A newer version by Dami Im, Aussie X factor contestant: -
SCF was very active in Chiang Mai around 20 years ago, providing residential care for orphans who'd lost their parents to AIDS, or been abandoned after being diagnosed HIV+. It was run by two doctors - Dr Prakong and her husband Dr Vicharn. I guess both of them have retired by now, but wonder if SCF is still operational and, if so, if anyone here can provide contact details - I mislaid them years ago, but with some trips to Chiang Mai in the offing, I'd like to call in and make a donation. Thanks in advance.

Text of the current (1981) UK-Thai DTA here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/507424/uk-thailand-dtc180281_-_in_force.pdf Extract from Article 19 here: (2) (a) Any pension paid by the Contracting State or a political subdivision or a local authority thereof to any individual in respect of services of a governmental nature rendered to that State or subdivision or local authority thereof shall be taxable only in that State. (b) However, such pension shall be taxable only in the other contracting State if the recipient is a national of and a resident of that State. "Services of a governmental nature" seems to indicate that all UK civil service (central and local government employment-related pensions) might be exempt from the current proposals. Article 24 Non-Discrimination reads: "(1) The nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of that other State in the same circumstances are or may be subjected.

Background: Been asked to consider an invitation to a proposed conference in the US next Spring. Conference hosts will pay flight and accommodation costs. If the invitation materialises, I'd take 'er indoors with me at my expense (she insists I'm not safe to be let out of our house alone). I'm mid-70s and she's mid-60s, both with predictable histories of prior ailments. Q: Any recommendations of insurance companies that might provide health cover for us while in the States? TIA
