Found the info I was looking for on an Expat forum in minutes and was even put in touch with an Expat in Chiang Mai with similar issues who I spoke with on Skype and was very helpful and more than happy to do so.

He will also see if the Panu Clinic is still operating and find out the specifics.

This forum seems to be filled with misinformation or just a plain lack of knowledge.

Not to mention, not very helpful.

I wonder how many members here actually reside in the LOS?

So pleased you have found the answer to your problem.

There is no misinformation provided here as you will discover when you come to Thailand.

By the way ...........................accessing narcotic drugs by illegal means in Thailand is a very serious offense.

As an NZ citizen you do not qualify for a "visa on arrival" you would however be eligible for a "visa exempt" entry.

You can obtain a 30 day VEE by taking an international flight into Thailand.

An internal fight offers nothing.

The Nok Air option you are considering will result in a 15 day VEE.

Your post is not clear. For what reason was the original B visa given ?

Have you been working at a school or studying ?

Thanks !

Always wondered about "red neck hillbillies " but did not realise they were allowed out of the Good ol US of A !

What a wonderful insight !

They do not give a reason, the only thing they advised me to do was apply for a retirement visa, the girl in Hull said it was probably because I don't go in and out of the country often enough which quite frankly is ridiculous, but anyway never again

Suspect this mess has its roots in the Hull Hon.Con being much to "friendly" for a long time.

As a result you and other genuine visa applicants have been caught in a mesh created by a few miscreants.

psykins

Are you a Thai lady and if not on what basis do you stay in Thailand ?

This may be of relevance to your husbands situation .

The UK allows one generation born outside the UK but children born overseas to crown servants working overseas (UK diplomats, service people) count as being born in the UK. The child of a one of these second class British citizens can be British if, either born in the UK or, if his overseas born British parent can show evidence of having lived in the UK for at least 3 years. But in the latter case they have to pay a registration fee of over 600 stg because they are not deemed British automatically at birth. This can also only be done as a minor. The only other way is petitioning the Home Secretary. My nephew successfully did this as a teeenager.

A "second class" British citizen ?

What exactly is one of those ?

Work, of any nature, is not permitted whilst on an "Education Visa" unless that "work" is part of a , usually, University based course.

​There is the possibility of working as a "volunteer" which requires obtaining , with appropriate paperwork a Non "O" visa and , again with paperwork, a work permit

It may help if you were able to articulate exactly what you are hoping to achieve.

Do you have a "Visa"?

Visas are never transferred.

Seems you are reading the instructions correctly.

Four sets of bound documents . one comprising originals plus three copy sets.

Amazing !

Yes, thankyou Sceptict11 !!

You are welcome

Although I dont know why I am speaking to an Aussie after you lot robbed us of the Ashes

Seems you are reading the instructions correctly.

Four sets of bound documents . one comprising originals plus three copy sets.

Amazing !

One of the worst aspects of Thailand, the band of bozos know as the " Royal" Thai police. Until more events

like this occur, with the rotten apples pitched out of the basket, the police here will continue to be the butt

of jokes around the world. Tasked with protecting the people from criminals, they use their power to in

fact prey upon the people. Sickening......

What you mean they are the same as the cops from a big western country who were videoed beating up a back guy ?

No 90 day tourist visas !

Apply in the morning receive the visa next day .

yeah srybi just saw that then

so I go to vientien

gi to thai embassy

apply 60 tourist visa

come home to chiang mai??

Would suggest you plan to stay in Vientien until you have your passport ! An overnight stay is required.

No 90 day tourist visas !

Apply in the morning receive the visa next day .

I would do it the way they say to do it. Reading info on website it seems they want each set notarized as certified copies as a set. And the originals bound as a set by notary.

Seems like an elaborate (and expensive) process.

However I agree if the OP wishes to obtain an O/A from Sydney he has little choice but to meet their requirements.

Do you have a tourist visa or are you seeking another visa exempt entry ?

If the latter and you have only one previous visa exempt entry you should be OK

Injection into the "buttock" should always be directed into the upper, outer quadrant to avoid injury to the Sciatic nerve.

There is no specific "technique" associated with injecting Nebido.

As with all intramuscular injections the injection should be made slowly to lessen pain.

You do not need an O/A visa to retire in Thailand. Is there a particular reason for making this choice ?

You could avoid all the O/A hoops !

Just ask here !

Again, I really am not questioning specific supplements when there is a specific reason. Those can be considered on a case by case basis and there is research you can do about those SPECIFIC supplements.

Talking here about the BUCKET OF STUFF pills.

The comforting comment is interesting. Yes I think that's part of it. One reason the marketing has been so effective at least in the west. I don't get the impression that most Thais take these multivitamin once a day pills.

I tend to agree with you on the multi vitamin pills. How ever that is open to a debate for which I am not equipped with names of manufactures and the content of the vitamin's in the pill. It could well be that only one of those vitamins is needed. Or with some brands more filler than vitamins.

I take Niacin for my cholesterol. I was taking lipator for over a year and it did not help one bit. I did how ever experience side affects that were unacceptable to me. That was before I got sensible and got a regular doctor here in Thailand. My doctor here in Thailand then recommended it and I said NO I was going to take vitamin B6 I believe it is Niacin. She looked at what I had found here in the local pharmacies and said it was a waste of money. She then got me some from Bangkok and I can honestly say today my cholesterol is OK I continue to take them. They are buffered and most of the time it works but occasional I do get the flush. No where near what it was when years ago I took one that was not buffered.

I also take a B compound that helps with the nerve damage brought on by my diabetes. Prior to using it the whole foot felt it now it is just the bottom of it and I can still get around like I did before I got it.

I probably get more Vitamin C than I need. But I have considered getting Beta Carratien to help with my aging eye sight.

For the all in one I feel no but for specific ones we are all metabolically different and some of us may need more than we are going to find in a healthy diet. If we are even on one. Most of us are not we eat what we like rather than studding different studies and figuring out if we are getting enough in each one of the different vitamins and supplements. Before any one jumps on it and says I blah blah blah watch my diet and study all reports and blah blah blah. Yes I admit you probably do and it works well for you. Most of us don't. At a guess 80% don't but they still function quite well.

I also take Glucosamine Sulfates. Chondroitin Sulphate plus MSM Sulphate for my knees it has made a huge difference.

In closing multi vitamins may be a waste for most but for a lot of us particularly in are aging years certain vitamins and supplements may be needed in a greater quanity than was good enough for us 30 years ago

.

You are taking the "B" vitamins for good reason and there is definitive, scientific proof to support your medication .

Sadly there is little evidence for beta- Carotene helping aging eyes and you could get all you need from carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes.

Again there is very little evidence for Glucosamine Sulfate or Chondroitin being any more effective for "knees" than any other placebo but I am delighted that you have secured benefit !

Unless you have a summery of your previous medical history together with copies of any recent x-rays/scans any Doctor will wish to start at the beginning.

One a diagnosis is made a trial of medical treatment would probably be advised before any surgical intervention was considered.

FESS is widely practiced within ENT departments.

I have no specific recommendations for an ENT doctor but someone else may point you in the right direction .

And if the office happens to be closed? What then? TIT remember.

merijn just explained

What is the question ?

You seem to be ok !

Make sure your finances are in an accessible account

Westerners caught working without a permit often have other "immigration" offences such as overstay which are also taken into account
