Sorry, this is a new one to me. As no replies in Health, let's try the marriage forum.

As the content of this thread is contrary to medical science it is moved to the "off the beaten track" forum.

An unhelpful/troll post hs been removed.

Yes this is a problem. There is no place for it on the forms. I don't know where/how you should show it. Maybe someone else can advice. Otherwise, need to ask an accountant or Revenue Office.

Ah, that makes sense then. Thanks! I had understood "Thai travellers" as meaning people travelling to Thailand.

OP your understanding is correct. Makes no difference where the property is located, any income derived from the rental that is remitted into Thailand is assessable in Thailand (assuming you are resident here 180 days or more) However if you also paid tax in it in another country you can claim a tax credit for that (or vice versa) assuming the country in question has a Dual Taxation Agreement with Thailand.

This is no longer recommended for urinary tract infections. It does still have some medical uses but quite specific ones for fairly rare situations. Would help if you indicated for what you are using/thinking of using this and in what form e.g. topical, oral etc

Is there any official (Thai government) link to this? As I cannot find it on MFA site. If true it is a substantial reduction for some countries e.g. Cambodia has been 60 days since mid 2024.

I have a friend who had to pay -- income from employment abroad that was not taxed in home country and was remitted to Thailand. Clear cut situation. Most of the posts fom people who ended up owing no tax are from Pensioners aged over 65.

In Bangkok outpatient clinics are located in hospitals. Stand alone clinics are few and mostly focused on check ups and preventive services (including WellMed). You should go to the orthopedic outpatient clinic at any hospital. If cost is a big concern then either one of the non-profits or a government hospital -- but the latter, while very cheap will involve long waits, a lot of red tape and initial language barriers so for something like this probably not worth it as a simple consultation and possibly Xray are not likely to cost more than a few thousand baht privately. Nonprofit hospitals include: * Mission Hospital near Demicracy Monument * Camellian Hospital on Thonburi * Bangkok Christian Hospital on Silom *St Louis Hospital on Sathorn Appointment can be made online, by phone or in your case can also just walk in. Tell them you need to sed Dr in orthopedics. If meds are prescribed do not get at hospital, buy from pharmacy.

At Siriraj private wing it is between 150- 200k . Not sure if available via public channel. The doctor to ask for is Prof. Sunai Leewansangtong. https://www.siphhospital.com/en/medical-services/doctor-biography?id=247

HA = hyaluronic acid PRP = platlet rich plasma

Yes and yes. But available in only a few hospitals in Thailand. Would suggest Siriraj for this.

As you were told in another thread you started, you need to see a doctor. Do not assume this is "trapped wind". Severe abdominal pain and (from yet another thread) blood in your urine. These could be signs of something serious.

You might want to compare price to Caspril which is locally made generic.

Consult a good specialist. May be time to consider more definitive ttestment e.g. laser or TURP.

Please read the thread.

6 months is a long time, longer than would be expected if the problem were just muscle related. The likely differential is between cervical spine issue compressing the nerves and a bilateral shoulder injury. I would start by ruling out the first. You will need to come to Bangkok to see a spine specialist. Get an MRI of cervical spine first and bring with you on DVD. Xray of cervical spine will also be needed. Xray is not expensive but the best price you can get on MRI is 9k at an imaging center: https://mrithailand.com/ Ask for MRI of cervical spine without contrast. There is a branch in Bang Na which is convenient when coming from Pattaya. Do not worry about waiting for report, spine specialist will disregard anyway and read the scan themself. Just bring it on DVD which you can get right after the scan. In terms of doctors, I suggest one of these 2: https://www.bnhhospital.com/search-doctor/entry/4093/ https://www.bch.in.th/find-doctor/52 Consultation plus Xrays will be around 4-5 k. Get recommendations in writing in case you want to go elsewhere for actual treatment.

To be clear, when you say "both shoulders and arms" do you mean pain is on both the right and left sides? Or just that both the arm and shoulder of one side are affected?

Yes, I have often bought fom them. They are fine. You could also just buy this at a pharmacy. Like most medications, it does not need a prescription in Thailand. Private hodpitsl mark ups on meds are considerable so except in the infrequent case of a controlled substance, best to buy meds at an outside pharmacy. I don't know which brand you got ftom Medtide but there are locally made Thai generic equivalents available.

A woman that age shoukd also have a mammogrsm and thin prep (Pap) to screen for breast and cervical cancer.

They have it at Siriraj in Bangkok Consult this doctor https://www.siphhospital.com/en/medical-services/doctor-biography?id=94

This is really your best option as choice of antihypertensive depends on many factors and overall medical history. ACE inhibitors (the class Lisinopril belongs to) do cause taste disturbances in some people. So may Angiotensin Receptor blockers, a related group of antihypertensives. Cakcium channel blocker might be an option but should discuss with physician familiar with your overall medical history.

Hiatal hernia is entirely different and surgical correction of it far more complicated than with inguinal or umbilical hernias. But rarely required.

Inguinal hernia and hiatal hernia are entirely different things. That said , no reason to assume you have a hiatal hernia. I suspect that when you say you have "bloating stomach", you actually have a distended abdomen. Which would not be relaed to a hiatal hernia but could be many other things. Together with recent blood in your urine, these could be serious signs. You need to stop googling and see an actual doctor.
