Nope . Echo Chamber, Ka Ching You can’t help it. It’s all you have. Credibility and honesty are non existent. -
i had the joy of being sat next to a monster of a man from toyko to toronto last week - 12 hour flight. he took up about 25 percent of my seat. one positive was the plane was 777 so i had plenty of leg room.

If you need to ask that question, perhaps you are not one of them.

Dangerous Hand Grenade Uncovered in Chonburi District
Korat Kiwi replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Our release levers were standard olive drab (green). Only attached the fuses once at the throwing/grenade range. Posting grenades was exciting... No not in the mail! You crawl on your belly up to a pre-dug hole. Pull the pin and 'post' the grenade into the hole and then slide back a few feet. Woomph! The blast goes straight up. You're relatively safe actually. All part of Army training. -
A tax loophole?
Lacessit replied to Lacessit's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Kerry Packer once famously said anyone who does not minimize their tax needs their head read. If I am bringing in AUD 5300 in savings to Thailand, please explain why that is income, and taxable. Also please explain how the Thai tax authorities can differentiate between income and savings in an Australian bank account. -

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
Wobblybob replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I think that is a possible answer to those willing to think outside the box. I did an internet search and it's possible to open a Philippine bank account on line without even going to the Philippines. Surely finding a Philippine address can't be that difficult. -

Honestly is one word you should delete from your vocabulary. You have exchanged posts with him but you claim you have never heard of him. Strange, but true -

Foreign currency accounts
JohnnyBD replied to JohnnyBD's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thanks. That saves me a trip to SCB. I hope Kasikorn will allow online conversions. I will try to open FCD with Kasikorn since me & wife already have THB accts there. If successful, we will close our accts with UOB. Too many accts to report each year to FBAR. -
I am not aware of business class being available on domestic flights within Thailand. Normal people prefer to spend their money on things less ephemeral than business class big-noting.

It is my mother's 80th birthday today. She has received a letter from the DWP advising that she will be receiving a 25 PENCE per week increase in her state pension for reaching this milestone. It probably cost a months worth of the increase just to notify her by post. -

Tax evasion is a crime, not a loophole. -

UN Report Warns Of Asia's Increasing Climate Crisis
Danderman123 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This reminds of the Denier movement of 20 years ago's mantra: "but Al Gore has a big house". Of course, the Denier claims of 20 years ago are forgotten now, humorous in retrospect. -

However, more than 70 million Americans voted for Trump, twice. -
Private Talks Between Thaksin, Srettha Fuel Cabinet Reshuffle Speculation
Dan O replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Watch for the change before July when the unelected senators are completely out. They made that statement earlier this week that while they will be leaving politics "they have no agenda but they are ready to vote for a new PM before July, if needed" -

Yellowtail replied to Chetzee's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
And what might that be? So if I go the day before it expires, I can effectively get 13 months on one extension? -
Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
Burma Bill replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
For reference - not only Thailand where UK State Pension is frozen but also Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam in this part of the World. My UK State Pension is frozen at 102 GBP per week, the same as 15 years ago! Fortunately I get two indexed linked police pensions in addition. Full list: https://www.britishpensions.org.au/archive/frozenindexed.htm -
Very happy to be back here, I left Melbourne when it was 13 C, not counting windchill. Hoping to survive a plague carrier seated next to me, who coughed continuously from Melbourne to Singapore. The Singapore - Bangkok leg had a howling infant a few seats away. The joys of air travel.

It's the airline's responsibility, not yours. So, if they allow these small trolleys as carry-on, it will be used. If they don't check the size and weight (but they usually do with normal airlines) you should take it up with the airline. Good luck. if you are getting fed up with other people's luggage, just travel business as we normal people do.
