Reader question: Using family bank to finance home Thai son and tax
My wife and I want to emigrate to Thailand after my retirement (sometime in the next few years). My wife is Thai, we got married in 1982 and have a son. We therefore want to make use of the tax benefits that the tax treaty between the Netherlands and Thailand offers with regard to tax on pensions.

Reader question: Where in Pattaya can I go for a check-up for melanoma?
I have a question for people who live in Pattaya or at least know their way around. In the good old days when I still lived in the Netherlands, I went to my GP about once every two years and had him check for suspicious skin spots and if he found them, he treated them with nitrogen, depending on the size, and Piet felt safe again. There is (unfortunately) melanoma in my family, so it is better to be there in time than cure later.
