A day of shame for Thailand.

I know we're restricted to what can be said, but as stated in the attached media report:

'No-one should die because they think differently'.

A brave lady. RIP

Re: Football (not Premier League)

Are they that evenly matched. Evenly matched at being poor! My take on the two games is that Southampton and WBA both look in better shape than either Leeds or Norwich, who were woeful. But they all lost form in their last 6 league games. But as the next game for all 4 is effectivelly a winner take...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

Just realised that if the spuds lose their next two games and Chelsea win both of theirs, we will finish above them.

There's a far-fetched thought! :thumb:

Re: Premier League 2023-24

It was a really poor game. It was as if the Mancs dragged Arsenal down to their level. I thought Arsenal would run riot, but they looked a bag of nerves. Still job done, over to City now.

Re: Tax residency in Thailand and taxing overseas income

Should I be? I've never heard of anybody doing so before. Well, you have heard of one now - me! As stated it depends on circumstances. Your P60 from an employer will only ever cover tax deducted by that employer. You mentioned this made it harder to prove tax 'paid' from state tax. If you did an an...

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: Thailand plans to decriminalize cannabis

I'm aware of a few cannabis shops closing in the Thonglor area of Bkk, but I just just assumed that was a 'settling' of the market, where supply outstrips demand. One particular place was on a corner of a cul de sac and had created a sealed off garden where customers could enjoy their purchase. I ac...

Re: Pranburi bar owner arrested for trafficking minors

But nowhere in the article does it say that the girls were 'forced' to provide sexual services. Says it in the first paragraph. Just as well they can rely on an 'international anti-trafficking organisation' to provide the relevant info, after all, it's not as though the authorities here can be expe...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Just easing off here - traffic light end of 112. But still black skies above and strong winds. Very, very heavy rain, and its just getting another head of steam up as I type!
