Thanks for the input, Mike. Hopefully I will avoid this!

I have stage 3 haemorrhoids, those similarly afflicted will understand. Does anyone have any feedback on treatment in Chiang Mai?

I have read that the Rafaelo technique is effective.

Does anyone have any experience of this or alternatives?

I would like to do some wood turning and would be keen to find a facility with woodworking equipment, wood lathe, band saw, etc., which could be used at an hourly/daily rate. I am aware of the Makerspace near Thapei Gate, but it's lathe is currently non-op.

Alternatively are there any other like minded people that would be interested in getting together and starting a co-operative?

I used to use 3M filter material on the aircon, but aircon fans are quite expensive to run and the filcrete does impede airflow. I found it best to buy 2 standalone Sharp filters. put one in the lounge and one in the master bedroom and leave them running on low 24/7. Change the filters every 6 months or so (approx. 200 THB from Lazada) and give the intake side a run over with the vacuum cleaner now and again.

Works for us!

Has anyone had any experience of having laser surgery for haemorrhoids in Chiang Mai?

Has anyone had experience in ordering Creon online from overseas for delivery in Thailand?.

The Red Lion does an acceptable liver and onions with bacon and mashed potatoes.

Has anyone had recent experience of the passport renewal service offered by VFSGlobal. and if so, any guidance would be appreciated.

Recently bought a couple of bedside cabinets online which arrived short of some fixings for chipboard as pictured. Does anyone know where I can buy in CM?

Tried Mr DIY in Airport Plaza, (which have a small selection of actual DIY items and a load of <deleted> you can get virtually anywhere!) with no success.

Moving soon and my wife has decided to part with her lace making tools.

We have bobbins and lace making pillows (flat and standing)

Anyone interested?

Suggest you try the Chiang Mai Dental hospital on the S'highway between Maya and the 107 junction (S side). On G map as Chiang Mai hospital.

BKK Bank ATMs seem to be down! Have tried a couple of machines in CM but just say "Transaction Cancelled"

Does anyone have any info on this?

Gonzo, I think you need to stop drinking the rubbing alcohol!

You can find resin and moulds on the internet very easily. Lazada for the resin, Banggood for the moulds.

I saw a couple of tables on a post on this site this morning with a couple of tables showing very atractive health insurance rates. They are not of interest to me but a friend who could have a problem was interested when it came up in conversation.

Can anyone help me locate this post?

Looking at the historic AQICN site data is quite interesting.

Unfortunately I cannot find any year on year data that would indicate long term trends.

I feel that recent guidelines from civic leaders regarding ways of minimising the effects of the forthcoming season by hiding indoors with an air purifier to be of concern. Sounds like they've given up any attempts at prevention!

When I lived in Singapore I used to buy Baby Kai Lan a lot, taste almost like spring cabbage in the UK, but have had problems finding it here. Have recently found what they call "brussel sprouts" in the packed veg section in Tops. looks like about 10 small cabbages in a tray with a "My Choice" label. Not bad but tend to be a bit nibbled! Suppose that might mean no pesticides!?

Travelling next month. Can anyone please confirm that the re-entry permit service is still operational and in the same place as above?

Cheers.

I have a non-o "retirement" visa.

I last entered Thailand on the 10th Oct '15 and am booked on a flight out on the 7th Jan '16.

This makes it exactly 90 days in LOS including day of entery and departure.

Am I going to have a hassle at the airport?

A medical certificate is stated as a requirement when replacing a one year licence with a five year.

Does this have to be obtained from a hospital, the same as when originally applying for the one year licence?

If so, which is the easiest?

Pork is so cheap here I cannot believe that someone would compromise on the quality just to save what is literally a few baht. All our pork is purchased from a farm that gets it supply from the villagers, the pigs seem to have the free run of the land and when they are slaughtered they are stunned with those electric headphone things first. The farm then hangs the meat in walk in fridges for two days before it goes to be sold. The combination of happy, mostly free range pigs and a couple of days hanging makes a huge difference from the stressed out pigs that provide the meat in many places

And here is?

It takes ten working days at immigration, but no cost.

Form can be downloaded on the internet, see main TV Visa page.

Need form, 2 x photos, proof of residence, (I take a letter from my landlord) and photcopy of passport pages (main page, last entry stamp and departure card)
