    You are due what their rule book says. They don't hide the rule.
  2. Letseng
    You don't get the point. It wasn't about discrimination. Subject is people not being aware of the rule. If you bother to read the blurb when you get your pension approved then you know about it. If you don't read it then you get caught out & consider it newsworthy.

    How can you keep an address in UK when you live in Thailand other than staying for a holiday? Called cheating.
  4. Letseng
    And why is this newsworthy? DWP tells you clearly that your pension doesn't increase while you live in TH. This has never been different.

    You tell me you are not an ophtalmologist but someone who knows little about eyes & cataracts.

    My husband is 100% happy with the result (done in Bkk), I'm very dissatisfied with the outcome. I had to go back to wearing glasses but optician struggles to get it rightsince the op. I got an opinion by a specialist in Austria. He confirmed that op wasn't a success & could have been done better. 1 surgeon, 2 different outcomes.

    You are aware that Thailand will be no different to other countries if they go ahead. There is higher taxation for foreign buyers of properties in Singapore. Did it change much? No. Worldwide taxation is due to OECD rules. TH has applied for membership & rules apply.

    Have a bit of patience. Perhaps Sheryl will pick up your question, and she can point you to a specialist.

    Many ppl suffer badly & over a long period. Some never become pain free. Your experience doesn't apply to most ppl I know who had shingles.

    There 2 diff. vaccines. Shingrix is 2 shots & more effective, higher cost. Old one, Zostavax, is 1 shot, less effective. I doubt it is still used. We paid about 1600 THB I think. Look at hospital websites for diff. prices. Try Thai RC.

    I have this problem. When I had cataracts done the surgeon did not correct my eyesight for the reason you mentioned above.

    This may be. Contrast medium varies.
  15. Letseng
    Hubby was in line for one but the scanner had a technical issue. He got it done for less at Samitivej Srinakarin. Contrast fluid made it pricey even at Samitivej. Was also about 15 yrs ago.

    Unfortunately, this doc doesn't work anywhere else. He is a retd. army doc who works fulltime at Bum. Had tests once done outside but results didn't come on time for my Bum. appointment.

    Large size shoe

    Letseng replied to Why Me's topic in Bangkok

    Try Robinson Dept. store. Several folks mentioned that this is their goto place for large size. You may have to pay a bit more.

    I have no issue with the way Bumrungrad operates. I just don't need 5* service. My go to doc at Bum. is a top specialist with very reasonable fees. What kills it every 3 months are exorbitant lab fees which keep on going up.
  19. Letseng
    Even if food would be an extra it wld still be cheaper than Bumrungrad. Tks for replying.
  20. Letseng
    Tks. I'm not expecting nurses to speak English. Wasn't my question. I asked about a private wing. However, they may need to improve English skills: "Dusit Thani PCL has signed a MOU with King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society to integrate world-class medical services with luxurious hospitality at Dusit Suites Hotel Ratchadamri in Bangkok. More at https://punchmedia.co.th/2024/09/world-class-medical-services/…"

    Does Chula Hospital have an internat./private section for inpatients? I may need hospitalization. When searching on the internet it suggests a link but the link to international wing isn't on the search option. I use startpage to search. Thanks.
  22. Letseng
    Tks. A long way from my area. May worth checking out as prices at fancy Soi 3 hospital are getting unaffordable.
  23. Letseng
    Do a cooking class in lieu of remote work.
  24. Letseng
    And where is a military hospital in Bangkok?
  25. Letseng
    My regular lab tests cost more in the top hospital than what I paid in Germany for these. I hope prices aren't going up further.
