10 yrs ago, after having been here already 10 yrs I needed to supply a bank reference from my overseas bank before Bangkok Bank opened an account for a retirement visa. Other banks insisted on a work permit. Agreed, some branches were more helpful going by feedback.

Kosher cooking means special pans & no pork in your kitchen. Not just cooking without pork.

Because they are outright rude & nasty, entitled. Not just to Thais but would be towards you as well. My experience from having had to deal with them professionally.

Hamas never said this at any time. Would you not fight being oppressed by another ethnic group? That is what Hamas does. No oppression, no Hamas.

I strongly recommend to read up on history. Palestine existed long, long before there was an Israel.

What do you want to tell us? That Israelis with western roots are different/better than Israelis with non-western roots? Israeli is Israeli, both have the same faith = are jewish. Many are zionists by ideaology. This has nothing to do with their religion.

Bangkok Bank at CW doesn't give you a 12 month statement while you wait. You need to apply 7 days before at a bank branch.

We say - fill your time with life, don't fill your life with time.

Yes, once a year spend nearly a day there & every 90 days do a report. Obviously, you enjoy doing it, I don't.

You don't live in Bangkok. Takes me nearly an hour just to get to immigration.

It is hospital price. Not sure if Gracevit is available outside. I had no time to go to outside pharmacy, so just paid.

Tks for sharing your experience. My mother had a similar problem with ulcers. Unfortunately, it was a time when medical science wasn't so advanced & ulcers got treated the "old" way.

Luckily no DVT. But antibiotics which are 258 Baht/ pc 2xday.

No DVT. It was a severe inflammation caused by ? Doc's guess was abscess the way the swelling had built up. Treatment daily dressing & high doses of antibiotics. A week later skin has nearly healed & swelling is almost gone. Next step is ultrasound. Vascular surgeon Kamol Ruengthong is the doc we see. Due to weekend we saw diff. surgeons for wound dressing. All were pleasant & took an interest. What impressed me was that they took a daily photo for next day doc to see changes of the leg.

Your recommendation of Bangkok Hospital was very helpful. The doc we had seen at the hospital nr. Nana had made the problem worse which resulted in an emergency situation. Bangkok Hospital got it right immediately. Great treatment & care by vascular surgeons. 🙏

This achieves what?

Would there be a fundraiser if he had died in UK? Every Brit needs a fundraiser when in trouble. How do they have the money to come to TK?

Many thanks. Yes, I do want a 2nd opinion.

I worked in Siem Reap for 3 yrs. Best place I ever lived. But our interests are different. And it was 25 yrs ago. It was not cheap for me then, it is not cheap now. All depends on your lifestyle. Can't comment on visa as my employer did it.

Did you get treatment there for varicose vein problem?

Thanks.

Went to Bumrungrad as this was easiest & instant appointment.. Doc offhand decided it isn't DVT but just a phlebitis. Didn't want to do ultrasound. Just got medication. I'm not too happy as I have experienced different treatment in Europe.

Private as it is easier.

Tks I did consider this.
