Covid-19 visa extensions ending
unblocktheplanet replied to edwarda909's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
All I can say is, he got 60 days, good until May-something, entered on a tourist visa. -

It does not affect me personally. But I like to see govts offering compassion to all who suffer, including foreigners. That's worth the price of a few dodgers. So what? Hurting anybody? -

Jack, can't tell which way you lean on this. I'm for erring on the side of compassion even if we have to put up with a few dodgers. -
Covid-19 visa extensions ending
unblocktheplanet replied to edwarda909's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No, he did a border run just before Covid, between jobs, cancelled work permit. Lucky he came in on a tourist visa! Hope they'll keep Covid extensions for the many who lost their jobs. -
They just find another way to screw you ! (Lazada sellers)

Perfect Kingston packaging, not resealed. Drive reads 250 GB, fails copying at 10.2 MB. I only opened one, did not test them all. Negotiating with Lazada now. -

Recent Lazada story. Bought FIVE "Kingston" 256 GB flash drives for a project. They were fake & would not copy files. Arrive March 11 at 2 pm. I called Lazada on March 18 at 230pm. Their seven day return policy runs by hours not days! No refund, no return! -

What was it like to have a Cataract operation in Thailand
unblocktheplanet replied to webfact's topic in Health and Medicine
Still working well for you? Doc tells me 90% of her glaucoma patients have normal pressure. Guess I'm lucky to have an early warning. Seems like there are several kinds of drops to decrease IOP using different pharmacology. -

Thanks for this. I'm reading up (while I can still see!). Had B4250 of tests plus B1750 for follow-up. Both IOP tests were done at noon a month apart. Guidelines are to test IOP on different days at different times; that's next. So far just blurry vision, esp in early morning & can't see fine print. Glaucoma soecialist doc is good; she part-times at Rutnin but her full-time gig is at the public Monks Hospital. -

Vaccination Yellow Book advice please
unblocktheplanet replied to Negita43's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Apple Store Genius told me the easiest option was just take a photo of the vax cert. I also took one of just the QR code. Then it's easy to access from your photos folder with no Internet. -
Sweetheart's family was middle class but had a mortgage. I was proud to pay it off. Had to buy her a house, of course, but refused a car in Bangkok. Haven't bought her gold in a couple of decades as prices rise. 30 years of happiness is worth any treasure. If the family is well-off, they usually return the sin sod or buy the house for their daughter. It's a good system, not like the bride-slave dowry in India.

Rutnin is my eye hospital, too. Fine print was getting difficult & blurry vision on waking. No black areas in vision but my intraocular pressure is up which could signal the start of glaucoma. No real easy fix for that.
