helloagain

You can take my comment or leave it. Your sight is the most important thing for me, & I can tell you for sure there are good doctors and not so good doctors for sure. I had both cataracts removed at the same time and replaced with the best lens 2 days ago. I also chose to have it with General Anesthetic. If you move your eye around while they are doing it they will inject under your eye towards the back with anesthetic to stop this. With general anesthetic this will not happen. The anesthetist spoke to me first & I was able to tell him somthing that happened in the past so we both ended up confindent. I was told 90 mins to 2 hours. Before the operation my Head of the eye section for 16y would be my Doctor for the operation she said after she has done the first eye she will walk out, change her clothes & scrub up again & all fresh sterilized instruments will be used for the other eye. After waking up my eye felt prickly but within 30 mins it had gone, I stayed in ICU for just over an hour. Yes I was told cos of being put to sleep I need to stay in over night. My food for dinner salmon, breakfast I chose without doubt the best ommlet of my life, Ramsay could have cooked it & early lunch a chicken burger with fries. Everybody spoke english even the nurses & all was always explained. I have to wear glasses for a week to protect from dust, polution, water & I have to have between 8am & 10Pm sometimes 2 sometime 4 drops every 2 hours, I wife takes care of me good. I can now read number plates good, my tv is brighter, the colour pops & I can read small subtitles. It was at Phuket Bangkok Hospital Phuket Town. My Head of Dept Sergeon says my sight will improve more each day, its already WOW to what is was like. This was my 5th operation under general anesthetic at this hospital. I am not a rich person & I chose not to have insurance, I will be 71 in May. This is the bit you want to know.....TOTAL COST for everything, including 8 bottles of drops for my eyes (you do not use your right eye drops in your left eye) the hospital is very very careful about cross contamination for the first week, 260,000 baht. for good vision, peace of mind, service, hopefully a one time thing. I have done the right thing for me. The sergeon is a lovely feamale Doctor with perfect english skills & the best bed side manner as they sah, she does tell you everything. I can't thank all who were infolved enough. It will be chocolates all around in a few days time.

They can't keep on quoting covid that's long gone now. Can't phone airasia like before, my wife and I have stopped flying with them now. Trying to book with them my thai wife has given up.

all the best fighters come from Switzerland

Yes he was totally in the wrong. But what happens when its the other way round. We often hear of 2 or 3 bouncers beat up, normally quite bad a foreigner , they may or may not loose their job ? Fine, jail ? Never. Dual pricing dual standards.

Cos they need a work permit 555555

I thought the powers to be stated no prostitution in Bangkok or Pattaya

And don't forget Russians.

I think he made a fair comment

I forgot to say, my first one I gave to my brother-in-law & now its done 300,000 klms and 20y old. my 2nd the dealer almost bit my arm off & bought it straight away, (a 2nd hand car place). Isuzu are the most popular pickup to buy, service on phuket is great, free tea/coffee cake.

This is an easy question. I have had three Isuzus in the last 20 years all being 4x4, 3 litre desile. I bought my last one 14 months ago, the tech on the car is amazing. If you do a u turn but not see th car coming towards you & you go to go, it slams your brakes on. I also use a uk radio station app on my phone, pair it with the car entertainment system & listen to radio caroline (blues) which is more soft rock, amazing. Lights & wipers coming on automaticly. More brake horsepower than previous models. 1,100,000b

Hope this helps, I normally go to bed at 9.30 pm, last night I woke & got up at 10 mins before midnight. normally wake up at 2 or 3am. I sleep again around 6am for an hour. Normally have a morning kip & again around 3pm for an hour. Yes thats why I dont sleep through I gues. I am 70. But very early morning I watch a serial that my thai wifes not interested in, or surf for our tv programs.

In 20 years I have no problem with Halifax. Or offshore Skipton Gurnesey .

Just a thought, you could go to an imternational & get them to test your eyes for what glasses you would need, then take to a shop using that info. Yes doctors fee might be 2000b & they speak english.

Don't forget starting 1st Jan 2024 if you here for 180 days you become a tax resident and pay thai tax next year on what you send here. Google it.

I'm pleased it's only thais, Caucasians never got a mention.

Surely he must know people are gunning for him look what happened a few years ago. It would pay to be squeeky clean. Loose your freedom, job, pension, really ??????

Think logically, what needs to come first & that your answer. I was in a simular position with my passport & retirement visa. Your a teacher you must have a better education than me.

Spitting distance from rawai temple is a police block of flats, there cars look very nice. They are never around when it rains, nor school holidays when the 10 to 14 year olds decide it's OK to ride parents scooters on the road. At chalong circle although it's a thai country it looks to me more foreigners get booked than thai for no helmets, insurance etc. I had one police on scooter pull up next to me cos yes no helmet, so I said OFF and pointed to 2 thai on a scooter in front of me so they should be first to be booked, he drove off, THAT JUST SAYS IT ALL.

They should jail him as well

You only hand the cash over at land office when you get chanott or at lawyer for lease.

Twice a month, the rest i can't be bothered to say

100% agree with you, and I would think if they did you can sue them.

Freedom beach, is it actually a public beach like they all should be or is it a mafia beach that charges to be on their beach 555555, when its actually a public beach. The beach between Rawai & Karon there is a charge ? the navy or army have been to visit them twice over many years, they need to go again ??????

So, was sent to jail on his return after escaping overseas, only for a couple of hours then spent his time in a Police General Hospital, (cos of his illness & being over 70). Yippee no jail for me then I will be 71 soon. Something he said or done as reported in the Aseannow news a week or two ago, back in 2015/2016 the charges have been dropped. The question I ask is will he pay Thai tax when he brings his hundreds of millions into Thailand ? Looking at how lucky he is at the moment I guess not, but please can he do my lottery ticket for me this week 555555. My Thai wife told her sister last night about the coming of taxing forieners who stay here for 180 days or more. I support both my wife sister & both her daugthers, one is at Uni: already, the other is still at school she is 17 years of age & is very bright, on hearing this taxing business she said "does Thailand want retirees living here & spending their pensions here or not ? What I will be finding out about the double tax treaty between the UK & Thailand, did orginally both sides just state what they wanted & both sides just sign. Thailand just seems to be changing their rules do they not need to discuss with the UK & other countries ? Its looking like they do not. So I bet its not easy to get out of not paying uk tax on my uk pension which I will be finding out.

If it was a foreigner you would say straight away, but as you say illegally human why not say Cambodian suspect as it's by the thai Cambodian border.
