I understand some of the issues can be treated by people who know to reach out, and or good at what they are doing. It is more about connection than medicine. But hey, cancer? Please eloborate! 

There are two things that I would point out first and foremost. A cancerous state, is a state of discord of the organism, as are all dis-eases... one becomes dis-eased usually starting in the mind and emotions, then the body. It is vastly critical to address this first.

Much research has been and is being done that shows how the brain is affected in the areas responsible for healing by meditation. A couple of guys that I have been lucky enough to meet are Philip Golden, out of Stanford University, and out of University of Wisconsin Richard Davidson I saw some years ago at Google campus. His research showed meditation affect gene changes... if you start here, other credible information will show up in the search process. But these guys were well funded and as far as I know the research continues.

First mind and emotions...

Then, body...

Then, there are the Qi Gong practices out of China that are specifically used to treat cancers, as many cancers are considered "stagnation" of qi, or the vital life force energy. Qi Gong movements are like a self administered energy massage. There are stories out of China from the Chinese doctors that teach in western schools of acupuncture saying that, I believe in the 1980's, when someone was diagnosed with cancer, they were referred to a teacher of Tai Qi or Qi Gong to practice for six months and only after completing this could they return to the hospital to see an actual doctor. Most were cured...

Look for "Dragon and Tiger Qi Gong" ..... my teacher Bruce Frantzis learned it from a master doctor in China... I do not teach it currently, but would if someone truly wanted. This Qi Gong is supposedly renowned for dealing with cancer, although I have no such personal experience.

As for Doctors... if I have anyone close to me, I send them to a man in San Mateo, California. Jeffrey Mah is possibly the most kind hearted and humble doctor I have ever met. He is on staff at one of the major hospitals in the SF bay area and has his office there. He is, in my opinion, the cancer treatment specialist in terms of Chinese Medicine. He will work with those that are using Western treatment protocols to assist, and will treat those that do not wish to use western methods. His prices are very low compared to western treatment methods. Search Consotherapy... Also, Five Branches in Santa Cruz is a school and full of useful resources for any disease that Chinese medicine can treat.

I would also recommend a movie that has an interesting twist involving cancer and a total remission using Tibetan tummo tantric meditation practice... worth a watch...

See the movies, documentary, "The Beautiful Truth"... not Chinese medicine, but specific to cancer and worth a watch. It refers to the work of a Doctor named Max Gerson and his therapies from around, I believe the 1940's...

First the mind

Then the body....

Remove the things that cause the dis-ease

then treat the dis-ease

the root must be treated... it's like pulling weeds from the garden

a recovery is then certain...

I hope some of this is useful. Late now and has been a long day so I may miss something that I would other wise go into, but feel free to PM me if anything...

All the best....

You're very angry for a "transcendental dude" who wants to bring joy and karma to this retched world. Now get back to your yoga mantras and wrongheaded mysticism, there's a good chap. Thai Visa patrons will seek their bliss in the soi's of Bangkok and Pattaya ... namaste to you good Sir!

 

NB. The bulk of Einstein's theories remain valid, and are proved in scientific experiments over and over again ... he just lost the quantum debate ... I'll let him off with that.

The quantum debate is everything... without it, the rest is pointless... The quantum field is where it all comes from... get that wrong, you have it all wrong... !!!

Hi, I sell used cars and I consider myself a connoisseur of the industry, first thing to know when buying a used car in Thailand is that the value here is much higher  than in Western countries, if a car of 15/20 in Europe / West is to be scrapped, here is a price and is not low. This is good, not just bad, because even when selling lost value it is never too much. Second thing to keep in mind, jap cars are worth more (in relation of course) because they are easily repairable (Toyota and Honda better) and by all the mechanics around the Thai and cheap. Third factor, the mileage and the number of owners, which greatly affects the purchase of cars used in the West, here is irrelevant, and in my opinion rightly (a car may have been mistreated by 1 owner or have been held maniacally by 5 ), I give you an example, for my wife I found a soluna with 18 years and three owners (women) with 67,000 km original, the car is like new! (I know what I buy). I do not agree with those who advise you to buy ex taxi, leave it alone, except that the booklet is indicated and very few thai will want them (and there will be a reason if they do not want them either) are cars broken, with over millions of km they will need continuous repairs, for sure.

Regarding the auctions, ... what to say, probably those who have suggested there has never been, apart from the necessary knowledge of the Thai language, are crowded with traders, prices are often higher than those of individuals who sell, for the simple reason that traders do not earn on the sale, but on the financing they make, moreover they can not be tested.

Finally a suggestion, for the price you are looking for, you can also find good cars but over 20 years, with automatic transmission they cost more and more, depending on what you need. Mazda is good in the latest version, the 323 was built on a laser ford base, leave it alone. Nissan sunny always has problems with the engine supports and the electric system, they cost less than Honda and Toyota but the parts are harder to find (for cars over twenty years). In conclusion, it will not be difficult for you to find cars at that price but you will have to settle for a lot and you will have to be lucky to find one that will not always take you to the mechanic.

sorry for poor english 

Very well said ... do you happen to know anything about a 1998 Kia Sportage? I have heard good things but know little about the Kia personally. A good indicator for older cars is usually how many of them do you see on the road? This method always tells the true story of a model. I have seen several but never talked with anyone who owns one. Any knowledgeable advice from you sir  or anyone with first hand experience is appreciated.

The legitimization can take some time to get done since it has to done at a family court since your child will not be 7 years old.

