Thai High-Risk Groups Urged to Get Covid-19 Boosters
EIGHT. Is your mother Chinese? 8 is a very lucky number, in Chinese culture. I have great respect for your mother, or anyone, who can have eight jabs, and still ask for a ninth. I see nothing wrong with this....as long as these shots are FREE. After all, somebody needs to be test subjects. In the past, drug companies once used PRISONERS for testing drugs. Now, they just use the general population, which is US.... I really do not care...because.... I have suffered no ill-effects. Even if I did suffer ill-effects, I would not complain because...... Our world is deteriorating so fast that.....any shortening of my lifespan.... Would be seen by me as.... A positive side-effect. No worries. -

So, now not only are you personally attacking me, but also the Mods. What forum rules have I breached? By all means, put me on "ignore." I have actually requested members to do so in the past. It allows those who want to discuss what very well may be the single biggest issue facing Aussie expat pensioners in decades, and you want to shut down the discussion because it's too painful to even consider the possibility of losing 30% of your pension. No one wants to read about the possibility that their government is going to start taxing them, or tax them more. The solution on this forum was to shoot the messenger, which was me. Every possible reason for why it would never happen was put forward by members. Reasons ranged from "That's just for guys like Paul Hogan" to "I still have a Medicare Card so I am still a tax resident." There was also, "Albo and the new Labor government would never do it." Everyone was looking for reasons why it would not happen, whilst they should have been looking at reasons why it could happen. Of course, links were posted, from credible sources, many of them government websites, and not just from myself, but also others, that showed the main issues. They are, and continue to be, if you are outside of Australia for 183 days, you will be deemed a non resident for tax purposes. There is no tax free threshold in the non resident tax brackets. The pension is deemed to be an income. The pension is taxable. There is no exemption for old age pensions in the proposed changes. The DTA covers "Government Pensions" and an old age Centerlink pension is not a government service pension. Tell me what is incorrect with these issues, and provide some links. The DTA got put forward, which has also been shown that there are still reasons to be concerned. Still, the personal attacks and trolling not only continued, but many jumped on the band wagon, like teenage sheeples on social media. It's the members, such as yourself, and posts like this one, that ruins a thread. Do everyone a favor and place me on ignore. There are many members that want to give some consideration, and discuss options, surrounding the proposed changes to non resident tax. Indeed, one small loop hole seems to be doing 46 days in Australia every 3 years. This was discussed, even while members such as yourself continued to be in denial. Posts like yours offer zero content to the forum. What do you think should be discussed? Portability? It's been done to death. Anything else? How about the phone number for Centerlink from overseas. Important information that. For me, the funny thing is, Thailand appears to soon be enforcing the physical presence and time based tax resident model. Many members who personally attack me accept this from Thailand, but in no way do they accept Australia implementing the same in the near future. It's laughable. Really, it can be summed up very simply. Aussie expat pensioners want to remain a tax resident of Australia to avail themselves of the tax free threshold, whilst living in Thailand full time, yet no member has put forward how they are going to get around immigration knowing they are outside of Australia for 183 days a year, thus, a non resident for tax purposes. Many pensioners believe, or need to believe, they, and their pension, are a protected species. Where does this idea come from? It's certainly not in the laws. -

US ambassador vows stronger ties with Thailand
Key word is COURTESY CALL. It was not a diplomatic meeting where affairs of state were discussed, An Ambassador presents his/her credentials to the host foreign office. Usually, if the Ambassador is important it is to the head of state (e.g. King, or President). Protocol is very important in foreign affairs and Thais are sticklers for protocol. There is a hierarchy and a pecking order. -

At one point, not so long ago, I counted that your last 20 consecutive posts were nothing on topic, and were all just personal attacks, trolling, flaming, baiting etc of me. I gave up counting after 20 posts. I did post about it at the time. There was no new content from you. No discussion. No links etc. Nothing. It seems that you are starving yourself of more oxygen than me. Keep up the good work. -

US ambassador vows stronger ties with Thailand
The meeting depends on the nature of the event. If the Ambassador is presenting a direct message from his PM, then the host PM may meet the Ambassador to accept the specific message. As I stated, it is not usual practice for a foreign Ambassador to meet with the host government PM. If that was the case, the PM would not have time for other more important activities. -

Paying voluntary National Insurance contributions - ridiculous processing time
Seems to be hit and miss with DWP. Some people - like me - have no problems whatsoever; others - like you - experience problems and delays. Luck of the draw, I guess🤷 -

Thai High-Risk Groups Urged to Get Covid-19 Boosters
I've had 3 Covid shots (regret getting the 3rd as unnescessary for travel and was Mrna). My mother, now age 86 years, in the UK, has had 8 Covid shots and contemplating getting the 9th shot as they are pushing it on her. OMG! I'm surprised that @TallGuyJohninBKK hasn't commented yet. He loves everything Covid. -

Please do not equate Trump to Jesus Christ. The statement is offensive to Christians. You obviously have not studied the teachings of the Christian faith. Have some respect for others please. -
