I agree. A more believable "story" would have been she went along with the importation in order to get into Georgia to claim refugee status.

If chef / cook is already preparing an online order, because it came in before you arrived, what would you propose they do?

If only she was 21 years, then none of this would have happened.

Strange. Most times, the business where an incident has occurred is not named in the media, due to Thailand's strict defamation laws. I guess sex does sell.

Buy your own router, one with better performance and more customizable than the AIS router. You can get a decent one for a reasonable price these days. You can change DNS settings etc, even set up a VPN back to your router. Plug it into the AIS router and route all your traffic through your own router.

Best to select encryption for your DNS queries as well. It adds an extra layer of privacy from your ISP.

Sounds like they need a "call back" service, similar to many companies in Australia.

I watched the video. He only says how his department, Services Australia, will treat your pension. He doesn't say how how the ATO will treat your pension. If you missed it, check out this short video. She explains it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-igEUe8CrVM

Great youtube video. See covers EVERYTHING that has been discussed in regards to the taxing of pensions as a resident and non resident. She also mentions the proposed changes. The video is only 1 month old. She has near 27,000 subscribers and this video has 11,000 views. I suggest members watch it. It's only 9 minutes long. Some interesting comments as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-igEUe8CrVM

So, anyone you don't agree with, you don't read their posts, personally attack them, then ignore them. Says more about you than me.

It's the best result for the forum, but noted you could not answer a couple of simple questions.

It's members like yourself that have had a negative impact on this thread. The proposed changes are there for all to see. Any chance, even if a small chance, of having to contemplate there is a tax around the corner and people like yourself clutch at straws in the hope it will not happen. Eg. Paul Hogan and Medicare Card. It's in black and white, yet shoot the messenger. It's ridiculous.

That's the best result for the forum. Interesting your only replies is to personally attack me, as per the usual herd mentality. I would have liked to have known your opinion on the 183 day bright line test, with the pension being deemed an income, and non resident tax rates starting at 30% from $0 to $135,000. Where's the free pass for expat retirees, self funded or on an aged pension? I have no problems with listening to your point of view, but your last few posts offer nothing to the thread.

I accept what you say, and that's certainly the case in Phuket, but many tourists use the baht buses in Pattaya. Also, apps are now widely used, even by the not so young. 'The good ole days" which is what you describe, when all the local riders could collude to set inflated prices are well and truly over, and guys like this are trying to hold onto the past. Also, these apps give an indication to a possible customer of the market price for their journey. For a few baht more, they may still go with a rider at a stand because they are there and ready to go, but for a rip off price, they will wait a few minutes for a rider off an app. I suspect this rider put to the passenger a rip off price.

Yes, he was, but there could have easily been a concrete block there and the driver would have hit it. It's called "inattention." Different if he ran out in front of the car, but he was laying on the ground.
