I guess they mean a scooter. I wondered the same thing.

The first part should have been government hospital costs about $1.50.

The hospitals here have their own pharmacies. When you see a doctor and he wants you to have medication you will pay for it and receive it at the hospital. Private hospitals here charge more for medications than pharmacies outside. Government hospitals are far cheaper. There are no prescriptions given here. Lots of medicine you can just go to a pharmacy and tell them what you want. Some drugs are controlled though and can only be obtained from a hospital. Lots of people here when they have a problem just go to the pharmacy and tell them what is wrong and the pharmacy gives them medicine for the problem. Saves paying for a doctor that way. So perhaps your insurance would cover the medicine a hospital gives you since it is all on one bill. Just for reference, where I live, seeing a doctor in a private hospital cost about $1.50. At a private hospital around $15, not including tests and medications. But the private hospital I use, Bangkok Hospital, charges a lot more in other areas. Specially where there are lots of foreigners living. Government hospitals tend to be more crowded, hectic, not as clean, and lots of areas with no air conditioning. Couple of dental costs here for reference too. A root canal and crown costs around $700. A dental implant around $1,600. Again prices can vary quite abit depending on where you are located and where you go.

One can only hope that Russia will be held financially responsible for all the destruction. Putin must be really evil to not care about all the lives he is destroying.

those in power must not have liked the election results. Would 4 votes have made a difference in the outcome?

You forgot the watch repair and cleaning room.

He probably has police that owe him money too. Don't expect too much to happen to him.

My wife is 71. She is still very much a female.

Basically the marriage visa/extension requires less financial requirements but more paperwork. Also for retirement you need to be at least 50. If your original visa is not multiple entry make sure to get a reentry permit before you leave Thailand. You can get a multiple entry permit or single entry permit. The multiple entry permit is cost effective if you are leaving and reentering Thailand 4 times a year or more.

I guess they didn't have any money to pay the on the spot fine. Nothing wrong with moving them to an inactive post as long is it is done temporarily while they investigate the incident. But we know this most likely will not happen. Then in a couple weeks time they will be back on the job.

If he is truely an independent candidate expect him to be fully investigated and some charges filed against him to remove him from office.

Yesterday my wife read some online article about a dog picking up a toad and then dropping it later. It landed on it's back, now dead, with 53 clearly visible on it's stomache.

Most offices allow you to apply for an extension 30 days early. I have read here that some allow it 45 days early but I have no experience with that. It would be 30 days before your 13 Sep date, not the visa expiration date. However with a multiple entry O-A visa you could leave and reenter Thailand before the 7th of September and get another 1 year permission to stay.

One of our dogs died april 1st. Her birthdate was 20/06/09. The first draw after that the 2 numbers were 09. The last draw was 06. Next up 20? Anyway my wife is convinced our dog is responsible. We have won 24K the last two draws playing her(the dogs) numbers.

Some of the sleuths on this forum.

The photo in the original linked article showed a bottle of JIm Beam about half full and a (blurred) bottle of Sangsom almost full.

You take a space shuttle from Bangkok to arrive there.

Unconnected yes. But when you do it by mail they want copies of the relevant passport pages. From the immigration website: Notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days – สำนักงานตรวจคนเข้าเมือง – Immigration Bureau Notification by registered mail 1. Photocopy of passport pages with following pages– front page showing name / surname / Passport No., ect. – current visa – last entry stamp of immigration – last extension of visa

Was he going to charge you 5 baht per bottle again? Or was it just an even exchange of bottles?

Hopefully she survives after this. Might be time to move far away.

They took all the copper from the transformer and it is still usable?

Thai stick.

How did he get out? Did he report it to the police? What happened afterwards? Lots of questions. Maybe some are answered in the Danish interview.
