Sounds like telephone zombies around the BTS and MRT. Blindly bump into something(someone), and change direction. 

YouTube. Many ingenious and hilarious DIY rat traps to enjoy. 

My U.S employer just announced that they are switching all company phone numbers over to Zoom telephone. No more hand held phones, it rings on your computer. Maybe this will solve your problem? I haven't checked but it could be a solution.

USAA sends me the security code to my US Skye Number.  However, I do pay $6.50 a month to have a specific US Skype Phone number. 

I thought about using this option also. But the price was a little high. Now I just use my sister's number and she texts me with the security code every time she gets it. 

I had a cyst the size of a pea removed from my hand at Bangkok Christian, about 7000bht (other private hospitals wanted 30,000bht). None of that nonsense you described. The price included biopsy, and a return in 10 days for stiches removal. Great job. 

Why planning 3 meals a day? As my uncle always said, "I eat when I am hungry, sleep when I am tired, and wake up when I am rested."

Now doctors are promoting the benefits of intermittent fasting. Keeping your food intake to only 4-6 hrs per day. We all need carbs, but the excess consumption is making everyone fat. I currently don't eat until lunch and feel great.

Also, don't rule it out. I have seen similar on TV where it was a fly larva growing under the skin. Mostly occurs in Africa, but worth taking note. 

I have used 005 which is supposed to be one of the cheapest. Very satisfied, but sometimes quality is hit and miss. Also Skype, which I have been most happiest with when connected to WiFi.

I stopped going to Major for this reason and only go to SF Cinema City. They still take cash. The prepaid cards always have money left over you don't use. Vote with your feet. 

I have used AIG a few times when traveling to the U.S. Signed up online. Reasonable prices.

From your bank's online app. Assuming that you have a Thailand bank account, you can add the electric company to your bill pay list. Free and easy.

Deserted. Ever since Covid-19. You can even get a seat.

I had my lower lids done by Dr. Greechart at Yanhee. Not sure if he is still there, but you can check. I am extremely satisfied with everything except for the long wait to see him. He is very popular. In fact, after a month when I saw him, I said he could have removed more skin, but he basically said "Not worth the risk, you can always do it again."

As someone said above, it lasts a few years. Maybe in 10 years you will want to do it again. That's growing old, nothing lasts forever. Good luck.

I agree with others that your prospects are grim. Little hope for you unless you are over 50, and you can then convert to an extension based on retirement if you meet the criteria.

Yok Yor Cruise. It is toned down for a more local crowd.

Saffron Cruise. Very high-so for a more sophisticated crowd. Dinner jacket type of cruise. No thumping base and screaming dancing girls. 

Traffic noise is something to consider. I prefer a quiet soi. Can't sleep with loud motorbikes and cars.

Be forewarned. People have been arrested and deported for this without the proper VISA. Welcome to Thailand. 

I would leave and tell the owner why. Even requesting I.D's from family and friends is inappropriate.

Borax (Lazada), + sugar. A little stove top heat to melt together. Dip in some cotton buds and problem solved. Trust me. They never came back.

That said, many septoplasties are unnecessary and you should indeed get a second opinion -- especially if the symptoms that trouble you have not been life long.

 

Most septal deviations are aysmptomatic and what frequently occurs is that someone develops symptoms from other causes (allergy, pollution - especially in Thailand), sees a doctor for it, learns for the first time that their septum is deviated and wrongly assumes that correcting the deviation will solve the problem. They then have surgery only to find that the problem persists.

I like Sheryl's advice. I have had a deviated septum my whole life, I deal with the symptoms daily, but I didn't know this was a problem until someone told me it should be a problem. 

I got it after moving to Thailand. Less alcohol, going back to at least 50% western diet solved it. More pasta, dairy, all those less spicy things made it go away. The doctors gave me videos to prove it. 

Video chat with the doctor works pretty good. I did that when my girl was in the hospital. It was her idea to show her sincerity. Doctors normally can speak English, even government hospitals.

My friend applied a few days ago and got rejected as his ASQ booking waas for 14 days, he was told to re-book for 7 days, so it all looks good.

 

Great news for those of us who travel in and out a lot.

I am finishing my last few days of 14-day quarantine. Beware if you arrive before Oct 1. The hotel told me that I cannot be let out of quarantine on Oct 1 because I was booked on the 14-day program. 7-day quarantine applies only to those who will arrive in October.
