Did you explain you were having issues each time?  Or was it more time to check?  Cataract is normally not an issue in itself and only requires removal if it causing problems.  So if you said something like having serious night driving issue to first doctor but not to second?  If not causing issues normally not a need for operation.

 

If a trip to Bangkok possible https://www.rutnin.com/en/about/ is well recommended and have used myself - very popular with Thai at less than major private hospital costs - very busy but well controlled queue system and English is fine.

This is an excellent hospital for eyes, the best in the country

I loved seeing russians on their holidays at the 7/11s taking beer from the fridge in afternoon prohibition hours then slapping the exact cash money on the counter & walking out the doors with their well earnt cold nectar under their arms.

You can't do that with cards & phone apps.

On a similar note - Kasikorn in Pak Chong refused to change GBP to baht this week.

Why?

You should have both.  You had to have the certificate to get the yellow book.  I think of the yellow book for use for domestic travel and the actual certificate as proof for international travel.  Heading to the US early tomorrow.  Will post what the airline (JAL) wants to see.

They should tattoo use with a bar code on our arm then they will know what to do with each of us & whether we have use.

Has any country tried that before I wonder?

It is obvious that puny amount is of no concern to them.  

 

Who in this world in 2022 does not have a bank card and why?

My bangkok bank card doesn't work despite my complaints to the bank & their calls to the 'head office' in Bangkok to rectify this.

It works as an ATM card.

There are bankrupties & people who have been victims ID theft that ends end shutting down all their credit & debit options which leaves them as cash as the only option then there are the elderly rural people around the world who have never been in the system & don't even use mobile phones.

Sounds unlikely... probably some distorted news report. 

You're probably right, it was on the bbc pages.

This happened to my girl, they were wearing baggy trousers & I must say it's an embarrassment.

I thought it was one step beyond the acceptable & would never be allowed in my house.

Anyway I calmed her down with a promise of a trip so we flew to Egypt & had a beautiful trip on a night boat to Cairo where I nigh had a cardiac arrest when she told me it must be love.

Strange things happen on Orange St but the show goes on.

tens of thousands of bangkoknees seem to have managed it nigh every wkend for about 6 weeks now some even in their pearlie outfits.

As of tomorrow morning, the restrictions to re-enter the UK are minimal with just a pre-paid antigen test to do a couple of days after you get in.

 

Thailand's 'lock down' in all it's manifestations has never prevented people leaving Thailand for the homelands.

Unless you happen to be Australian

Can anyone recommend a decent carpenter will come out to fix some doors & put up shelves etc?

I'll collect & drop them/you back if needed.

How much should I be paying for ATK tests kits & from who(I can't buy from lazarda as my card won't work online)?

I need get a bundle to test my children for school.

Can you legally be stopped & tested when going about your business in Thailand?

I saw a news report that there is a police unit doing this in London where they have rights to do that.

Yes it does have a kitchen and an extensive menu.

It was also SHA+ Approved which meant that all it's staff are vaxxed.

At last someone who actually read the OP, all pools are off limits when in quarantine. 

Wrong.

I did the 15 day quarantine a few months ago & had use of the pool whenever I wanted although there was so much CL in it that you got itch skin & sore eyes after 10 mins

Thanks, the actual dept store itself or a stand alone shop?

In the Central shop itself 2nd rd side.

5th fl if I remember correctly

Central have a range.

Very good quality brand & I have mine many years & I travelled many miles

If you want to swim then swim.

You are in quarantine so they can't throw you out & it's not against the law to swim at the moment as gyms & water parks are open if they want to be.

I don't know about the DS but there is one on Klang not far from Foodland but opposite.

I sent my missus there & she told me that her instructor reckoned that she was on of the best students that he had taught.

She passed her test after 10 lessons.

I went out for a drive with her afterwards to celebrate & I'm convinced that she was taught by a talking duck.

I still try to give her pointers but I'm told to shut up as I don't understand Thai drivers & she does....

Nigh on 110,000THB per claim.

If in Bangkok at Bang Sue. Book on the Dtac vaccine website (I found that one to be most user friendly) and I think you can do walkin at BangSue to get a booster.

I just went on that Dtac website as I am a customer but in the FAQ sections it says that the 3rd shot is not yet available to foreigners.
