Re: Things That Wind Me Up Driving In Thailand

At the moment I have a loathing for Farangs riding big cc scooters (Forzas etc.) Why stop at big cc scooters? What about the guys who sling their golf clubs sideways across the seat behind them. It at least triples the width of the bike...................... but they forget. I've had a couple bounc...

Re: The scourge of Facebook

I know that I should, and I have other browsers loaded, but I just feel more comfortable using Chrome - probably an age thing. I'm my own worst enemy. I've switched from Chrome several times in the past, but keep drifting back :oops:

Re: The scourge of Facebook

Obviously a browser (Chrome) problem. Switched to Edge, and everything running smoothly.

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

31,200 at last night's Buriram vs Port game. That is massive for Thai football.

[Edit] 2nd place Bangkok Utd managed 1,101 for their game at home to Trat.

Re: The scourge of Facebook

Has anybody else noticed that for a few days now, Facebook has been working at snail's pace? I am continually having to close it down and re-open it. Very annoying.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

I'm fairly confident that my main pension will easily cover most costs of living here - that is taxed by UK and I have the proof. Even if I completed a form, it isn't going to show my State Pension as having been taxed, because it hasn't. My tax code will have been adjusted instead, and I pay extra ...

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

It looks as though my taxation code has been adjusted to cater for the amount of tax paid by my regular pension provided. So this does open a very grey area - although I am paying tax on my State Pension by stealth through my tax code, my State Pension is not being taxed directly. Do you complete a...

Re: BBC iPlayer

This is the issue I was having a week ago. Resolved by updating my Windows to the latest version, and switching around the VPN servers that will work - Midlands is best for me. Mine is back to perfect again.

Dannie Boy was not having the same issues with Nord.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

I have received my P60 (UK End of Year Tax Paid Certificate) this morning. I'd never noticed before, but this certificate does not mention my Government Pension, which is taxed at source. I'm thinking it may be difficult proving that this additional income from the UK has been subjected to UK tax. D...

Re: Renewing a UK passport in Thailand

I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I remember having had to help 2 friends similarly with my UK credit card.
