Your logic is a bit odd, bro. What you are talking about is like feeding stray dogs that expect everyone to give them roast beef sandwiches without doing anything. I downloaded Grab one day after my now wife and I asked 10 taxis to take us home (30 minute trip) and use the meter. Now I only use Grab or Bolt. If a taxi stops and asks me where I am going, I ignore them. If they are persistent, I tell them to F off. It's funny because it's true! I totally agree.

No, I don't. I have to drive 15 minutes.

Why did people downvote this post? Seems like a valid question to me.

I used to get it at my local Villa Market. You have to ask the cashier because iit’s not sitting out in the open.

Yes, of course! Why not? The do have equal rights and this question is kind of offensive to a lot of people. Should women be allowed to drive vehicles? Hard no for obvious reasons! 🤣

Still use their service + tip them because extortion has been circumvented? Yeah, they used to make big money. Much more than school teachers, nurses, etc. And without education.

@Sheryl Yes. I will just show up at 7:00. You have been a great help. Much appreciated.

I'm really stretching it here, but would you happen to know the number for the orthopedic center in the public wing? I somehow ended up speaking with the orthopedic center at Siriraj Piyamaharajkarun Hospital. She said it was public, but google says it's private and it seems to be a different hospital than you linked to me. A few hours of this has my head spinning. LOL.

Thanks, Lorry. I checked out their reviews on google maps and they're pretty bad, especially the newest ones. Mostly translated from Thai saying the staff speaks very rudely, but some did say the doctors were good. I probably wouldn't know if they were being rude, anyway. And from what I understand, docs, nurses, and other staff are overworked and underpaid in Thai hospitals.

Excellent! Thanks so much. I've seen you give out good advice before on medical questions before, I took your recommendation and called the call center as soon as I got home to try to find out if an orthopedic surgeon would be available tomorrow (Sunday), and she checked the schedule and made an appointment for me on Monday. However, when I mentioned wanting to go to the public wing, she said I had to call a different number, but that number was just hanging up on me. I called the call center number again and she said to call a completely different number tomorrow morning. Cheers!

Maybe we really are living in a simulation.

Thanks so much. I can’t seem to find it. I assume that was public wing? Still couldn’t find it though. It’s in BKK?

I did it good this time. I’m in Chiang Mai (I live near Bangkok) and broke my leg (fibula) near the ankle. Not only that, I broke it in the same place about 10 years ago and still have the metal plate and screws in there. I went to ChiangMai Ram hospital and they charged me 40,000 THB just for xrays, consultation, meds, and a “slab” cast. With surgery they wanted 400,000. When I had surgery a decade ago, I went to a government hospital, which was much less comfortable, but paid 15,000 in total for surgery, 4 days in a bed, a cast and medicine. Maybe a post-surgery check up, too. I live in Nonthaburi very close to northern BKK. I’ll do the surgery closer to home, obviously. It gets worse. They have to take the old hardware out, install new metal, realign the other bone (tibia) as it is very dislocated and probably replace new ligaments. It’s gnarly, guys. And I am beating myself up for not having insurance, so no need for a lecture, please. I know. Your thoughts on government, university hospitals? Or have recommendations on private hospitals that are decently priced? All recommendations are welcome. p.s. I was walking on the sidewalk and rolled my ankle. Not riding a bike or fighting or acting irresponsibly.

I swear to God if you don’t get back in your cage, I’m coming home to give you something to cry about.

Fu@@ing right, bro!

Yes

Ask @Gottfrid. He can’t do it, but he will damn well give you advice anyway.

More likely, you’re starting to take over Bob Smith’s spot on this forum. That’s much worse.

That’s why you have been demoted to the slack department for the pants police. Where I live the mosquitos are extremely racist. They don’t think I am worth the effort at all. I’m whiter than sour cream. They just bite everyone else. I thought I was sweet, I was wrong.

Pomerainians? The little dogs? What do you mean?

I don’t think decent people would move next door to you, Bob. Do you ever go back and read your own nonsensical, rambling posts? It’s lunacy. I’m sure it was a nice neighborhood when you moved in. I believe you. Then property values plummeted. And the “fellers with tatoos moved in next door”. I’m pretty sure almost no one believes anything you ever write on here. Except that every restaurant you go to throws the food and check on the table and tells you to get out. Quitting alcohol by replacing it with coffe and tea, then gloating about two days sober, then bragging about stocking you fridge and cabinets with hard booze and beers. How are you not ashamed? Would you want to live next door to yourself? I didn’t think so.

This was predicted at least 20 years ago and seems to be on par with past predictions. There are 2 reasons this is happening. 1. Climate change/ global warming (obviously). But it doesn’t stop there. 2. Bangkok is heavier than it was decades before. The constant construction of buildings actually sinks the city. These skyscrapers are contributing to the threat, causing the end result to happen faster. Buy a condo, buy a boat. Or learn to swim like a rat in a swage pipe.

Now we are on to retirement visas. Ok. I will check the requirements in about a decade. Dude, I don't qualify for that. What is going on with feeding frenzy? I'm sorry if I failed at making the situation clear in the OP. @DrJack54 Please close this thread. Thank you all for the advice.

I understand. I'm not talking about the future visa. I am asking for advice on my current visa and permission to stay. I don't want to look into a crstal ball here, I just want to know what my options are right now.
