OP you want to buy aa hospital bed for under 10.000 baht dream on.

I use an electric hospital bed, and paid 49.000 baht for it 6 years ago.

I did see on FB a few days ago, a company selling hospital beds starting at around 22.000 baht, electric one 36.000 baht.

Send me your contact details, if interested and i will try to find it.

Yes we priced them across the street at the pharmacies for 10-12k for a basic model.   So used already we have found a couple in the 6-8k range in good shape, if a nice one can be found for 10-12 we will consider it.  You got the farang version I guess, my SO is thai so we are searching through her now and getting results thanks.  
 

Hi all, anyone know where i can buy a hospital bed for use at home, we checked across from maharaj but they cost in excess of 10k baht new for very basic models, if anyone knows another option please let me know

Forget Gogo bars, soapy massage and thaifriendly or thaicupid nonsense.  Why do all you old timer farangs who still like pay4play not go with sidelines girls?  Cheaper, way hotter and more readily available than alternatives.  I just don’t get it.

Does anyone use or know if these are locally available in the Chiang mai area?  I used them when living in Florida and they are incredible and so easy for a newbie like myself.  Thanks!

Yes there are currently 0 mRNA vaccines approved for human use.  Why do all these countries keep saying they are social close to having a vaccine when it has never been done before?  SARS MERS etc.... no vaccine at all.  This virus will weaken.  A virus does not want to kill its host, just replicate and spread.

What about Americans currently in Thailand?  I have a single entry non o so at the moment july 30th is looking like my exit due date.  If the US is still a restricted country will I be allowed back in as an American if I go get another non o visa at a neighboring country?  Will immigration be able to see based on my passport that I have not been to America in years and let me be with my family or do I need to camp out somewhere until Americans are off travel restrictions in Thailand?  Thanks all for your ideas on this

Sorry, but isn't it also just as likely that they were infected by getting into a seat from some flying out of Thailand few hours earlier at Heathrow  ? Are they tracing all the people that flew out on the potentially infected plane ? No, thought not. 

Unlikely due to the incubation period of a virus.  

Ok thank you @ubonjoe.  Having a 1 year old has turned me into a scatterbrained mess.

Yeah I would bring a letter from mom, and copies of her ID and house book as well as your sons house book all signed by mom just to be safe.  I just flew with my half Thai baby and her mother but at immigration leaving Thailand mom went in a different line and didn’t wait for me, she was already around the corner when I got to the IO and they started to question me about it before I finally saw mom come back looking for us.

I’m in Penang and submitted my paperwork yesterday.  I lost my receipt to pick up the passport today so can I just bring my Thai drivers license or do I need to get a police report first?  I am trying to avoid getting denied entry to pickup my passport as I plan to leave tomorrow. Thanks all.

 Grew up in America, so half the women either have many relationships, been divorced and/or step kids, so really don't mind but get your point. Even the hiso girls here, who knows where they been. 

 You must have been super awkward with girls in America if that is your take.  I think you should take whatever you can get out here and be thankful.

I have the same exact condition, tried to get insurance through LUMA, they said they would cover me but not for anything heart related. So a stroke I’m covered but a heart attack I’m not.  You willing never get heart coverage out here with your condition but you can get all else covered.   PAC is a type of arythmia, once you have it you always have it even if it’s dormant for a while.  The health insurance companies here don’t care if it’s a benign PAC, all they care about is your have an arythmia and so they lump you into a high risk group incorrectly.  It’s super frustrating but you will get nowhere trying to explain it to them.

Non sex workers want money too, house, car, take care money, family support

not About money, it’s about her banging shady dudes several times a week or day while your dating her

If she works at a happy massage type place no way.  Prostitutes are not on the relationship menu.

I have gotten 3 non-o this year already for Thai child.   I have never needed to show 20k, the mothers original ID card, legal paperwork for legitimization or the original house book.  You do need the mothers and child’s copy of the house book both signed by the mother, have the mothers ID card copy signed by her also.  The original and a copy of the birth certificate, and of course your passport copies.  If you can have the mother write a short letter on the copy of her ID card saying you are the father and that you take care of your child and to please issue you a visa, I needed this in HCMC but not savanakhet this year. And your visa photos!

Sorry but its 100% to do with Thailand. Having been a scuba diving instructor (in Thailand). Scuba diving was and most likely is very safe in Thailand and comparable to the rest of the "warm water" diving around the world however snorkeling which is far more dangerous than scuba are unregulated with poorly trained people running and taking the tours this equates to accidents and death. 

 Like I said, if you can’t swim don’t go snorkeling

They have every intention of doing this and there is already a scramble over who will be licensed to do this. But it will not be something individual farmers will be allowed to do. The powers that be will control this lucrative enterprise and its profits.

Potential for making big money through export was a nig factor in legalization.

Only problem is that the market is being falsely propped up with speculation and empty promises.  Look at hemp farmers in the US.  Last year thousands of farmers switched to growing hemp, they are now having problems finding buyers and when they do they are getting half of the projected value of their crop.  Many farmers are switching back to conventional crops.  There is no infrastructure or demand to use all this hemp for food, clothing, fuel, etc... its all just hype.  The problem is that government and big business want hemp as a cash crop and are focused only on money but society for the most part wants good quality medicine and a legal recreational market.  Thailand will never have an export market with their current policy and approach.

The stuff the they are prescribing as thc oil is absolutely bunk.  It is garbage and the op got high off his homegrown bud and not the oil 100% positive.  The legal “medicine” out now has 0 medicinal value.  This whole legalization is about making money not providing excellent quality medical cannabis to sick people and it is showing in the terrible quality product out now.  The people saying it works are just clueless or are under some serious placebo effect.  Even the cbd oil out now is pure junk.

I thought 

I've been wondering lately if THC varies in strength from strain to strain as distinct from the concentration of THC from strain to strain?If the THC does not vary in strength then the quality of ganja shouldn't really matter once the THC has been extracted if you get my drift.

It does matter, why do you think there are different strains for different symptoms?  Specific ratios of cbd to thc along with the terpenes and other unique combinations of compounds in each strain do provide different effects.  Extracts of thc from one strain will differ in how they affect symptoms than the next strain, and a low % strain is going to mean you have a low % of useable product for the amount your growing = low quality.  Just look at maejo, they have 12,000 plants and only say they will get 2.4 tones which is a horrible yield,and I bet they don’t even come close to that.

I heard a few years ago from a real estate agent that it will be located  real close to or in the Chiang Mai business park behind big C on superhighway

If you have payed any attention to what Trump is all about then absolutely he would do something like that.  The documentary that came out on him last year(or two years ago I don’t remember) was incredibly enlightening as to how he conducts himself.  He is just smart enough to be sneaky and manipulative without having the social skills or wit to utilize his skill set in a responsible and effective manner.

I gave up diving in the Gulf. Will not do it anymore. After a dozen dives, all with under three meters of visibility, I will only dive in the Andaman, NW Bali, or other spots. Life is just too short for such utter mediocrity. Sorry guys. Got to tell it like it is. 

I dove recently in Koh kood with some visibility in the 7 meter range but day to day it varied and other times vis was more like the 3 meters you mention.  

Andaman is great for a cheap liveaboard and the chance to dive with the big boys like whale sharks and giant mantas but the real gems are in Indonesia.  Any diver here in Thailand needs to plan a trip to raja ampat, it will make you understand what a healthy ecosystem looks like.  Bunaken and lembeh too but raja is on a whole other level.
