The date you need to come back on is not strictly enforced by the way. Here in Phuket they would normally never meet their own deadline to get your paperwork done so they advise to check online first if the approval is there yet before stopping by. They even made a site for that (phuket only i suppose) : http://www.phuketimmigration.go.th/cvisa.php In the past it could take 2/3 weeks extra before you got your approval past the due date. Last year they started giving "return on xxx date" 6 weeks out instead of 4 so they can meet their own targets. When i check online that my approval is in I easily take another 1-2 weeks before coming down the office. They never said anything about it. So either send your wife on the mentioned date to immigration with your passport or do it yourself a couple of days later.

A doctor has probably seen similar injuries many times before and has to rule out other causes and further complications. If you are willing to run those risks and want to draw your own conclusions then its your right. Just sign the waiver that you go against medical advice and keep your fingers crossed you gambled correctly.

I bought a 5kg bag of Thai rice in northern europe and was charged 16 euros for it. Thats over 500 baht while its 120-140 over here.

Thats like saying there are kids and women in every country in the world, so why not dump them before flying out to save the costs of the plane tickets.

Last year i figured it would be worth a shot to ask the ticket desk what an upgrade would cost. This was about 60 minutes before boardig on the connecting flight and after having received several emails in the prior weeks mentioning upgrade costs of 500 euros which increased the closer we came to the flight. At te desk they indicated that of the 40 business class spots there were still 30 available, but the price was now about triple what they emailed me earlier. Basic rule of thumb: costs of upgrade go in lockstep with the ticket prices and the shorter before your flight the more expensive it becomes. There is no last second buying of business class seats for bargain prices; they rather fly them empty then sell them to you for a discount (to preserve the optics of value).

The prices are normally only going up the later you book.

Same happened with my wife (must have been about a decade ago); it is "normal". She earned the money and will get it, but there is a delay of 3 months.

Thats correct; in Phuket i was able to book a spot about 10 weeks out while in Phangnga I could go the next day.

Might wanna consider going to Phangnga instead. Phuket has very long waiting times (at least in the past) while at the phangnga DMV they are all smiles and little waiting.

You need to eat backwards; start with dessert, then the main, and as last the veggie soup to push things through with its fibers. Fibers are good and go down well when warm in soup.

Dont forget the internal pressure at 7000 feet making it more comfy than the normal 6000 feet or 8000 feet. Its nice inbetween, but dont select the middle seat cause then you are inbetween in the wrong way

All planes are about the same as they take you from A to B through the air. Hpefully at least 55 The rest is preferences. Reading through the posts here makes me think none of you have ever been in the Air Force or experienced a flight in outer space. Neither is comfortable but you can compensate with the right mindset. Thats what they teach you in The Force (not Star Wars).

Renewed in Phangnga while living in Phuket last year. Saved months of waiting for an open spot and it was only an hour drive.
