The body wasn't "released" it was retained for science. You say it is against Thai law, but then you say as his widow was there, it was just a formality. No Sheryl, I am not crossing swords with you, just slightly confused by Thai Law requirements, and being ok because his widow was there.

Sadly I have just had deal with the bureaucracy of losing a long-lost dear UK citizen friend. He passed away in hospital and had specified that his body be left to science. The UK embassy were not informed by the hospital. And the widow also did not inform the UK embassy. I dealt with notifying HMRC and his other UK pension providers, by writing to them on behalf of his widow, who provided death certificate and pension details. The widow asked the hospital administrator if it was necessary to informn the UK Embassy, and they said no. They said, it only really applied to someone dying at home, where the police would automatically inform to the Embassy. I am not saying that the hospital administrator was right or wrong in their statement, but merely passing on a very recent experience.

Perhaps you should have tried an Army one to be able to compare, I order to support your original comment. My last visit to an Army "cookhouse" was in the 90s. No mutton etc on show.🤣🤣 Just an amazing variety of choices. No different to the RAF station in Aldergrove that I also visited in the 90s.

What is its intended use? You also need to know how many amps are required for the device, as well as voltage.

I did mine at 6.30am this morning. But I suppose at this time of the month, numerous transfers were going through. No rush, I was merely surprised at using the same reason, produced a different time frame this time around.

I also transferred funds using funds for monthly expenses. This time it will arrive in 8 hours. Last month it arrived within seconds. Go figure.

Online Internet transfer?

With some of them, it never stops........move on!!

Well, they don't like confrontation or being challenged, especially when they have been caught out. I don't know how long they have been together, nor how strong their relationship is. But notwithstanding that, there needs to be some serious discussions. And if I was challenged in that manner, and the relationship was in the early stages, I know that it would be a simple thing to move on alone.

Perhaps, you could take your friend aside and have a quiet word with him. You obviously think his kindness or naivete, is being abused. It would be unfair of me to pass judgement on this person, and I have my own private thoughts on what I would do.

Maybe she genuinely misunderstood that she has to pay 350 baht for initial registration. You can pass on my comments, that it is not needed. As for the dental expenses, I cannot comment. But I would find it unusual to have root canal work in a child's milk teeth. He needs to ask the dentists why that procedure, if it was indeed carried out, was necessary. Milk teeth are what they are, and normally fall out and replaced naturally. Unless there was some gum disease,which needed some other intervention. But I am not a qualified dental surgeon. So, I may be commenting out of place.

No problem. As I get older I sometimes know what I am referring to, but don't always explain it fully 🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻

My apologies. You are absolutely correct. We'll spotted. I was referring to the dental cover being limited to 900 baht per year. I hope that clarifies it.🙏🏻

Here is an extract from the 30 baht scheme: The types of services that can be sought include free over-the-counter drugs for 16 basic ailments at contracted pharmacies; 32 basic medical treatments at contracted medical clinics such as wound dressing and prescribed injections; and 22 types of prescribed laboratory tests. It also covers physical rehabilitation services as prescribed by a doctor, basic dental care services, medical examinations and associated treatments that do not require hospital admission, and Thai traditional medical therapies such as massage and herbal steam.

Have you changed your bank or account recently at the Canada end?

There is no 350 baht charge to initially join the scheme. But you do indeed pay 30 baht for each hospital visit to a govt hospital. As for dental cover, that would need to be clarified at the point of a dental visit The monthly circa 430 baht scheme per month for working people, covers all medical bills in a govt hospital, but is limited to 900 baht per year. So, it would be difficult to imagine that the 30 baht scheme has much if any, dental cover. But I stand to be corrected on the final paragraph. If your friend thinks that the 1600 baht each root canal, is disingenuous, all he has to do is check the bill that he paid for.

I wouldn't know how to use it🤣🤣🤣🙏🏻

I don't think he is listening. To put an emotional post, baring your soul to a public forum, is not the sign of an emotionally mature individual, who admits to wanting to find love. If he does exactly the same with a Thai woman, when he finally arrives here, he will be destitute before he knows it. I genuinely feel sorry for him, but he seems to have his mind made up.

Obviously a long term resident(not) with copious knowledge of Thailand and experience with foreigners ( not). What a rambling incoherent, negative piece of rubbish. You need to get out more and away from your troll machine.

Keep your money private. If not, it will soon be devoured!!

Well said. And i would strongly recommend keeping your finances to yourself and not sharing them with any prospective " wife" you might consider. And as someone succinctly pointed out, you sound needy, thus making you emotionally vulnerable to the wrong sort of woman. For goodness sake take the advice you have been given and please take your time and explore Thailand first.

Visas are not transfered." After 17 years living here - I do understand that, but the original visa type is noted in the transferred stamp in pp #2, i.e., "Non-B" in my case. Hence my post, where I referred only to where they transferred details of my original visa type and entry date and original passport. There are 3 transfer stamps in total. And of course the carried forward latest extension.🙏🏻 I am on non O retirement extension, and bank books etc were not required. As @DrJack54 said, CW is slightly different

You're very welcome. Correct preparation is as you say, take everything just in case🤣🤣👍🙏🏻
