My Krungsri Bank Account was locked as I hadn’t made any transactions in 12 months, there was ฿5000 in it. They told me if there was no transactions in 2 years the account would be closed and the money would be passed onto the Thai government.

I attend Bangkok Pattaya and Bangkok Jomtien for my glaucoma, I also had my cataracts done at Jomtien. I enquired about an eye test for glasses after my cataract op, nope neither of them employ optometrists which I thought very strange ?

Like anywhere Opticians make their money on the frames, Specsavers Iin the U.K. are cheaper, they employ Optometrists who can do a health check on your eyes.

One outside my house I would like to know how to get scrapped unfortunately it doesn’t belong to me,

The shop you are talking about give you a very basic eye test, I don’t believe they employ Optometrists, 2 in Pattaya do, Euro Optics and Pattaya Optical, there is another called Better Vision not sure if they employ an Optometrist.

How legal are the Wills you write yourself, in Thailand, do they have to be signed/witnessed by a Thai or a foreigner ? I was told the Amphur Office won’t authorise them anymore ?

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.
