  1. Don't forget that the Schengen visa is valid for one entry only. If you manage to get a UK visa, you can't return to Switzerland on the same visa.
  2. Does anyone know if Loei Immigration accepts the combination method and has used it recently? TIA
  3. No, it's not cheap, but the price varies widely depending on the type of lens used for replacement. 2 years ago, I had both eyes done with EDOF lenses at a very modern private eye clinic in Udon Thani, and the cost was just 75,000 THB. Very good results too.
  4. It's an IT and language school and also a teacher placement agency. Back in the days when I was teaching it didn't have the best reputation due to low wages and high turnover. Google it and also try Ajarn.com and th.jobsdb.com for teaching jobs.
  5. I'm insured with WR Life for more than 2 years now and needed herniorrhaphy surgery. Muang Loei Ram hospital asked for 80,000 - 100,000 Baht for Open Herniorrhaphy surgery and didn't offer Laparoscopic technique. I decided to have the laparoscopic herniorrhaphy done at the Crown Prince Hospital ThaBo ( a government hospital) six weeks ago for 50,000 Baht. It was a bit difficult to get consent prior surgery from WR Life and I had to pay myself first but WR Life reimbursed me 4 days after my claim.

  7. These are collective nouns, not classifiers. There's a difference.
  8. I've changed the name of the post-paid True SIM from the missus to my name to match my SCB banking app about a month ago. Passport and bank account with debit card needed. It took just 10 minutes at a True shop.
  9. 3 different banks in my little town in Loei province refused to open another bank account for me (I have an SCB account) saying they can't do it on a non-O visa despite having 8 years of yearly extensions, only non-OA allowed. TiT
  10. Hi there, I've been using a torrent site for downloading (not streaming) movies, TV shows, music and more for many years without any problems. It's got all the new stuff like Reacher, the White Lotus, 1923 to name just a few. Of course, I use a VPN even in Thailand. The site is by invitation only so if you are interested in joining, send me a private message and I'll invite you. It's free and all you have to do is seed back what you downloaded. For a small donation, you can also get IPTV with thousands of channels from all over the world.
  11. Bundesfinanzministerium - Abkommen zwischen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und dem Königreich Thailand zur Vermeidung der Doppelbesteuerung bei den Steuern vom Einkommen und vom Vermögen
  12. The Ministry (of Education) had in 2015 tested all civil servant English teachers in a CEFR-referenced online placement test, where 94% had failed to reach the targeted proficiency level of B2. Source: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0033688217738816?icid=int.sj-full-text.similar-articles.2
  13. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2002315/intensive-push-to-lift-english-proficiency It's a program in which students get more English lessons per week than regular students. The goal is that students reach B2 level of CEFR which is a joke because most English teachers (Thai) at secondary schools don't reach that level themselves.
  14. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 120 seconds  
  15. The internet has lots of worksheets and exams but course books are difficult to find (copyrights). I know one site that has a selection of English course books which you can download but the wide range of age and probably levels will make it difficult to find some appropriate ones. Send me a message if you are interested.
