My Thai neighbors were riding a motorcycle with a sidecar late one evening a few months back. They were hit by a drunk driver and both hit the tarmac quite hard (both without helmets). The wife spent a couple of days in the hospital whilst her husband were in a coma for 3 weeks. After almost a month at home without being able to work, he is now back at work and on his motorcycle without a helmet. I offered him a helmet, but he said helmets are so heavy, so he stick to his baseball cap.

There seems to be different experiences in different areas of Thailand. I must be one of the lucky ones, I do my extensions in Buriram and I have only good experiences. Not more than 30 minutes ever spent in the immigration office. Also, never booked an appointment, just drop-in.

Try to download the DLT app and register your details there.

You can also download the "DLT SMART QUEUE" on your phone and register and follow the instructions.

I use Buriram main IO and they insists on blue ink.

I was at Vejthani hospital, but I will check out BPH as well.

I was quoted THB 790,000.00 for a revised knee replacement surgery in a BKK private hospital. Twice the price of a hospital in India I do not believe that Thailand is a very competitive destination for medical tourism.

Last week I had a visit from the local police here in Chamni in Buriram. They took photos of my wife and I together, and my yellow book and pink ID. They said that they are going to do this on a monthly basis.???? They did not even look at my passport. Lets see what the future holds.

My card is lifelong = ตลอดชีวิต as information where others have an expiration date. My card is from Chamni in Buriram.

I totally agree!
