I think what you are hinting at is the 'grey area'. If your P60 e.g. shows you earn/pay tax on £10K, but you are bringing £16K in to Thailand each year, the additional £6K hasn't been taxed in year, so will be liable for Thai taxation. Maybe I'm over-simplifying, or crediting Thai revenue with too m...

Just checked my photos - your recollection is correct

Disqualification of entries is the one pleasure I get from this competition Thank you pharvey.

No, I'm not doubting what you say. Just saying the photos depict a cave more like the Ha Long cave, rather than Ratchaburi. Beautiful cave, regardless.

Nice cave. Better than the one in Ratchaburi I think, but looks on a par with the one in Ha Long Bay.

I've been looking further into the Grand Western, and found this posted a week ago:
Obviously diversifying from the hotel business. A BIG shame.

Thanks for the recommendations. I should be able to find an option from them and I think I'm going to choose Baan Tara Spa after checking online. But the first choice would have been your regular hotel, the Western Grand, I like the old style, but on booking.com I get the message that they do not t...

Just back from visiting friend at BH, and 2 buggies running today.

I agree, that's where I'm standing at the moment also. I can see there will be a lot of people from the UK who will fall into grey areas though. I did consider going to the talk, but decided there were others whose need to know would be far greater than mine. With the limited audience capacity, best...

I thought I read it had come into force about 2/3 weeks ago. Or was that just the ruling, with implementation later. If that is the case. it was just a bit more political propaganda, with no real substance. There seems to be a lot of we're doing this or doing that, but implementation is incredibly s...

Who actually polices payment of minimum wage. I've seen all of the minimum wage for 10 provinces raising to 400฿/day propaganda. However, I still see advertisement after advertisement on Social Media offering jobs in Hua Hin for between 300 and 350฿/day. How do they get away with it?

My regular hotel in Ratchaburi is Western Grand, which is 23Km. An older hotel, but well cared for and quite cheap. It is on the edge of town. You must remember, driving in Ratchaburi is nothing like driving in Hua Hin. Traffic is very quiet. Driving around Ratchaburi is easy. A place I stayed last ...

With 2 IKTS legends on my tail for so long, it was only a matter of time before I was overhauled. Especially at the arse-end of the season when nothing makes sense.
