Grusa

Driving from Kanchanaburi Town to Sai Yok Noi last week, there was on the right a huge brightly painted tiger head, at what I take to be the site of the Tiger Temple.

Is it still open, and does it still have tigers? If so......disgusting.

inbound immigration still requires screening by officers for security reasons.

Is there any other kind?

Of course, you can't believe everything you see on the internet so some basic cross referencing and critical thinking skills are required.

Well, I could be hit by falling space debris too, but I choose not to worry about it.

Have you ever heard of anyone who faced jail, deportation, fines, or blacklisting when their only misdeed was using an agent in this way? No, I haven't either 

To which I can only say

............yet!

Simple math. Agents charge about 12,500/year, which is 1.6% of 800,000.  Thai banks pay almost no interest, and most of us can make a bunch more than 1.6% on our investments in our home country. Using an agent in the province where you live has been the best practice for as long as I can remember to avoid the problem the OP encountered. Nothing new here. 

Pity about the potential jail term and/or deportation, not to mention fines and blacklisting.

Definitely do nto take or apply steroids!!

 

Are you certain it is a stye and not some other type of growth? Is it red and painful?

 

If it is a stye, applying hot compresses and antibiotic ointment (after first cleaning with saline) usually clears it within a week or two but if not sometimes have to see a doctor to have it incised & drained

 Maybe not the case here, but.....If it is red eye, it is essential to differentiate between infection and acute glaucoma. Most GPs are not adequately trained to make the distinction, or deal with many eye problems. Many patients have gone essentially blind before the correct diagnosis is made.

I well remember as a pre-registered student in uk, going into a pharmacy to buy diagnostic drugs for my practice. The pharmacist was sporting a red eye, in considerable pain, but had no idea what was wrong. He was self-medicating for an infection. I told him it was clearly not an infection, and he required urgent ophthalmology.....now! Off he went, I was right, and he thanked me in due course...

It is also important to differentiate between viral, microbial, and amoebic infection. The treatments are quite different, and the wrong one could blind you.

Asking the security guards' wife, or AN members, is not a very safe option!

"For the time being, both sides will be treated with equal fairness, said the commissioner"

How long is "for the time being", one wonders...............

These work extremely well, and are non-messy:-

You can get them in Makro, in a fancier package.

The only problem is, if you don't remove the corpses, they will smell for a week or so!

I have said this before on a similar topic.

When I first visited Lopburi some 15 years ago, and noticed all the bars on every shopnouse level I thought, Burglarly must be rife here!.

After a year or so, I realised, Monkeys are rife here!

What does that say about Bangkok?

A booking.com, google maps, agoda or similar link to her establishment might be useful. Once the present kerfuffle dies down I would seriously consider supporting her establishment with my patronage, were I in the area. Others may well feel likewise..... but not to the point of putting any effort in to it!

(My search proved fruitless......!

If pattaya did die. where would be the next best place ?

@Sommaz on 2008-10-13 10:47:57:

Heaven of course.

 

However, if you want a quieter beach but nearer heaven, stay at Ban Amphur or Bangsalay. Along the coast south of Pattaya are some really nice places.

 

 

Shhhh..... don't tell everyone, or they'll all come!

Bash it hard on the top while pulling the door. Electronic lock is gravity based and can be opened easily. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang and it's open.

Plenty of how to videos on YouTube.

 

True this. Works every time.

20 baht/kilo seems very expensive for a bulk export. 

Is it possible to de-register a sim? I must have had at least ten over my years here, only three still extant.

Did the captain file a fright plan?

"Traffy Fondue" application. Who thought that one up?

I have  Thai acquaintance  who was in charge of Supply Chain for a well known and respected Thai fruit juice company. The company claims "sugar free" or "no added sugar" on its packaging. She was buying in 20 tonnes of sugar per month!
