Re: New Spanish Inquisition for Expats.

It seems there is now a movement to counter this from expats there, its the sort of thing that could happen in Thailand also. It is as if its a ...

New Spanish Inquisition for Expats.

Hi, This maybe of interest to some of the forum members. It certainly would be if you, like me, are resident in Spain and having property or assets in Thailand. There has been a new tax introduced recently for anyone having 'residencia', for tax purposes, who has assets outside of Spain amounting to...

Re: Thailand Classifieds?

Thanks Buksida, will ignore any further emails from this site. Not sure how they got y details, ust be they just latch on, and hope I go ahead and pay for the service. Normally, as you know listing a property even with an agent is free but only subject to commission on sale.

Thanks Again GN.

Re: Hua Hin Police Traffic Stops

Hi, Does anyone know if the international driving permit also covers for motor bikes?

Re: POLL: Have You Suffered Food Poisoning in Thailand?

I have been in hospital 3 times, but only once in Thailand. That being Gastro-entoritus, having to spend 9 h...

Re: Are ceiling fans effective ?

Thanks BB for the very important advice about Big Kiang, I was afraid of that myself. However in the past I lived and worked in Spain for two years, and one of the jobs I was doing included installing ceiling fans, but that was to put in place to an existing light fitting, but also the ceilings ther...

But yes, if its the norm and we plan correctly than should be ok, but we have lots of residents who believe to the contrary, and that the...
