Will this do the trick

Hello Anyone have any issues staying in rented condo's, where the bathroom smells like a sewage ? If so, how you managed to get rid of the smell ? and where the smell come from ? Drainage Pipes, toilets, showers etc.

I am travelling to England later this year, London Heathrow, last time I went with Eva (day time flight). Looking at Thai Airways (night time flight), and arrive in the morning. Anyone have a preference ? Thai Airway vs Eva. Thanks

It was a while ago when had it done, about 5 years, think around the 15-20k I paid. I am not too sure. The department is the digestive disease.

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.

Yes, and awake all the time, there is a screen, so you can watch the procedure. Most uncomfortable for me, was the preparation, the laxatives wasn't working, so they gave me an enema.

It is recommnded if you are 50+ years old, to prevent colon cancer, so doctors will recommend to have it done. I had it done at Bumrungrad Hospital, Easy procedure, a few hours, they will give you some kind of laxative at the hospital to help empty the bowels, you go home the same day. Procedure bit uncomfortable but I think worth it, as can prevent you getting cancer.

Hometown far away apparently so stayed where she was and paid the bill.

When Thai's need Healthcare treatment and they live in a different province from their hometown, can they get free treatment, can register in another province (Like we can do in the West) ? or is treatment only free if they go back to their hometown where they are registered ? Reason for the question, is that I speaking to a friend who got Denge Fever, Hospitalised for two weeks, away from Hometown and used all her savings to pay for the treatment because she was not living in her Hometown. What if have major operation, have kids that need treatment, or even have an accident ? for us expats, most of us have private insurance to cover our treatment.

My sleep routine is similar, but am in bed, by 9:00 - 9:30 pm. Awake between 4:00 to 5:00 am everyday (no alarm clock) Having this lifestyle all my life, I think down to my fathers life in the military. I am 59 years old and no health issues so far, exercise daily, swimming, weights, walking and calisthenics. Meals consist of Fish, some carbs, vegetables and Breakfast cereal with Greek Yoghurt and Fresh Fruit with Greek Yogurt. no red meat. Stay Healthy, with plenty of sleep, exercise and watch what you eat.

I am in the process of moving to another condo. When moving to another condo that you like, what do you with paying the deposits and 1st month rent. Pay a booking fee with agent then sign contract, pay the 1st month rent + deposit on the day you move ? or Sign contract, pay all with Agent before the moving date ?

Useful Information. Thank you For anyone who is British, living in Thailand, and withdrawing there UK private pension funds into Thailand, what's the situation with the double tax treaty, are we exempt ? I heard every country has different rules regarding this.

I am looking to have my eyes tested for Glaucoma, does anyone have any recommendations in the Pattaya area ?

I am wondering who you will call if you have a problem with your car ? I don't travel too far, mostly around Pattaya but occasionally travel on the highways to Bangkok, who do you call if you breakdown on the highway ? Anyone have a breakdown service, I drive a banger with 200,000 Km on the clock, but don't take too many trips.

I am looking at a nice condo place around the Jomtien area, I plan to stay there for long term Can anyone recommend any sutiable places with a budget around 8,000 baht per month. Any suitable resources that are up-to date with the latest rental properties. Looking at moving January next year. Thanks

What about Thailand ? 😀 Interested to know how much my wife will get, with a career spanning 10 years.

Thanks for the all the replies but I got funds returned all ready, same day. The reason given is that the name did not match the Account Number. I was given options to either cancel and get a refund or updated the recipient bank account details. Good to know in future in case this happens do anyone else transferring funds to Thailand using Wise and the account details are incorrect.

I transferred some money via wise to a Thai Bank Account today. The person (Recipient), made a mistake and provided me with the incorrect account number. What will happen to the transfer, will the bank process the transaction if the bank number exist but the account name does not match ? or will the funds be returned back to wise ?

As anyone replaced their smartphone battery in Tukcom, pattaya. Had my phone for 5 years, have to recharge frequently, so looking at replacing battery instead of buying a new phone. Anyone had any experience with getting their mobile battery replaced at Tukcom in Pattaya ?

You can also request for a re-entry stamp from the agency, same time when applying for the extension, you will get the re-entry & extension stamps stamped in your passport. You will pay for the extension and the re-entry when applying for the extension. That way if you have to leave Thailand for an emergency, during the period of your extension, you don't need to worry about applying for a re-entry.

Anyone received a SMS like this from Social Security ? Scam ?

The 12 month deposit method will be for the next extension, year 2024. Immigration can check my bank statements for the deposits from October 2023 to October 2024. I will use an agency again for this year. So my question is can I transfer using Wise and do it myself for next year without leaving the country ?

Both questions are No, I plan to have 12 months deposits transferred each month as proof for the next extension. I am looking at obtaining another Retirement non-O extension but based on the 12 month deposits and not using an agency for next year, as I want to avoid agency fees each year. Can this be done without leaving Thailand ?

Yes, I will use Agency an again this time, and will use the 12 months of monthly of deposits for the next extension, to avoid the agency fees each year. If Wise is not an issue with the proof of transfers, can I do it myself for the next extension, without leaving the country to obtain another visa. I am currently, on Retirement non-O extension, expires End of October 2023. Thanks