I suggest you have a look at this topic for info about it. https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/381917-how-to-gain-parental-rights-as-a-father/

A work permit is not tied to your permit to stay in the country. You could get it with the non-o visa and if needed the 60 day extension of the 90 day entry.

You can keep getting new one year extensions year after year without needing a new visa.

 

Yes, I have seen this previously in some of your posts regarding the topic but just reread it now, giving closer attention to the relevant details. I will weigh this option and see how things move forward. As always Joe, thank you for your selfless giving concerning these matters for those of us that have less experience and knowledge. You are a gentleman... many thanks.

You can get a work permit with a non-o visa or extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai.

Thanks Joe... what I am trying to wrap my head around is the extension portion if only a 60 day without the legitimization and the work permit. When the child is born, I will have the birth certificate and tabian bahn, can get the initial non-O, and then begin the paperwork to legitimize. Now, if all goes well and that is done then no problem, get the work permit on the 90 day visa and then extend for one year, because now there is legitimization paperwork. But, supposing that paperwork does not clear and I am forced to only get the 60 day extension but now have the WP, how is that situation handled, being that I would be working with a one year contract but do not as of yet have the paperwork to show the child is mine and cannot extend for a year? How to handle this WP/extension hypothetical situation, should it arise?  I am weighing the schools non B visa against this option and it is looking like a better choice for me, but I must factor in the legitimization aspect as well.... and then on the one year ending, a new visa is required or can the first one be extended for another year?

Hi, as Joe states without the legitimay the max we can do is non o 90 days and then extend at local immigration for 60 and I believe you can redo that whole process immediately with the only thing you need to factor is if crossing by land border the max you can do inside a 12 month cycle is 2. Jan 1st to Dec 31st being the calendar basis.

I see.. this is good info.. thanks again...

He like you cannot apply for the year extension because he not the legal father of his child by way of marriage or legitimization of his parenthood.

You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your child at a immigration office for any type of entry.

I see... so with legitimization after the birth (very soon) within the initial 90 day window of the visa, then a year extension CAN be applied for, but without legitimization only 60 days? I think I understand the differences now... And with this visa a work permit can be applied for by the school, is this true? And with only the one year extension would be my guess as well? 

Just now, Rc2702 said:

No bank statements required.

No other proofs than BC and tabien bahn for child. All docs listed is all that you need.

 

Done same report in aug/Sept 2017. No changes in docs since then and widely discussed on here that vientiane is the easiest place to get the non o with minimal docs.

 

 

Thanks again Rc... I have done endless amounts of reading and somehow your post is the first that I have seen with this ease of acquiring the O for this purpose... so again, thanks for sharing.

One further question, if you did the same in aug/sept 2017 why again so soon? Do you not extend that 90 day O for a further year? I am still learning about this so your help is very much appreciated...

Financial proof is not needed to get a single entry non-o visa in Vientiane.

Only immigration requires proof you are the legal parent of your child when applying for one year  extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai. Embassies and consulates do not ask for it to get a non-o visa.

Great to know this Joe... thank you again... I will re-evaluate my situation based on this info... many thanks...

Thanks for this Rc, but I do not see any mention here of proof of income or bank statements... not required!?!?  Also, you state that you are not married and I see no mention of additional proof that the child is yours, only the birth cert. Is this also accurate or am I missing something? This seems much simpler than I have read on here previously. Thanks again for your post...

It;s all pretty simple really,

 

If you go whilst there is a queue and the number being called is before your number then you will join that queue and you will receive your PP back when your number is called

 

If you join the queue and your number has already been called and you missed it you will wait until everyone in the queue has been processed then collect your PP unless you push in or someone let's you in the queue and the Embassy staff accept this

 

If you go late and there is no queue you simply present your ticket and they will give you your PP

 

So in effect it is both a queue number and a number that is assigned to your PP to make it easier for the Embassy staff to process quicker

 

Now I have explained it in simple terms I expect another 4 pages of comments calling me wrong 

 

I'm going for 8 pages on this thread, any advance on that? 

Oh well, since you put like that and "Now I have explained it in simple terms"  and obviously what you are looking for is to 'be right" why would anyone deny you of that?

" I expect another 4 pages of comments calling me wrong"  

No need for another 4...  darrendsd IS RIGHT !!!  

There, how's that?  I will now yield and allow you the ultimate last word and we can all pack up and go home now... Thanks to all for coming... darrendsd is right... he wins...

As far as I know there is no limit on how many non-b visas you can get.

You might though be questioned as to why you need a 3rd one.

Joe,

May I ask also, as I have been scouring the forums to find full information on the B Visa/Teaching/Extension process as well as what happens if staying in Thailand but switching schools during break and how to handle the switch. In other words, if having a B visa and work permit tied to a contract in one school but the need arises, for what ever reason, to change schools... is one required to leave the country or can the visa be extended based on a new contract, etc.  Visa/work permit/contract dates and in a nutshell, what needs to be known about it all?

Also, what is the 90 day process? Leave country and reenter or report at Immigration. 

You are always very helpful and your knowledge and assistance is greatly appreciated.

SW

would you mind elaborating on that reference, as I am not familiar... many thanks...

If you apply through Search that shouldn't happen. I don't think they accept schools that are paying teachers 40k/m.

"155,000 tonnes of coal from the US" thats the equivalent of about  7 million usd which is a joke

Being purchased by Siam Cement and considered only a "trial lot". Seems it is considered to be similar quality as  Indonesian coal used in cement production. Could lead to a longer term deal, apparently.
