It is said that Dr Prin of Bumrungrad Hospital is the go to Ophthalmologist for the rich and famous here in Thailand. I'm neither, but I put my trust in him for cataract surgery and the result was perfect. Fortunately the operation was timely as I was millimetres away from glaucoma.

That doesn't look like a frangipani to me

I'll give it a try. thanks Scottie

Thanks for your input

If you're the legal owner, I imagine that all they could ask to see is your blue book

Even Sting knew he was in the presence of greatness!

Obviously depends on the Immigration office

You You D/L a TM30 and get the house owner to fill it in

nothing to do with it. They want our TM30's updated and didn't think to tell us beforehand

I had the same thing happen to me here on Koh Phangan, after 11 years on the Island.

Oh yes you were!

They are service staff most lickly half your age Freudian slip?

Taste Atlas has a terrific website with interesting recipes from all over the World

I think you'll find that most, if not all. 7/11s have CCTV, which you can ask to see, in the event of a dispute over payment. If it's refused, you call the old Bill I

I'm so glad that this hospital has shown its true colours to the rest of the World. A few years back I was sent there by speed boat and ambulance from KP and wheeled straight into ICU having had a suspected heart attack. Along comes a nurse with a clipboard asking me to sign an admittance form agreeing to pay 68000 tbh PER NIGHT for the pleasure of staying. It was Saturday night and I asked the nurse when would I see the cardiologist. Not before Tuesday she replied, there's not a cardiologist on the Island before then. Fortunately I had recovered somewhat and was able to work out that I would be racking up a bill for 200000 tbh having my blood pressure checked for the next 3 nights while waiting for the cardiologist. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I got my gf to call a taxi and take me to the state hospital, where I spent the night. I was given the OK and discharged the following morning and the bill, including medication was less than 7000tbh. Thankfully I was more fortunate than the poor Taiwanese.

The Electricity company still does it

Especially at the 7/11 opposite the police station in Koh Phangan. Fortunately there was a policeman standing next to me when I counted my change, which was 100baht short. He waited with me while the girl who had served me returned , she had handed me my change with no bill and disappeared immediately, before I had a chance to check the change. The policeman also told me that I could check the CCTV if she didn't pay me when she returned. She paid me of course.

Digithaiz Koh Phangan.

I made my usual 90 day report online, a few days ago and this time it was rejected, telling me to visit my nearest Imm office immediately, which happens to be Koh Phangan. I took copies of my online request and receipt and subsequent rejection from Thai Immigration and had to do the whole thing again by hand, together with a TM30 with the house owner (my gf) present. As usual, there was no explanation of why the online report was rejected and whether or not I could continue online reports in future. I will just have to wait and see! I've been here almost 12 years now and haven't left Thailand since October 2019 (my last re-entry) and I've found nothing in Thailand quite as traumatic as a visit to the Immigration office.

Hardly plummeting, it's normal for there to be a bit of profit taking after a series of gains.

If you can call the Premium Bonds draw a lottery, I won £20000 back in 1998.

Looks like it was a black kite.

I took this photo today from my garden in Koh Phangan

With the aid of Browsec, today I binged on the 4 episodes of Archie and loved it. It's all on ITVx.
