem seems to be solved as the place has become a large carpark and there are no customers. A few people exercising in the park but not the hundreds of people that used to eat there. I can not feel sorry for the few stalls still standing in the dark, closed up, unwelcoming looking market because it is what they voted for. I could not tell how many cars are using the car park as the signs telling what level there are free parking(in the post above) are all broken.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:15:51 +0000Are you actually serious? If there was a nationwide uk poll tomorrow asking "do you have confidence in the police" Are you suggesting that the majority of people would say "yes" I don't think its that simple, the police did act in error. as has become clear. But why did that error occur ? don't think it was accidental, i think it was the result of years of indoctrination, years of attending diversity courses, years of having their imaginary "subconscious racism" exorcised out of them by exceedingly well paid diversity consultants that their higher ups have forced them to listen to Yes the police made a mistake but their biggest mistake has been made long term over the past years and continues to be made , allowing the force to become infected with wokeness will never end well, It is the antithesis of common senseTue, 02 Jun 2026 10:15:19 +0000Low tide, south end of Chao Lao beach means the pier in the distance is nearly high and dry. 30 May 2026.

Unfortunately this concept does not exist in the ignorant Thai. One that particularly annoys me is waiters in restaurants, who either ignore you, or stand over you impatiently clicking a pen. Only one place in Thailand has trained their staff how to wait on tables. The Oriental Hotel Bangkok. The Thai never learn or progress and will remain in ignorance.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:11:26 +0000Hi I'll let you know. We're traveling to Khlong Hat for a 10/5km running event in mid- July.

Reality is from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. Capitalism is just a fantasy, socialism is realTue, 02 Jun 2026 10:06:35 +0000So you have quoted a year old post of yours and then slipped in ....... This was something that was mooted last year some time and then seemed to go away. Not saying it won't come to pass but Anutin seems determined to push for 2028 membership even though the initial agreed target with the OECD was 2030 so I guess anything could happen. However I have not seen, nor can I find, any update on a "negative income tax scheme'". I also do not believe that is a precursor to OECD membership. Edit - @oldcpu beat me to it.Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:05:58 +0000
