Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
I'll continue with some of the other complications we have to deal with and a number of other open questions. 000 We do know that our daughter's father has a UK pension which, I've been told by the suspected fraudster friend, is valued at approximately £11,000. Now here's where it gets a bit interesting. The father, whom I'll call George, was fond of his nephew, whom I'll call Charles, who resides in Hong Kong and works in the finance industry. George, though, had a not so good relationship with Charles' mother. I believe George had only one sister. But George was fond enough of his nephew, Charles, that he wanted his assets divided between Charles and his daughter, whom I'll call Alice. Now there are a number of peculiarities here. Charles was immediately notified of his uncle's passing yet has declined to fly into Bangkok for the funeral or to help in sorting out his uncle's affairs. Now George had a quite many friends, some of whom were intimately involved with him in his final months. Some of them are familiar with Charles and may have even met him. Yet when any of these friends attempt to contact Charles by phone their calls are not answered. Similarly, I've received no replies to my emails to Charles the last two days. The only friend who has been able to have contact with Charles happens to be the suspected fraudster, whom I'll call Edward. I know this for fact as I've heard from George's other friends about their inability to contact Charles and I happened to be at Edward's house yesterday afternoon whilst he was on a call with Edward. In fact, Edward passed the phone to Alice and I clearly heard the short conversation which amounted to, "Hello, how are you?" "Fine." "Well, I hope to see you sometime soon. Goodbye." Of course Charles knew I was present, knew that I had emailed him, but didn't bother to ask to talk with me. Now Edward is promising me that he will be getting power of attorney from Charles and his mother to be the executor of George's estate. Once he has that authority he will then dole out the funds and cautioned Alice incessantly not to expect any funds from the trust account he would be setting up until she was 21. Edward has repeated stated to my wife and I that George did not have a lot of money. Not much more than £10,000 or perhaps a bit more. In other words, he continually stressed, again and again, that we were not dealing with any large sum of money. I do, however, know for fact from George's other friends that one of George's Thai bank accounts had a balance of ฿700,000. Which, granted, is not an overly large sum but neither is it as insignificant as Edward purports it to be. Now is anyone else getting the feeling here that something stinks in Denmark or is it just my fanciful imagination working overtime? Of course the above details aren't the whole of all of the details. Give all of that, my next question would be what Alice, or her mother, would need to do to be able to recover her father's £11,000 pension. I'm not a British citizen so I haven't a clue. -

Bringing Meat/Cheese into Thailand
Funny story, a little off topic. I too, have often wondered about the terrible hot dogs here. Yesterday, the ball and chain took me to Lengkee restaurant in Klang, Pattaya because of the vegetarian festival, and outside, they have this vast variety of "pure veg" food. She bought one that had small sausages in it, and she insisted that it was pure veg! I tasted it, and it was better than 99% of all meat sausages I have had in LOS!!! I'm sure there is some sort of scam going on, coz if those are really veg sausages, meat sausage companies would surely be going out of business!!! -

Trump lost the respect of veterans – including me. He's a risk to our democracy.
So your question merely reflected your own laziness. You have no facts to refute anything in the article OR the underlying document to which it refers. Enough with your little trolling then, you've successfully accomplished it. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Yes, ignoring laws that have no practical value is what most efficient organizations do. That I might be called in for a chat, 'cause I tripped some wire when I bought high priced air conditioners at Home Pro, with my credit card -- and credit card purchases are deemed assessable income by Siam Legal -- give me a break. TRD isn't stupid enough to waste resources to query Home Pro about large credit card purchases by farangs, and then have to research whether or not those farangs were tax residents -- with the highly probable result that non assessable cash paid the credit card bill. TRD certainly can do cost/benefit analyses -- and the above scenario certainly wouldn't be a keeper. No, I'll certainly risk a 2000 baht fine for not filing 'cause I have 120k in assessable income -- knowing full well the chances of an audit are slight. And, with no tax evasion, nothing serious could happen, even if an audit occurred. Yeah, the same law firm that tells you you have assessable income using your foreign credit card in Thailand. That you're comfortable with their overall advice -- is ludicrous. -

Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
Blah blah blah. Yet more hot air from Thai Ministers. We all know know exactly what will happen. A few more committees followed by press releases and the obligatory photo opportunity with Ministers congratulating themselves on a good job done. Followed by absolutely zero action. It happens time after time with any major incident. Why would any right minded person think this would be any different ? -

I know. Why do you keep quoting what a Ukraine politician said about Boris Johnson then, especially since Boris denied it. -

Thai man distributes explicit videos of ex-girlfriend after contracting STD
Sounds like a bit of a slut to me. Posing for nude pictures and spreading STDs. Her poor dad must be shaking his head. You must be careful these days. -

What are you on about? I said the Ukrainian politicians are liars as well. Can it be any clearer?
