Renew 5 year Driving License, Banglamung vs Rayong
Hi All I am renewing my 5 year driving license and managed to get an appointment at the Rayong Branch end of February using the smartqueue app, I was unable to book a slot at Banglamung Office branch, was greyed out. Anyone recently renewed the driving license at Rayong and was you able to get a 5 year renewal as I have read online, that, if your visa is valid less than 1 year, you will have only get 2 years renewal, is this true ? Rayong only or any other branch ? Any experience with using the Banglamung Office as walk-in, to get an appointment ?

Dentists in Pattaya.
Same. My BP always Elevated at Dentists/Doctors. BP normal at home. It can be normal to have higher reading at these practices due to travelling, waiting etc. At home your less stressed. I went to the dentist last week to have 4 fillings, very good, didn't feel a thing. Proud Dental Clinic, Jomtien. No BP was done. https://g.co/kgs/n1RXw3z

Wise transfer lost
I transfer regular to the same person via wise to KBANK for 2 years without any issues, but for some reason, On Monday, I did a transfer of 2,000 baht and the recipient has not yet received the money. I have contacted wise who have asked for the recipients Bank statement, which I have sent to wise who will investigate. Wise app says transfer was completed successfully on the Monday. Anyone else have a similar issue with money not received when making a transfer with WISE ?

Lock changed in my condo without any notice
The Lease agreement has the owner's ID which is a foreign passport (Chinese), so guess it's why he has chosen an Agency. The new person now dealing with, planned to meet her this afternoon, so I be interested to see what happens later.

Lock changed in my condo without any notice
I took a trip to UK for two weeks with a suprise shock on my return that my lock was changed in my condo, and was unable to get into my condo, with a note in the door saying " Lock changed, please contact this phone number, agency has many problems, owner has not received this months rent, agency has run away, please do not transfer any more money to agency". Luckily I arrived around 7:00pm and not early hours of the morning, called the number on the note, the person sent the new key via motobike taxi so I was able to get into my condo. I have a 1 year contract, and have been paying my monthly rent on time each month to the agency. Questions. 1. Can they do this, enter your premises whilst you are away and change the lock without giving any notice or informing you ? 2. If you are dealing with any agency, how can you trust the agency that your rental money is transferred to the owner ? I am now dealing with some-one else, who I have never met, only line/whats app, phone number, any one else have any similar issues in renting using any agency ?

Colonoscopy
Yes, they start with you taking medicine (Laxatives), you wait for a while, for laxtives to work, bowels must be completely empty before the procedure. If laxatives don't work, they will give you an enema same day.
