  1. Thanks. But the questionnaire I quote is not only for non residents.
  2. I have lived in Thailand for 20 years and fully declared my non-residency status to HMRC. In 2012 the HMRC told me I need not send an annual self assessment tax return each year anymore because I only have my UK pensions (taxed at source) and my bank interest which was very low and also taxed at source. However, my bank interest earnings (given gross- not taxed at source anymore) have shot up recently due to high UK bank interest rates, so I completed a questionnaire from HMRC as to whether I need to start sending then a self assessment for tax again, as I am registered for self assessment online. The questionnaire states that as I don't have income of more than £100,000 per annum income, nor any foreign income, and no more than £10,000 per annum earnings from bank interest etc then I don't need to send one. I know I can ask HMRC directly but I want to put this to the forum first: How come I wont have further tax liabilities this year if my untaxed bank interest has shot up? Does the HMRC depend on other ways to find your income and then automatically send a self assessment to you if needed? The questionnaire is here: https://www.gov.uk/check-if-you-need-tax-return
  3. Obviously, by preserving its thoroughly democratically elected govt, it is showing why its candidature to be a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council is fully justified.
  4. The Jin is very good. I have visited along with the Golden Years group which he may also like to join as it provides enormously useful resources, talks and visits related to us oldies. They are a one stop shop for any advice like this for Thailand retirees. The place is in Nonthaburi - a bit far out of BKK but they have a bus to the nearest BTS. They also have medical services on site or an ambulance for serious cases. https://www.jinwellbeing.com/ Check out Bangkok Golden Years Seniors https://www.meetup.com/bangkok-golden-years-seniors on Meetup
  5. One that you clearly don't have.
  6. That's assuming you spend 65000 per month. I dont. If you spend less than that then it will accumulate over time in your Thai account just the same.
  7. In the meantime, one poor citizen gets 50 years in prison for sharing a Facebook post.
  8. I hate Songhkran (and those who participate).
  9. Thailand has a load of precious artifacts that it looted from surrounding countries in its history, including the Emerald buddah. Any chance of those being returned I wonder.
  10. I recently returned from abroad and went to my own condo in pattaya and then immigration - they told me I don't need a TM30
