Yup!

I hope everything goes your way on the process and Thai bureaucracy decisions (best of luck just doesn't cover my wish for your endeavor). Personally, I just couldn't see doing it (but I only worked 3-1/2 years and that was 20 years ago)...

Visine does the job but not available here.

You are going to the wrong pharmacy... I've bought Visine here in Bangkok many times at different pharmacies. Some have it, some don't.  (I also like Optrex's "Eye Lotion").  I typically buy the Visine-A (for allergy).

Is it a Baht surge or because the Europe and Western world are spendin money like it's growing on trees?

I think the Baht 'strengthen' this week because the vote was coming up on Wednesday/Thursday, but since it went badly the Baht has been losing some of its luster. Look out next week. I think the Baht will gain again with PT taking power and Srettha heads up the new Gov. (IMHO)

DNA test will determine who is lying.

Thanks, Skipalongcassidy...  The Uncle may be guilty, but I'm not in the world of believe all women.  All you other posters should quail your convictions and punishments.  I'm not saying he's not guilty, but him due process.

It is going to be interesting to see who is a closer match the son or dad.

You didn't read the article correctly. She came to their house with the excuse to play with their son and to USE his telephone to call her boyfriend.  There is now the accusation or introduction of a third party here. She has a boyfriend... maybe.

I hope that when the baby's born and or aborted and the DNA test is conducted that we'll see a follow up of this story with the DNA evidence.

I'm the youngest of 5 men (boys once for a number of years). We all have the same nose and eyes, but I'm the only one who really looks like Dad. Scary sometimes... when I look in the mirror.

Great sounds and songs from 1975. I remember them all.

Two TOTALLY different things, please don't spread mis-information

You are correct, EXCEPT, he's a British passport holder and does not qualify for a Visa on Arrival, which I am going to infer that you're thinking VOE (Visa on Entry) is the what the 'poster' is saying. When the British passport holder enters he is given a Visa Exempt stamp, which is a 'permit to stay' of 30 days.

So far, so good... I'm using an anitech keyboard, which I bought at HomePro. (only used for 2 months now).
Good luck. My logitech system went goofy after about 2 years.

I suggest you go to UOB Kay Hian Securities Thailand PCL.  They're located in the Sindhorn Tower Building - Office / Office 130-132 Wireless Road, Lumpini Subdistrict , Pathum Wan District, Bangkok. I think that's across the street from the US Embassy.
UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand) Public Company Limited operates a securities business. The Company is licensed to conduct securities brokerage, securities trading, investment advisory, and securities underwriting in many stock exchanges worldwide. UOB Kay is also licensed to provide financial advisory and unit trusts agency.

I wish I'd known about them in 1998, but didn't until 2010. It's very easy to set up an account.

No, I see zero cause to eat this type of processed food (unless that's all there was to eat).  I wouldn't be surprised if it takes more energy to 'grow' this lab stuff than to raise it on a farm.

Except the one that kills you... best to tell the kids to keep away from snakes and report it to the local snake catchers.

Mis-identification can be serious.

You're entitled to your opinion, but IMO I agree the children and teacher should learn to recognise the snake. That doesn't mean they should be careless. Even non-venomous snakes can have a nasty bite. Leave the handling to the professionals with the proper equipment.

So true on so many fronts.

As a Thai she is covered under the universal health care scheme  (AKA "30 baht scheme")- but would have to start at the hospital which serves the district where she is listed in a tabien ban (house registration) and be referred from there.  

 

As already stated the best spinal specialist is at BNH and also at Chula. There is also a good unit at Bangkok Hospital. 

 

The MRI report does not indicate a need for surgery but seems inconsistent with the clinical picture so the film should be read by a good spine specialist. Consultation at BVH will be few thousand baht. At Chula just 50 baht but limited interaction with the senior doctor. If Prof. Wicharn thinks surgery is indicated get a written recommendation and take it to her registered hospital and try to get a referral letter from them to Chulalongkorn. 

Great advice, Sheryl.  I will also recommend Ramkhamhaeng Hospital for their Orthopedic Surgery Center.  Ramkhamhaeng has some excellent facilities and are a private patient hospital more geared to the Thai population, but I received excellent care there (if you decided to not use the BHN higher priced or the government's 30 baht scheme).  Sheryl's already suggested Bangkok Hospital, too, so I will leave them out (but a great place).

I'm glad someone finally brought up this subject. I didn't think about sharing here. I've been diligently looking for the SF and then the regular since the first of the year (Anyway, it seems like that long).  I've written emails to Berlin and even requested info on their webpage, but, alas, they don't respond.

I've started using Benefiber.  I used the MetaMucil in the US, but haven't tried it over here. I guess I'll have to run the numbers and see how the cost will work-out.

Are you fighting constipation? I was, but I stumbled on a great video on youtube about Magnesium deficiency and a supplement suggestion. It has changed my life. I've pasted the address here. You'll have to copy the address and paste it in your browser. I didn't want to paste the https:// BS because it makes a big mess of the post with the 'photo'.  (I bought the magnesium citrate from NineLife)
