Re: Major Economic Issues For Thailand

In view of the above forecasts why does the Thai baht not collapse to 60bht to £1 as it was in 2007. ?

Re: New deposit rules for banks

I find this whole issue confusing - so as I pay my UK taxes and have the usual tax return to complete each year and then later on receive the HMRC tax calculation. I then pay or receive and that's the end,
Does this help me with all this TIN business ?

Re: Upcoming general election fundamentally flawed: Human Rights Watch

Fantastic early poling results. Pheu Thai and Move Forward expected to have the most first and second most votes. A coalition would be the result the people will crave for. BEWARE of the military appointed SENATE, they have the power to choose the Prime Minister and also dissolve both partys' with ...

Re: Hua Hin Then and Now Comparison

Thailand’s original beach resort is 100 — here’s what to expect today ........Bit of a flowery puff piece about a woman that stays in a few swanky hotels and explores modern Hua Hin.

Re: Locations that serve a "good" Amercian / English breakfast.

coincidentally, only yesterday my daughter (currently in the US) sent me a pic of a breakfast with eggs, bacon, waffles and syrup all on the same plate. She thought it was a mistake but was told it's normal. I have to agree with her comment "Very weird people!" Yes very normal over the pa...

Re: Renewing a UK Driving License

Once you reach 70yrs the UK driving licence needs to be renewed every 3 years. I reached 80yrs last October and my licence expired in September and was easily renewed for another 3 years. I still use my old UK address from where it is sent onto me here. I complete the details online and send by airm...
