Question : When one asks for a ONE year statement from the bank ( bkk or Kasikorn) .... How does one specify from what date to what date ? If money in the bank method (800 k ) is immigration looking at date of last extension to the date applying for new extension ? ( mine is term acct, so no withdrawels )

yes, the FL *** protocol would be a good start to read . I agree with what you have written . If someone has a lot of money there are a few places in the States with treatment facilities .

Yes, Yes, Yes ! At least read some opinions regarding statins (and cholesterol) from some other sources. Not quacks. Well researched doctors . Start with google "the great cholesterol myth" (there are other sources as well, but you need to search). note: the opinions of these doctors does not conform to the mainstreet government guidelines

Is there a specific doctor or urologist you like (in CM) if I need to consult about gastro or urinary matters ? Its been ages since i have seen a doctor ..... though i go myself to check blood every year or so at a lab .

I have started using Lazada more lately ( buy many NOW brand on iHerb, but wait time is longer , pills subjected to heat from travel, etc ) . The Mrs. is great at finding deals and discounts on Lazada. I already had saw palmeto 540 mg .... and yesterday ordered the pumpkin seed oil 1000 mg , Swanson brand, from Lazada. Thank you for sending YOUR dosage ( i am surprised, only once a day ) , but agree 100% that dosage must be determined individually.... and starting LOW is the smartest way . It is helpful to know (anecdotally) how others fare and how much they take. I will forego the Cialis at first . My blood pressure is on the low end, so i could take it if needed. We all want to avoid meds if possible, and also definitely surgeries . Stay well . (and btw , i live out by Finicky ... )

would you mind giving the amounts and frequency/time of day that you use for the Saw Palmetto and Pumpkin seed oil ? I have yet to order the Pumpkin seed oil but i see can get Swanson brand quickly on Lazada........ though iHerb is a bit cheaper . Ten years sounds pretty good ! (pm me if you prefer) . Thanks !

How do you survive a visit from the dreaded Thai family?
rumak replied to Chris Daley's topic in General Topics
Ideally, that is a good recipe to follow . ( but seriously... this is AseanNow forum 🙄). I came to Thailand when the few travelers roaming around lived by their wits , not always successfully to be honest . There were no guidebooks and internet experts to show the way . Sooooo. I learned the old fashioned way , and there is no substitute for experience (as the saying goes) . I have the thrills, the scars, the scratched car, the banged on door at 2 in the morning, the live=ins that lasted various time periods, the lies, ..... but also the cycle trips on unknown dirt roads through the mountains, the small towns with no english and me with little Thai , the giggling and oogling villagers, the drunk nights at all types of venues. And many "invigorating" short encounters (not just sexual ) , but just riding down the road to be met with a big smile as a real cutie passed . ok ok that was long ago haha. But....... eventually my number came up . Found one that didn't change from the original "promotion" stage. In fact exceeded my expectations. And, my luck was...... I was too old by that time to let the little brain drag me away from a good thing . -
i was wondering why my joints kept going out ........ too much uric acid !

12 month bank statement
rumak replied to CallumWK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

12 month bank statement
rumak replied to CallumWK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks JD for the concise info ........ here in CM , even though i have an online appt., they make you go to a window where a not so nice officer informs you if all the paperwork is in order. Then tells me (last year) that i need the statement even though i try to explain my acct is a one year term acct that has been used year after year. He doesn't care ..lol I bypassed him and went in to speak to an officer, who agreed with me. The next day i went to my appt. and almost had the same problem but then it was resolved. So..... i guess i will get one "just in case" , like you did . No big deal, but after 20 plus years still the stress of dealing with the simple process which is NOT always simple. glad yours went ok ........ rumak -

12 month bank statement
rumak replied to CallumWK's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
In 20 years never had to get a "statement" ( use cash in bank method , one year term account , retirement) . BUT... last year they almost made me . What EXACTLY does one ask the bank for ( i use Bangkok Bank) ? Is there a form i need to get , or just tell the bank i need a 12 month statement ? ( of course i need the letter for guarantee of funds as well 🙂 -
oops.... Gotcha Sue

What's One Thing You Wish You Knew Before Moving to Thailand?
rumak replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in General Topics
If you are asking that question , and already live here ............... then probably not any advantage for your situation. Many guys on this forum have no interest in speaking Thai. Those that do speak fairly good Thai would (imo) say that it is much more rewarding to them ....... in personal relationships and just ordinary life challenges . note: the best times i had , with non bar girl types, was finding pretty ladies on internet sites that did not speak english .
