Toppings for toast?
Please read the ingredients list on Nutella. Mostly oil & fat. Minimum hazelnuts. Now make your own in a blender with a splash of oil and salt, as you would with peanuts. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
Everybody's circumstances are different but I topped up my NI contributions at Class 2 rates (Working Overseas) & the "Payback" is something like 7 months, so assuming I live to 68 I'll be quids in - IIRC Payback at Class 3 rates is something like 7.5 years, still not a bad deal. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
Prior to living in Thailand, I didn't have a clue to a Brit and still don't 🤔 This is one example as to why there isn't a Great any longer to Britain LOL? I really feel sorry for them coming from an Democracy but yet they hand out and spend like a drunker sailor sure just like the U.S. force us to participate in a good program that our government has driven to the ground then when <deleted> hits the fan what us to do the cost savings call programs they ran to ground " Entitlement " . The average guy losing out as government pit other citizen against each other sharing a small piece of the apple pie while those who are in government continue to benefit because politician use them for votes. Their claim to those benefits " we need to pay more so they don't go into the public service we have to compete with the talent " As I learned from many Brits the word " Rubbish " politician taught about " Gobal economy/Freedom " that is what is " rubbish " while they live in comfort care more about illegal immigrants more than their own citizens pitting them against each other. The allowance is a drop in the bucket to what is thrown away each day. Talk is cheap by our political leaders none lead by example any longer! -

Bangkok Bank + insurance (package deal)
True, went to 3 different bank locations before I found the one willing to open the account with no insurance. Do not be fooled and be willing to walk away. Tips: have all paperwork ready to go. Be very polite and do Not get angry or make a scene this will cause them to lose face. If you have a trusted Thai partner who can influence the bank worker and get the process started it may be helpful. Be happy, maybe joke with them and make them want to help you because your a good guy. -

Many older people are easily frightened by their government. The DWP threatens (although effectively powerless to act) and the easily frightened volunteer payment. -

Everyone is casting accusations, but let's wait to see if/when there's some roadside CCTV, which might give some better info. Very sad for everyone involved. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
I was thinking more like 5 years in TH, then 180 days in the PH to do the reset. Then back to TH at the new and improved rate. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
My gov pensions get dumped into Thai bank monthly because the US gov doesn't care. But, my banking and investment firms have my US address, end of story. If I was a UK citizen I'd do the same as you. Too many times guys get mouthy in their business dealings. -

Your Two Months Rental Deposit
Any damage above general wear and tear then the renter is responsible for the cost of repairing. Not paying the rent to be sure you recover your original deposit is not following your rental contract and could give you problems with a new rental contract as often a landlord will check with your previous landlord. -

Bank of Thailand Intervenes to Manage Baht's Exchange Rate
So... how does this workout? Or how should it be? Or how is the stage set? Are there any special, selected countries whose currencies should appreciate eternally, and the rest just keep devaluing their money until bankruptcy? Would be great to get some unbiased financial advice from a real expert. -

Prawit No Longer Accepts Salary, Entitlement Pay As MP
Sounds good, but one, his salary will be a drop in the ocean, two, he has given himself the go ahead only to attend when it suits him instead of doing the job properly. -
