I don’t know. It would be up to your own experience. What I do know is that the guy I posted earlier is the head of Sports Medicine at Bangkok Hospital and has conducted thousands of knee and shoulder surgeries. I have met an orthopaedic surgeon that worked at Siriraj with Dr Mamanee years ago and he told me that he is the best of the best. I have consulted with him three times and he has told me to hold off from repairing the shoulder for three years now, however the arthritis has become to the point that surgery needs to be done and to clean up the mess left behind by the first guy.

You get what you pay for. Too many people wanting “cheap” done. Then they end up having to have it fixed again a year or two later because they cheaped out. I’m in the same situation (not because I was cheap, I paid about 300k at a reputable hospital chain that has Bangkok in its name, but because the surgeon screwed up) and now I need it fixed again. if you want cheap, like mentioned above, go to India or go to Vietnam

Community Quick-Thinking M6 Students Save Fellow Student with CPR
MadAtMatrix replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
CPR and first should be taught in every school in every nation as part of health / physical education and refreshed every year. It would save countless lives around the world. -
Here is the cheapest price you will find in Thailand. At www.mrithailand.com a whole body scan is 60,000 baht at this clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, you would likely be able to get a whole body scan for half that. https://yersinclinic.com/ If you use chrome browser to translate the page, you can get an idea of prices in HCMC for MRI’s https://bookingcare.vn/cam-nang/8-dia-chi-chup-cong-huong-tu-mri-uy-tin-tai-tp-hcm-p1709.html Thailand is no longer the cheap place for medical treatment / diagnosis that it once was. These private hospitals are publicly listed companies and are all about emptying your wallet to please their shareholders. Just have a look at how many hospitals BDMS owns https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok_Dusit_Medical_Services#

I called their office. They sent me a package by DHL to my home. I filled it out with copies of my passport, LTR visa, my tax returns to Canada for 2 years, all pension deposits into my accounts for 4 years (they only wanted 2, but had them on hand from my mortgage finance). They looked them over and then did a zoom call with me for about five minutes where they wanted to see my passport and me on video for AML. Ten days later card in hand.

go read the FACEBOOK group that people are getting DTV's for - Botany courses, "Nature courses". It is only a matter of time that they crackdown on this visa. As you can see it is all "anonymous poster XXX" over there, as they know it is only a matter of time that they have their balls in a sling. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1828879247635023/ Feel free to do what you want, your choices don't affect me.

So does that mean that they won't be checking at the border in the future? How many times have you been asked to show 20,000 baht to an immigration officer upon entry? It is the law, but they don't ask everyone. What makes you think that they won't start pulling people aside to ensure they still meet the criteria to hold the DTV? Not sure how long you have been here, but things change daily, and pretty much every immigration division makes up their own rules. Here is what is required to extend in country, so one should probably have all of these things available upon entry in case they are asked.

They have to call ahead to their handlers and give all of your information so that they guarantee you are going to get back in. In case you didn’t know, they have to grease some palms. Take the chance and fly out yourself. But you are going to encounter the exact same thing with immigration returning to the country as you did at Jomtien immigration. They want to know that you still meet all of the requirements as when you applied. The agency is going to know that if they take you, you WILL be coming back with them. Hence the extra cost. If 2000 baht more than the others pay that are in the van will break you, then maybe you will have to cut out your entertainment costs for a month and use the agent that assures your return. This visa was issued by the MFA when you were outside of the country. Every extension is now with RTP immigration, and as you have found out, they are two different agencies with different interpretation on how they will process the extension.

Report Pattaya Officials Crack Down on Sidewalk Encroachments
MadAtMatrix replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
Gotta love this sign that was built out and around the power pole on the sidewalk. Highly doubt anything will be done about it.
