Thai people seem to like to ascribe medicinal properties to a variety of food and drink. I have been eating at Thai restaurants with the family and someone will encourage me to eat a particular soup or dish because the vegetables are good medicine. In most cases it appears to me that the more bitter the vegetables, the stronger medicine they supposedly provide.
 
I look in wonder each new year as people spend a great deal of hard earned money buying those fancy wrapped holiday packages for other family members, which include a supply of small bottles of something that one is supposed to drink each day.  When they gift someone a thirty day supply I am guessing that is supposed to inoculate that person for the rest of the year.

I did the same thing for my O-A from Thai Embassy London, I did have a letter from my GP in UK but noticed later that it had an out of date address on it and as I was back in Thailand ( and the medical certificate i had downloaded was in Thai and English) I decided to get a Thai version just in case.
As it turned out the Thai version was accepted and the gp's letter wasn't ( due to it's simplicity) so it was a good result for me.
I have posted this on here before as it's an easier and cheaper option.
Mine cost me 360 baht from a local hospital .

Breaking news !!

come over to CM genius and let me super soak you in the face with moat/sewage water. Considering that the moat water is the ''ammunition '' of popular choice and that the area is INFESTED with diseased rats I will promise you a good dose of the ''water'' that is  Contaminated with rat urine and rat shit,a good shot directly in your face/mouth.But I 'm sure you'll love it because you don't want to be a grumpy ,stuffy and serious farang OR how about a ruptured ear drum just like the one that happened to my friend's 75 year old mother last year when two backpacking   scmbgs ran up to her with a super soaker, just like the one you brag about having and shot her full force directly in her ear, purposely , rupturing her ear drum and causing permanent damage.....so when  can we expect you big mouth?

Unless my eyesight deceives me, the banner says 'The Mask Fighters', not 'The Masked Fighters'.
 
Which masks will they be fighting?

Seems like a good idea to me !
Hope it's gonna be all 6 masked fighters against 1 Songkran troublemaker as in the Thai tradition !!

 
Did the Thais welcome you to the Buddhist family?
But then you must renounce your Christianity if you ever believed in it.
 
 

both trucks are in u turn lanes, there are 2 lanes to U-turn, go back and look at the video again and look again at the arrows on the road in the lane the trucks are in..
truck should have had its indicator on and should have checked his mirror before starting his turn

I am in Hua Hin celebrating Songkran with the gf , her sister and her 2 rugrats.
As this is my first Songkran I decided to enter into the spirit and got kitted out with the flowery shirt, bought the male lead weight a super soaker and off we went down to Market Village for starters then ended up by the fire station which seemed to be the hub of water enduced entertainment ( not surprisingly).
I had a good old time, didn't flinch when I got an ice cold bucket down my back, even took my cap and glasses off to let the kids fully soak a farang baldy !!
Now, showered and looking for food am happy in the knowledge that I've contributed to Thailands economy and shown that farang are not all stuffy and serious.

Having said that I think that this will not be a regular outing, going back home tomorrow and will only participate in another if family or friends insist .

One day, like today, a year I can handle, any more than that and I will turn into the typical grumpy old expat made famous by TVF.

Oh, we did do the temple visit and water over the Buddha yesterday, so my aspirations to be a Buddhist have been fulfilled also !!

Are you saying the truck driver has no blame in this???? Like Transam, I had an HGV licence too, and I know exactly what he was saying,
and as a previous poster said, the car driver should have been driving more defensively.

I've never done a 90 report ( online or in person ) as have been out the country a few times.

Do all my "internetting "on an iPhone.

What chance do I have/any tips ??

Edit: if it helps I can do a hotspot to my laptop, is this necessary ?

I think we all agree now that the truck was in the right turn lane .

But as the traffic moves forward he has no intention of turning right ! , he is trying to make a u-turn !

If you watch the video to the end you will see the right turn is further forward and you can follow the traffic turning right up ahead.

So, back on topic, the truck driver made a u-turn with no signal and without checking for other cars!!

Therefore guilty !

That was something I thought was a bit strange. When he removed the old crown the tooth was about 80% whole, but then he virtually removed everything almost to the gum line, don't ask me why.

How did he get the old crown off without damaging it? I had to have a new crown made.

I am in a similar position as the OP.
My question is :
What date would he need to do his 1st extension of permission to stay. ?
14th of July 2017 or 6th July 2018

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but still relevant to the OP.

Thanks

Apologies for de-railing the thread further, but I LOVE smelling my dogs' paws!  
 
Can do without the smell of peoples' feet though.

Hi
What 'hollor Moowee' did she like best?

I would have hung back and let the truck complete its turn. Dart up the inside of a larger vehicle and you are always at risk of being sideswiped.
 
I regularly take a freeway exit back home and many cars in the exit lanes don't keep their right turn signal on because all three lanes have similar right turn signs painted on the road, and you can only turn right. The truck is in a marked exit/turning lane so I wonder how many drivers would have an indicator on, more so in Thailand.
 
 

 Explain, how did the bloody nose come about

The RC treatment cost me 4000 baht (3 sessions) plus 6000 baht for the crown, total 10,000 baht. I have exactly the same problem, a gap next to the crowned tooth, so didn't want to lose it. Previously I had 2 crowns with a bridge between, but he had to remove 1 crown and the bridge so he could give me RC on the problem tooth. If I wanted him to replace the bridge he would have had to remove the other crown as well. I just wanted to get the one tooth fixed, started to get a little bit sick and tired of dentists, sometimes it seems never-ending.

I'm feeling for you Giddyup !
I'm in the middle of a RC treatment, Crown removed and 2 sessions with the RC " specialist ", 1 more session on the 25th and then Crown back on .
Cost me 1,750 + 3,000 + 3,000 so far.
Had some pain after the second session but only lasted a day but it was a 2 hour session and I could feel her cleaning the canal with the 1/4" round file !!, so some after pain is expected.
Mines a big one , 4 root canals, initially the 3 dentists i saw first wanted to pull it !!, but as I have one missing next to it I'd rather try and keep it . Mine had been treated 10 years ago but they didn't get to the root of the problem ( pun intended).

Anyway, good luck.

I watched the video 3 times to check this...   The truck driver is clearly in the wrong.  Not because he was turning from the middle lane, that long a vehicle would need that much room to turn, but because he did not use his turn signals at all.  The light that some posters cite as a late turn signal is more likely a brake light as it comes on when he realizes that he has hit the car and stays on, rather than blinks.  The left side brake light is probably burned out.

I hope we are gonna get some feedback on the outcome !!

What movie ? and what did it lead to !

Spare us the sordid details !

Just a [emoji106]or [emoji107]should do .
