there IS another option.....
If the OP's flight on Dec 1 is very early in the day, as in the wee morning hours, he might be able, depending on his airline, to check his baggage in and go through Immigration very late in the day on Nov 30. It's a long shot I know.....but just a thought?

Where do you buy Flomax am in bkk
Flomax is sold under a different name here in Thailand. It’s called Harnal. Tamsulosin is the generic name for this drug. Available without a prescription and most pharmacies carry it. Just ask for Harnal!

No I.d.? No problem! Check his prints. They scanned them at the airport, right?

I’m happy that this topic has opened discussions regarding prostate health and treatments. For many guys, this is a topic that may have been somewhat “sensitive.” Now there seems to be a healthy discussion taking place. Best wishes to all!

I have a Capital One credit card and a Capital One debit card which is tied to a 360 checking account with that bank. Neither one requires travel notices to use here.....neither one imposes international funds transfer rates nor surcharges when I use them here. I always pay in Thai Baht and when I withdraw cash using the debit card I always decline the atm conversion rate. All deposits and payments handled online. All statements done online, too. I’ve been doing it for years now.
I use my USA mailing address for correspondence with them.

Here’s an update on my recovery.....
Im doing great. It's been a month and a week since my surgery. No more discomfort. Down to once a night trips to the john, (down from 3-4 pre-surgery). drinking about 2.5 - 3.0 liters of water every day and making less frequent runs to pee! When I DO go, the stream is strong and I empty my bladder completely.
During the first three weeks post surgery I had some discomfort when sitting for a long period or when driving in the car. The road bumps and jostles wore on me after a few minutes, but all that is gone now. I also had some experiences passing various bits of debris in my urine. I went back and spoke the Dr. Wittawat and he assured me this was normal. Everything is clear now.
So I guess I'm pretty well all healed now but I remain a bit cautious, not overdoing things. Im contemplating a return to the gym tomorrow, actually. We'll see how that goes.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me!

I faced the same issue in Los Angeles at the Thai Consulate. I took everything to a Notary and had them certified as true copies. The notary has me sign a statement that said, in so many words, this is a true copy of the original document. She stamped it, signed it and attached it tot the documents. When I went back to the Consulate with the documents that told me that what I had done was exactly what they wanted!

I've had similar issues as the OP when viewing videos attached to Yahoo articles, Fox News etc. several times over the last 2 months. The first time, I updated the drivers which didn't resolve the issues. Running HP Diagnostics couldn't find a problem. After restarting the laptop everything was back to normal. So now I just restart.
Maybe those Fox News videos were hacked by Russians and now, your computer is infected with right leaning malware! ;-)

rumak,
Sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you get past this with no lasting effects.
I consider myself lucky to have gone through a short course of Levofloxicin with no ill effect. I'm always skeptical of taking antibiotics for a long term and now, thank you, I'll be sure to steer clear of fluoroquinones altogether...

Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million indeed, and 4 out of these 3 million were coming from just one state: California!
Which means that Trump won the popular vote in 49 out of 50 states... that is if one considers the "Mexican" state of California as part of the Union...
Having said that, a Trump impeachment would send the Second Coming fanatic Pence in the driver's seat, and together with the angels of death Pompeo and Bolton, we could get WWIII before the 2020 elections... yet with Trump we will have to wait until after the elections, which will leave us a little more time to prepare...
I'm not taking sides...because I don't really care, BUT
In an attempt to inject a fact or two I offer the following:
Here's the map showing the outcome of the 2016 Election demonstrating the Trump(red)/Clinton(blue) States. The numbers = Electoral Votes by State.
So no, Trump did not win the popular vote in 49 of 50 States. Just sayin' !

There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their states. Some states, however, require Electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two categories—Electors bound by state law and those bound by pledges to political parties.

What do you mean by 4 out of 3 million?

OMG the American people had their day in 2016 and voted for a candidate that was not of the typical Washington DC establishment to get the country moving again and take on the swamp and all those blood sucking politicians.
He has done what the Americans voters wanted him to do in spite of the deep state attempts to take him out.
Facts will always Trump fiction and fake news.
Give the guy some credit for his achievements.
Mueller’s investigation, a complete hoax fabricated on the insurance policy from the deep state...
Except for the fact that Trump lost the popular vote by over 3 million. So one should say that he was put in office by the Electoral College.....but he lost the popular vote. That’s all I’m sayin’! ;-)

There is no requirement to prove the source of the 800k baht to apply for an extension of stay.
Thanks a million for your quick reply, ubonjoe.
I appreciate it!

i'm switching from the "monthly income method" to the "800K in the bank method" for my upcoming extension of stay - retirement. I have concluded that it's easier than tracking all the monthly deposits from overseas, getting statements and, well, just the annoyance of managing all the details of transferring funds every month.
I'm in Chiang Mai and have done past extensions here using the income affidavit.
Will I need to show where the money is coming from, or is it just required to have the funds in the bank for the appropriate time before I apply for the extension again ( September 15 this year)? Im transferring the bulk of it from overseas and other funds are coming from another bank account on which I am joint owner. (The fund are mine. I'm not borrowing anything!) The account holding the 800K is in my name only.

