I The arguments are normally started by posters who have a distinct ‘hatred’ of people who use agents.

You gat out of bed the wrong side today, how trivial can you get ?

Not meant as a criticism or nit picking just confirming the difference which other posters might find informative.

No, chemotherapy is not the same as radiation therapy. Chemotherapy targets cancer cells throughout the body usually by using cytotoxic medications given intravenously. Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams (like x-rays or proton therapy) to target and kill cancer cells at a specific tumor site

What reason are looking for this treatment , I asked if I could have it in the U.K.as it said the side effects could be less, was told I wasn’t suitable for it. The type of treatment you will receive depends on the size of your prostate, the stage of your cancer, your Gleason score and PSA level. Not everyone is suitable to have brachytherapy. Brachytherapy can be given in isolation or with external beam radiotherapy. Your doctor will let you know if you can have brachytherapy and if so which type would be more suitable for your type of cancer.

Air Asia cancelled my afternoon flight to Bali in April they initially changed to it 6.15 am meaning getting up and travelling from Pattaya in the middle of the night. I have managed to change it to just before midday but I am still waiting for a confirmation email.

You didn’t mention your landlord had done a TM30

So no TM30, do you own or rent your property, it’s confusing, how do Immigration check you live at the address you wrote on the TM47 with no documentation to support it ?

No details of your address required then ?

I couldn’t have put it better, even my Thai wife wouldn’t want me to buy a condo which eventually would be left to her. I had one in the U.K. which I managed to sell recently, I lost at least 5% of the initial purchase price, not a great investment after owning it for 10 years.

I read the article, there is no indication what the celebrations will be, Chai said that the Ministry of Culture will organising the activities in coordination with relevant private and public sector agencies in Bangkok’s 50 districts and the other 76 provinces

There are no plans as yet, they are going organise them, Songkran is a Water Festival so I assume it will involve water ?

Who is providing all the water, bar owners won’t be shelling out for 3 weeks water I don’t think ?

What plans are in place for celebrations, 3 weeks of water throwing ?

It depends on how long you want to live in Pattaya, condos are difficult to move on as they become older and more so ones at the lower end of the market, there is a glut of them in Pattaya, certainly not an investment you would make money on if you tried to sell it at a later date. Put your money into a high interest savings account and use part/interest/interest to pay rent with the option of moving on if you want to.

Not everyone lives 10 minutes away and has a bike, if they stopped people using agents they would have to triple the size of the office and employ many more staff not to mention the increase in waiting time.

Matter of choice, online, agent, do it yourself what ever is the most convenient,

What IO is that ?

Everyone to their own, renewal is nearly a day out of my life on the diminishing days I have left on the planet,if I can make life easier and stress free I don’t mind paying for it.

Slightly abnormal I don’t know where you are getting your info from, Google ? my PSA level is fine, my prostate cells produce little or no PSA due to the radiotherapy which killed most of the cells which produce PSA hence the low levels of PSA in my blood tests.

I had 5 sessions of radiotherapy over 6 years ago, I don’t have a Gleason score, my PSA is around 0.015 now.

I used an agent for my 90 day reporting, ฿100, so much easier, dropped my passport of on Monday, collected it yesterday lunch time.

What actual local businesses benefit from the Chinese, I can’t see the bars and restaurants overflowing with Chinese tourists ?

I was diagnosed when I was 62, now 72.

My cancer was contained within my prostate, I was monitored every 3 months with a PSA Test and a biopsy every I think 6 months it might have been 12 months I can’t remember exactly. The last biopsy indicated the cancer had gone up a stage, had radiotherapy after that, that was 6 years ago.
