Exhale. Job done

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.

Where's the fine print? It's hard to believe the government will pay for country folk to use Bumrungrad or other HiSo hospitals ;-)

I recently got a notice from my Private Mail Box provider that as of Jan 1 2024 the USPS is requiring notarized proof of identity and proof of a physical address in the USA. The proof of address requires a lease or utility bill etc. I could not get it accomplished from here without a lot of hassle, so I shifted my mailing address to a friend's home. "Homeless" can register to vote in any chosen zip code. I find it strange it's now more difficult for state residents without a home to receive mail. Following this thread see what you learn.

I've been using one of these vacuum gizmo's - about 250 baht at Lazada. I use a wide-mouth mason jar (no plastic bags) and keep it vacuum-sealed in the refrigerator. This is the best method according to my Rabai/weed supplier. He advises against freezing which I've done for decades. I'd still lean towards freezing for very long term storage as I noticed some loss in quality after about 5 months in the refrigerator. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ready-to-ship-electric-mason-jar-vacuum-sealer-for-wide-regular-mouth-jar-accessory-hose-compatible-with-foodsaver-vacuum-sealer-machine-i4920394363-s20718947250.html?

This is a fantastic idea. The Thai government will save money they would otherwise spend on Thai policemen. They should soon invite the Chinese Army to protect Thai borders, and maybe have a few strategically placed Chinese political officers to help stabilize Thai politics. I think the future has finally arrived

Not even close. Think India, or just about anywhere in the Middle East

The police will be a major beneficiary of later nightlife hours. They'll be rolling drunks faster than the bargirls ;-)

WOLF!

Do you find women boring after a while? You really don't need our permission to check out the ladyboys ;-)

I did it all myself with qualifying 800k deposits for many years. I gave up jumping through shifting hoops and started using a well-recommended agent a few years ago. I couldn't be more pleased with the service. It cost less than 2% of the 800k in fees, which I recover in interest by leaving the money in my investment account in my home country.

I've found that any of the NSAIDs get less effective after a few weeks and that rotating every few weeks helped. I used to bounce between Naproxen, Diclofenac, and Ibpruprophen. Doctors have told me that should not be true and that changing meds was less safe than sticking with one. I did it anyway to ease my pain. When I started using Etoricxib, a normal dose worked better for me than a greater-than-recommended dosage of other NSAIDs. I finally had spine surgery here in Thailand - with a life-changing great result. Back pain sucks. Good luck.

Not a direct answer to your question but you might also check out a NSAID called Etoricoxib (Sandoz). Etoricoxib was recommended by my spine surgeon and is better for me than any other NSAID I've ever used. I'd never heard of it before as it's not approved in the USA. It is available in pharmacies here. Good luck.

Not until now. That's it Bob I've had enough, I'm cutting you off. Don't write, don't call me, and for f*&@'s sake stop sending me those kissy emojis on LINE 😉

He ain't kiddin' 😉

Can't be any worse than hanging out in the forum all day 😉

Such a tragedy to see well-crafted sarcasm gone to waste 😉

Of course, you can. It is required by international treaty that every manufacturer allows it. The bad news is that it cost the same as buying a new pair. The good news is that you get a free spare with every order just in case it happens again 😉

Cocaine,hookers, pizza 😉
