Bangkok Mandates Grease Traps for Eateries to Prevent Flooding
GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
A properly designed sewerage system is supposed to self cleansing. Hopefully Thailand will catch up one day when they install new systems throughout the cities and towns. -
U.S. Voices Concerns Over Thailand’s New Tech Crime Law
GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If I provide a paid for service to anyone should I not be responsible if that service is used to defraud someone. If you provide a service you should be responsible for it. Sorry banks, True H and the others. -
Thai Court Annuls Decades-Old Rule on Student Hairstyles
GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So will the schools have the lady boys, potential and otherwise, having longer hair and the Toms with short back and sides. -
It an be a time limited offer. Over the years it has worked sometimes. at others I am not sure what they charged as True does not give a detailed usage for pre paid.

Give the kid a chance. Take him to an ophthalmologist (not an optician) to find out what is really wrong and needed. To live the rest of his life with bad eyes is a serious setback.

If the road is unsuitable then why would the bus be using it? We live on a semi rural road that can barely cater for a vehicle travelling in each direction but we have these double decker buses all of the time and any car travelling in the opposite direction has to move off the road to let them through.

No tax on Aussie pension
GreasyFingers replied to Chris BKK's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
That has been my understanding as well. I receive a State Government pension for a deceased wife. Their paperwork says it is tax free unless over a high amount so I assume it cannot be taxed in Thailand either. -
Don, the doctor called the injection Bevacizumab, that I believe is Avastin so maybe you can check. My MAD had stabilised from the last injection so he gave me the option of having two more injections four months apart, or not having one last night and checking with him in three months. The second option was easy to accept.

The bell is the best thing to do if it is loud enough but the cats here lie in wait for the birds and squirrels so even if they had a bell the birds would not hear them until too late.

What has the skin got to do with it. Razors remove hair, not skin.

The BIC replaceable blade razor does the job for me, at about 1/3 the overprice of Gillette.

While sympathising with the OP on his loss, and we have a similar dog problem, we also have a problem with the neighbours cats roaming free. We feed the small native birds and squirrels and encourage the native lizards (not jing jok or tookay) that eat the insects in the fruit trees. We are daily chasing the cats lying in wait for the birds, squirrels and lizards, so they are a bigger problem than the dogs and their sh#t. So I hope the OP keeps his cat(s) secured in his own yard so they do not eat the local wildlife creatures in the neighbourhood.

I have been treated by Dr Kanin who runs a sort of private after hours clinic at the hospital after 5.00pm, along with other doctors. They are usually very busy so you usually have to wait a couple of hours to see him. The contact number is 085 555 2500 to go through the general registration to make an appointment. There is information on their web site but can be a bit tricky finding what you want in English.

You need to search around for prices. I pay about 5000 baht per injection at Narsuan University hospital in Phitsanulok or in the public hospital in Phetchabun. That equates to a similar price in Australia after the Medicare rebate. The injections might sound scary but they are very simple with minor irritation afterwards.

That is a high retaining wall so would probably need to be buttressed. A couple of years ago I had a 28m x 0.2m wide x 0.9m high wall done for around 130,000 baht but you are not going to be anywhere near that.

@Sheryl is correct. It is not an operation and recovery to have unless absolutely necessary (speaking from experience).
-
Maybe at your hospital but as I said above it is possible in our local.
-
Interesting that you should say that. I was having blood & urine test done every year at Khao Kho hospital outpatients. It was about 1300 baht but maybe they accepted me as my wife was done at the same time. I now go to a small private hospital in Lomsak as spending all day waiting around at KK was not my idea of fun.

Thai Casinos: Haven or Hazard for ‘Grey’ Chinese Money?
GreasyFingers replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Casinos are good for some people and bad for others. There is so much "illegal" betting going on in Thailand with the profits going to the wrong people. They should just legalise gambling with a 20% turnover tax, no deductions for expenses. Harsh penalties for the miscreants. Major Entertainment complexes are not the answer for the people that like to have a little (or big) flutter.
