I realize it's a 2 1/2 hour drive each way but I recommend you go to Hat Yai and consult

Assoc Prof. Varah Yuenyongviwat. Be guided by him as to what tests (if any) are needed.

 

He can be seen at Prince of Songkhla University Hospital or at his private clinic

(go through the Special Clinic, he is there on Mondays)

If MRI is recommended, and there is a long wait to do it at the hospital. you can get it at:

Good for you.  Sounds like my OH is quite a lot smaller than yours, or your son.  I merely suggested something for prospective purchasers to consider; really didn't need the lecture, thanks.

 

PH

And I merely responded just as you to prospective purchaser another view to consider and disspell the nonsense view about the size.

Dito I also dont need the smug lecture and <deleted> remark! 

Dito glad we on the dame page in regards Thanks

The solution to near everthing in Thailand especially Pattaya.

While this may be true for some, I find the 125 perfect for zipping around town...really don;t need any extra oomph.  Mrs found the 160 too big - the 125 is big enough and, when she's on the back, is almost too big for her to get on/off.  Worth bearing in mind for a couple.

 

PH

I hear this all the time, as I noted it is more than the CC, the techno of the big, the suspension the hangling. I started with the original Click 2006 110 cc, has 200,000 KM. I had no intention of buying a 150 PCX, in 2012, but I did wife said I was selfish too big my son said old man bike. Today 125,000 KM family has nothing below 150, son now 24, wife 52 kilos switch between the PCX and new Click 160 purchase 72,000, son wife Vespa 150,  both close to 200 lbs LOL, once they try it for a day you never see it again aside from me that is all they use it for to point A to B. 

Then of course cutting thru traffic nonsense heard that too Ive not deviated from cutting through traffic one bite from the old click or my son 125

Unless a person lives in fantasy land as noted by earlier post you cant be in this organization and turn your head there is no serpico in Thailand you are either with them or against.

As I noted before his current position running around promoting the RTP wad nothing more than PR, a big joke!

He was back the first time because he is a snitch as label wasnt going to get the top job. He certainly has something on someone this time will they help him. 

Ever wonder how the Triads took over 32 provinces and we hear nothing of the outcome.

To fix the problem dig a big hole start from the top every province every district to every local station.

Immigration changed the financial requirements so you have to maintain certain levels in the bank for the whole year. At about the same time my bank would only go back about four weeks when I updated my book so unless I update it every month I end up with a consolidated entry which does not prove I maintained the required balance for the whole period. If your immigration office insists on proving you met the financial requirements for the whole year you either have to regularly update your passbook to avoid consolidated entries or get bank statements to cover the year.

Did you read the Dr respond or mines.  All one has to do is look at your bank book to see if it is current or not. Reason I make a deposit of a 1000 then get a letter to verified the total which should be last entry reason I xerox all the pages of the passport attach it to the bank letter.

This method Ive never had anyone question he looks at the dates on the copies that I have met all the requirement as you are noting and Im done in 10 minutes.

In fact the guy seems pissed at times that I have things in order cant make me jump through their hoops. This year just done ladt month he ran thrpugh everything twice then took my passport started to xerox all the pages making another set handed to me to sign I ask did I miss something said No, told him I have extra copies if he needed more. No humor I was out 12 minutes.

How do you manage to use JOINT account. 

So Jomtien allow a joint account with double the amount? 

Is this for extensions based on retirement.

Aware of it however not all offices accept joint account with double the amount. 

That is why I noted Jomtien clearly. Been for over ten years never had a problem.  Long ago I had a commander question it said I should do a Will. I smiled explained to him reason and their legal system without insulting it he smiled that was enough for me to know I was doing it right.🤑

Do you have a Fixed deposit account? 

I posted earlier that at CW previously I had zero issue with providing photocopies of bank book (savings account) for many years. 

I use a dedicated bank account and as a result some months show zero transactions. 

CW insisted on 12 month bank statement. 

I was able to obtain statement as Kasikorn can provide that on the spot. 

BBL not so 

Sorry my base is Jomtien!  Reading these problems at CW glad Im here.

Not a fix I use a joint account well exceed the limit of 800,000 joint 1.6M

I'm a bit confused about what immigration in CW requires for a bank statement if someone has the Baht 800K in cash in a Thai bank savings passbook account and is applying for a 1 year visa extension on the basis of retirement. Is it a 6 months or 12 month statement that is required on the statement? 

 

I would assume that they want a 12 month statement to show that the full amount of the 800K remained in the bank account for the 3 months immediately following the date when the previous 1 year retirement extension was granted. 

 

Also, if, for example, Bangkok Bank takes 5-7 business days to issue a 12 month statement, then how old can the date be on the statement, prior to the visa extension renewal application date, while still being an acceptable 12 month bank statement by immigration?

Why would you need a 12 month statement unless you are using a monthly.

All I do for years is go to Bangkok bank the day before deposit a 1000 baht then hand the teller 100 Baht for a letter that letter just confirms the total amount. 

I also xerox all pages of the book, attached to application highlight the areas approved out the door in 10 minutes.

You're saying that "international human rights" dictates that tourists killed or injured, anywhere in the world, have medical costs covered (up to a certain amount) and compensation mandated by international law?    Could you be more specific with that claim and, perhaps, show something to back it up?

Thanks LL, for asking. If true then someone is in violation for some time.

This admits that minors are out hours they should be home watch by their parent but in the land of stupidity they cant figure it out instead bragging.

The Click 125 I believe is being phazed out slowly replscef by the 160.

The difference online price from the dealer might be two things 

1st, online wheels spoke or Alloy, alloys are better and worth the extra expense 4000 difference 2nd Keyless entry.

Unless you are on a budget will worth moving up to a 160cc, much more than just CC, overall a much better ride and bike Techno wise.

Just stay off the road altogether!

Thai need the road to themselves since they dont know how to share the road. Then the suggestion 10,000 only land of stupidity can come up.

It is just one of the epidemic probles in the society especially with the masses the poor!  Sugar is like a drug there is zero education just talk in government schools.

Whatever W.H.O. concern dont provide funds to the Thai leadership to help fix it wont happen ever!

😂Thais are becoming more and more Chinese each year.  They should start to celebrate it for 21 days like Songkran.

Yeah 'cos its obviously as simple as that...

Why is it when on this forum someone highlights an issue they are having there is always at least one who feels compelled to respond with an over simplistic dumbed down response as if only they were capable of such clarity and genius ???

- Don't these people realise the exceptional myopic stupidity of their reply ?

 

 

Bravo,  I was thinking the same but I dont write well enough to put it down like you. My thoughts was much shorter more like like FU!

I seriously doubt the certification of Songkran by Unesco was a green light for the leaders to get even more stupid!

Instead of actually caring about their people making Songkran 3 days nationally like BKK,  Pattaya it was already too long now 21 days!🤑

If guilty, Have him dig a big hole  down on knees along with the police who turn a blind eye put a bullet in each their heads.

All the temple and police assets go to little girl.
