Sad but true, maybe the need for a compulsory HIV clearance b4 entry ,although the disease can lie dormant for some time. I took a relative to hospital with HIV, after contacting the Thailand aids foundation, they told me treatment was free, they kicked me out of the hospital when I questioned the DR about this, I got treatment for him from another hospital who issued the drugs free but charged for tests and back up which was very reasonable. The drugs are supposed to be free but corruption amongst treatment providers sees them charging for the drugs, very sicko people. No wonder its spreading, also I have known people with aids ,through this experience of trying to help a relative, that ignore the infection , stop taking drugs and have babies with Gf's, very sad but was told by another rele that its up to them. Be extra careful out there its Russian roulette not to wear a condom, worse these days than a few tears ago, what will be done?? nothing I bet. In other countries it is illegal to have sex with another if you have aids and do not inform them, its a jailing offence and serious if the victim contracts HIV and will die from it.

I do the pension thing, I get verification of income from the pension department not from the bank , it is nothing to do with banks its the govt that issues your pension, so get in touch with them , i had to write to NZ foreign affairs pension portability to apply for the pension to be issued in Thailand they issued me a letter stating what my monthly income would be and the bank it would be paid into, my BK bank I had to supply them with my bank book copy and swift codes. They issued me with a letter by email, stating what will be paid into my account every 28 days. I had to get this letter verified by the NZ embassy, very simple email it to them along with the fee and they issue you with a stamped letter, immigration then sent this letter to the department of internal affairs to acquire another stamp, took about 2 weeks all in total I dont know why immigration did the second approval but they handled that and the letter was all stamped and done no problem, then they issued me a non o based on marriage to a Thai. Once I had waited for approval of the visa after using a sixty day and one month extension they asked to see my BK bank statements, the bank issued these and asked was it for visa , said yes they took a copy of PP and stamped every page of my printout and we both signed the statements, Thai immigration were very happy , no problems

This glitch will be rectified in the near future im sure.

All the world is but a stage and each and everyone but an actor

I have a couple of mates who live rural, live within their means, are enjoying life and are loved by the locals, they get well treated and respected by locals who they inturn respect.

if you read the article it seems they are well prepared with this coming change with over 9000 trained to issue prescriptions, where did they spring from???, and they are ready to roll.(new role for medical dropout students) Not much expense just change the signs to look more respectable, rename the shop a medical clinic and dress everyone in white coats, simple all over nothing will change its a lot of gobbley gook. The other question is who will monitor the THC levels if 9000 trained prescription issuers are ready to roll that means 9000 shops will be ready to reopen and 3000 will have to wait for more trainees to pass the medical school . (requirement, be able to write a prescription, take blood pressure, use stethoscope, and bingo you get your ganja)

This is a coup, it's called an incognito coup

Don't you love it how politicians laugh when they tell porkies, it's a trait worldwide for all polys.

Is the sub equipped to catch prawns, then it serves a dual purpose??

No, just a drip in the bucket

Tell that to the Irish or the Scottish or the Welsh I feel sorry for the poor guy but you are only slagging him, I hope his parents don't read your posts

Looks like it

Google stay out of it

Sinical rubbish and racist

I will give you 3 guesses who is behind this latest uprising, however I think you should only need 1

Who said he was clubbing, he's allowed to come here for a holiday, I think you're post is out of line, the poor man didn't deserve to be beaten to a coma

They want to implement measures to stop addiction, sorry addiction is never cured it's only put into remission until there is a relapse, by then the damage is done, can't see the government building rehab centers all over Thailand, the debt collectors will take care of the badly addicted by whatever force is deemed necessary

I agree this whole thing is blown out of proportion it's a coup in disguise

This is a coup incognito, led by guess who, not going to name people here might land in trouble the clue is buds

Dads wisdom is inherited

I think she will win, I also think that this is over dope shops and casinos and gettng rid of Thaksin without a coup Why did Annuitn leave the coalition at the start of this is suspect

Turning thailand into a refuge for Russians avoiding the war and making it a gunga haven for drug dealers and criminals was the biggest mistake of all times

There will be a boom in TCM Practitioners

I think the decoupling is being orchestrated to get rid of the T family and will take a bit of wizardry to get this sorted for Mr T

Chinese have to cross the border into myamer to gamble, the Chinese know what would happen if they legalised casinos in China, but Thailand wants their trade, maybe ban Thais from Thai casinos, that would stir the pot.