Remember the days when we had to pay 300 Baht departure tax at the airport upon exiting the country? The fee was then added to airline tickets’ price too make things “easier and quicker for departure. I wonder where THAT money goes??

Has your body had any side effects from this antibiotic ? One other poster said he was cured of his problems by taking it (against drs recommendations)...... and BritMan is also taking it. I was going to try ciprofloxacin for a month as it is similar and I did take it long time ago for stomach pain. There is a possibility for some (like myself) that the problem is bacterial prostatitis that is the real issue. Difficult to
diagnose and doctors don't like to go that route it seems.
I haven’t had any side effects from levofloxacin. I’ve only been on it for 10 days with five more days to go. I’m not happy about taking any antibiotics for a long term because they may lose effectiveness for me in the future. Bacterial prostatitis can be diagnosed in a lab. At least it was for me many years ago. See what Wittawat has to say.......

WalkingOrders ... Uh no. I am perfectly fine with my SSA money coming directly to my Bangkok account no. 1 (restricted) which I then transfer into my Bangkok Bank account 2 (unrestricted). Thank U anyway.
My comment deals with Bangkok Bank's new alternative to the old ACH transfer to its New York Branch, called "Thai Baht Remittance Service" which allows transfers without the IAT transfer protocol. I have sent them an email but was wondering if anyone has already investigated this process for transferring from my (any) US banks to my Bangkok Bank account. You should have received a letter (see ref above) with the details and status of their (private not gov't.) transfer options.
Please keep us posted on how this is working out for you. Thanks!

Sorry for the large font below.....can’t figure out how to make it smaller
Hi folks,
Here’s a follow up from my earlier posts about my Thulium laser surgery (ThuLEP)
I went to see Dr Wittawat late this week for my 10 day follow up visit. I reported that I still had no pain, just a very infrequent uncomfortable feeling in the “affected area” if I sit for too long on a hard chair or ride for too long in the car, bumping along down the road. I had occasional pink urine at the very beginning of my urine stream, maybe twice a day, but that is gradually disappearing.
My frequency of urination is manageable and is now at the rate of about once every two hours. I still get up 2-3 times a night to pee. It never hurts to pee. No burning sensation. The flow is excellent. We discussed some techniques to help train my bladder to reduce the frequency. Try to hold for fifteen minutes when you get the urge....then go. Gradually, he said, the bladder will relax especially after any remaining inflammation and irritation diminishes.
I’m drinking about 3.5 liters of water a day..... helping to keep the urinary tract flushed out......and keeping bowels regular to avoid constipation and any associated straining which is NOT a good thing when healing the prostate.
The doc instructed me to stop taking Avodart...no longer needed. I stopped taking Flomax the day of the surgery so now, no BPH meds. Yea! I remain on antibiotics for another five days....Lovofloxacin 750mg. once a day. I must also remain away from the Gym for at least two more weeks and then begin working very gradually to come back to my prior level of workout being careful to avoid any heavy weights for the first month back there. Aerobic exercises ( no running though) and stretching only. I’m not the body-builder type so I never do heavy lifting anyway.
The he told me I don’t have to go back to see him....unless I experience any problems...e.g. blood in urine, restricted flow, etc.
I’m happy with the outcome so far. I’m cautiously optimistic
( because I don’t want to fake myself out into thinking that I’m fine and can go back to my everyday routine just yet) and I’m taking the opportunity to rest, relax, and calm my mind.
So that’s it from my “neck” of the woods.
If you have any questions....don’t hesitate to message me or comment here.
Thanks to everyone who have been in touch with messages of encouragement. I appreciate it.

Yer, there did used to be. But then i think it got rolled into your ticket - so you still pay it, just dont need to go hunting around for money when you think you successfully cleared out your last satang.... departure tax.
So i guess this is just - well everyone forgot that so we will start again ! if they do it the old way it just causes delays and extra bureaucracy. you are not allowed to stay, but you are not allowed to leave.
