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.

Re: Things That Wind Me Up Driving In Thailand

A new one, but it has been bothering me for years. Lazy truck drivers, stopping to use service stations. Rather than pull into a service station, which would actually involve steering the vehicle, many just stop on the hard shoulder, and walk into the service station. Because there are very few slip...

Re: Speed Cameras

It doesn't sound off for anything unusual other than automatic doors when I go past a 7-11, which is fine - I'm used to that :laugh:. I did have a list of the various frequencies it detects, but no idea where that is now. Very few of the new speed cameras brought a reaction, but what I did notice (d...

Re: Speed Cameras

I'll be off to Ratchaburi soon - I will have everything switched on and will report back tomorrow. Personally, I don't see a problem if we stick to the speed limit, but nice to know because we all lose concentration from time to time.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

Yes, I think that is my understanding. The only grey area for me is if I were to transfer the remaining 30K in year 2, together with year 2's 50K. I am assuming the 30K from year 1 would be taxable in year 2.

Re: Electric Vehicles (EV) Thread

Yes, I pulled into the petrol/diesel part of the station a few days ago, and I must say, the new charging station looked very impressive. I was very surprised to see it there.

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Yes, I encountered it on the way to Khao Tao Lake around the same time. Mainly moderate, but very heavy in places. My arrival at the lake coincided with the rain ending :dance:

Re: Thai Football 2023/24

No, it was the low ranking /lack of supporters for 3 of the teams. The only decent team left in the competition, Bangkok Utd has a very small following anyway. It does not bode well for the final. I think they are looking for a venue small enough to make the final look busy.
