And Udon Thani it would only be 30 days unless you go in 30 days early for the extension, then you have to wait 60 days to get your permanent stamp. -
Did Joe Biden really get this much wrong during his presidency?
fittobethaied replied to Rimmer's topic in Political Soapbox
The best way to answer that question is to ask "what did he do right"? And the answer is "nothing"!!!! -
I have been "awake" for years ever since the truth came out about the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the assassination of JFK and Martin Luther King and 9/11 just to mention a few. I will never again trust anything the US government tells me, and I will question every narrative they come out with. When you notice they are "pushing" a narrative and the mass media is parroting that narrative, you can bet your bottom dollar it's a lie. Did anyone not notice that the number of flu and other viral infections suddenly disappeared when Covid came along. Normally, 100's of thousands of people die each year from the common flu, so it stands to reason that anyone with flu was being labeled as a Covid patient. There never was a so-called Covid pandemic, and nobody was given a vaccine. They were given an experimental gene therapy that destroyed the immune system, and the pharmaceutical companies knew all along that it didn't prevent one from getting the virus, nor did it keep the virus from spreading to others, and it certainly didn't cure anyone. Everyone who died of any co-morbidity issues was labeled a Covid death, and the hospitals were compensated big money for any death that was reported as Covid. It was all a scam!

This is a new scam going around the US, especially now that Christmas is upon us, but it could easily spread to Thailand and the rest of the world: Beware of Brushing Scam! A recent scam has been showing up in many states. We have not had any local reports but want to make residents aware before you are victimized. A "brushing" scam is when someone receives an unexpected gift or item not ordered in the mail from a place like Amazon or other company. Examples of gifts include, rings, bracelets, necklaces, Bluetooth speaker, etc. The gift will have the recipient’s address but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift. Once the code is scanned, all the information from that phone will be sent to scammers. They receive all access to the phone. All personal and financial information is accessible to the scammers and often the victim's bank accounts are drained. The gift can be kept or thrown away, but the QR code should NOT be scanned for any reason. QR code scams are nothing new. These scams show up in all places, including parking meters. Inform your family members about the scam and avoid scanning any unknown QR codes included in the package.

I am really surprised that these private hospitals have been allowed to charge these exorbitant prices without posting prices or at least giving quotes for services and materials before they are requested. Name me one other industry where one buys a product or service without first knowing the price so that one may make an informed decision before giving the go ahead to purchase? They have been taking advantage of the public for way too long, and it needs to stop. Where are our advocates who can take these grievances before the proper government authorities? Even some of the government hospitals are getting in on the scam. I was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and was charged 7000 Baht per month for medication that I must take the rest of my life. After complaining to my doctor multiple times, she made contact with a local supplier in Bangkok and sourced the very same med from the same manufacturer for 700 Baht per month, so the hospital was charging me 10 times as much for the same medication. After having lived in Thailand for 15 years and knowing what I know about the way business is conducted in this country, I would suspect that many palms are being greased all the way from the prescribing doctor to the managing director of the hospital to the Minister of Health who allows this travesty to continue unabated. Someone prove me wrong!

It's a known fact that loads of Electromagnetic Radiation comes off the Wi-Fi router. I bought a USD300 meter to check, and if I am within 5 meters of the router, the lights go from green to red and all the bells and whistles go off. If one is exposed to that for several hours per day, it will dramatically affect one's health. My desktop is connected to the internet by ethernet cable, and I use a wired mouse and keyboard. My meter gives me a safe reading that way. Ditch the Wi-Fi, and if you go with wired components, make sure you disable, not just disconnect, the Wi-Fi on your computer, else it will be sending out EMF waves looking for a connection all day.

THB35 Customs charge on package from UK.
fittobethaied replied to 5davidhen1's topic in General Topics
Careful with your rebellious attitude, Redwood! I was recently called to Customs in Nong Khai and was scolded for importing personal use meds from India for the 2nd time to treat my Leukemia. I was sent up the road to the Thai FDA to apply for an import license, and there I was threatened with confiscation of my meds and a 50,000 Baht fine and 5 years imprisonment if I attempted to import again. They denied my license since that drug is available for purchase in Thailand, although at an outrageous price. They will keep track of your name and import activity in their computers, so there's nowhere to hide. -
Do you choose where things go in your house?
fittobethaied replied to Chris Daley's topic in General Topics
Never ever give your wife/gf the authority to make decisions without your input. It sends a message that you are a pushover, and if you give them an inch, they will take a mile. My wife and I discuss all issues before we make a decision, but if there is an impasse and we can't agree, then I make the final call. -
I ordered a drug for Leukemia from India for only 875 Baht that was costing me 7000 Baht per month at a government hospital. The first delivery came straight to my home, but the 2nd delivery was held up at Custom's in Nong Khai. Customs wanted to confiscate the tablets, but my wife talked them out of it this time and paid a custom's tax plus 7% VAT. We were sent to the office of the FDA nearby to request a special license to import the drug in the future, but we were denied since there are other companies in Thailand which already import that drug. We were threatened again with confiscation but were allowed to keep that shipment; however, we were threatened with a 50,000 Baht fine and up to 5 years in prison if were ever tried to import medications again. Believe me, if you are importing meds from abroad, they have your name in their computer system, and they have the capability to keep track of your activity. It's just not worth the risk.

Filipina's Viral Video Criticising Thai Women Sparks Backlash
fittobethaied replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As someone who lived in the PI for 11 years and have now lived in Thailand for 15 years, I agree with the Filipina even though I have had great marriages with both Thai and Filipina ladies. I'm sure that my marriage experiences have been an exception to the rule. As a single man, the PI wins hands down! -
I doubt very seriously that anyone, including a rescue car or ambulance, is going to rummage through your bag looking for instruction unless they plan on pocketing your cash if you are unconscious. As has been mentioned, they will take you to the hospital that pays them the largest commission for bringing you there. So far as using your credit card, I am told by Bangkok Hospital Udon that if you are unconscious when they check you in and are unable to sign a release to use that credit card, it will be rejected. For that reason, I requested an additional card in my wife's name on my Visa card account as she will certainly show up if needed unless we are both unconscious at the same time. I suspect that nothing you plan for will ever go as planned. Don't forget...we are living in a land where Murphy's Law rules the day....."If anything can go wrong....it will."

Dude, the lyrics to that song make absolutely no sense at all. Most of the songs back then were written by people that were high on drugs, so the lyrics are ridiculous. Sure, the song is great for listening and dancing, but just don't dwell on the lyrics, and enjoy the rhythm. The lyrics are here: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/doobiebrothers/whatafoolbelieves.html However, I can tell you exactly what the fool believes. He believes there is no God! Psalm 14:1-3 reads thusly...... The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed repulsive and unspeakable deeds; There is no one who does good. 2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the children of men To see if there are any who understand (act wisely), Who [truly] seek after God, [longing for His wisdom and guidance]. 3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.
