Anyone else have this issue. The last few months trying to pay as usual with Thai debit card on the website the order gets instantly cancelled by Shopee. Immedietely go onto phone and put the order through again using the same payment method and it is accepted.

I think Phuket has had enough bolstering.

I always thought it was because they're to cheap to pay for an oil change or maintenance. Wouldn't surprise me though if they actually think it looks cool given that a white ute covered in silly stickers with a cheap exhaust is considered cool here.

It's a strange relationship. On one hand we have Myanmar turning Thai Navy boats into into swiss cheese with machine guns and flying attack jets around the border. On the other hand we have Thailand inviting the Generals over for dinner in Bangkok and saying mai pen rai.

ohhh nietttt

We are blessed in Thailand that we can get cheap blood tests at labs in most provinces without doctors referrals. If you want to check for Haemochromatosis you can go to a local lab (Krabi - https://maps.app.goo.gl/F4ZrRouz9fCbXwSL9 ) Request a Ferritin test. It should be around 500 baht. If this is in range then it's unlikely you have Haemochromatosis and are loading Iron. If it is high I would then ask for Serum Iron and TIBC tests (about 500 baht each also). from these 2 tests you can calculate your Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) by Serum Iron / TIBC × 100 = TSAT With high Ferritin alone it's worth taking the results to a Haemotoligist. However if the Serum Iron and calculated TSAT are also high then it's a stronger indicator. If the Doctor suspects it they should take some blood and send it to Mahidol University genetics lab in Bangkok for DNA testing to confirm it (This test is more expensive). Of course you can just go to to the Hospital in the first step but you will pay inflated prices for the same tests and have to convince the doctor to do it in the first place. I have had good experience with Haemotoligists in Bumrungrad and Bangkok Pattaya Hospital and terrible experience with the one available person in the whole of Phuket.

Used to have a "suicide tree" in the garden at lumpini naklua. The fruit looks quite similar to mango except with bonus cardiac arrest.

I dunno. My tolerance for poor driving has gone through the roof living in this country.

Or just go to Red Cross 5 days a week. https://maps.app.goo.gl/NhxjZs3HEGsXqTZPA

Good luck with that. The West side is open water with no protection from swells. Common over low season.

The future is here. Give the marketing team a raise.

Flights to surrounding countries are cheap and not much different. Personally I would rather fly to anywhere and make a nice weekend of it than go through one of these visa run ordeals again.

Thanks for this. Confirmation it's a waste of time and bureaucracy is same as always.

He's a busy boy this Trump. I can't recall seeing a politician getting so much stuff done in such a short amount of time, ever.

This is throwing your money away. Better off donating it. You have a good visa already. Just carry your documentation with you incase it is requested which is unlikely.
