  1. Took a lot of time and running around. First when we got there we went into the main building about 11:30 and my wife registered and then she was sent to building 2 for a test and after a bit of time waiting she finally was sent back to the main building for an x-ray which didn't take long and then she was told to comeback about 17:30 and she will see the dentist about 19:30 or maybe if someone does not come back then she might be seen earlier. Ended up getting her tooth extracted at 18:45 and after paying the bill we left there at 20:15
  2. The wife had a tooth pulled last Monday and the main problem that we found here in Khon Kaen was the lack of dentists in their clinics to do extractions even though the clinics were open they were only manned by the female assistants doing the beautification dentistry and the actual dentist would not be in for a few days to a week. So we ended up at the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University
  3. The worst one that I have come across is Flash Express where their driver not once but twice for the same delivery clearly stated by his superior that he rang me and I told him to bring the next day. I have the written proof of Flash Express superior has claimed with a print out of Flash Express Tracking record. What I have noticed lately is that with my last 6 orders that every one of them has shown that they were picked up by LEX but they were delivered by Flash Express. So to me it looks like Lazada are using LEX to pick the orders up and delivering them to Flash Express for the final delivery.
  4. You forget one very big thing about Australia and all the other western countries and that is that the cost of living is a lot higher than Thailand and any other Asian country.
  5. That is mainly for westerners who do eat red meat which is the main supplier of iron to the body, but Thai's do not eat red meat. The quoted organizations are western organizations and their research is done on westerners who do have a diet of red meat and not on Thai's or other Asians who do not have a diet of red meat. The main meat that is eaten in Thailand is chicken ,pork or fish which are not iron supplying foods to the body
  6. Unfortunately many Thais are lacking in iron because of their diet. Unlike Farangs Thai's do not eant much red meat which is a main iron supply to the body. Chicken, fish and pork are not red meats. My wife ended up in hospital in Melbourne because of her iron deficiency
  7. There are a lot of comments on here about the lack of action on the roads by the police, well I would like to know how much action you would take as a police officer on the roads if you had to supply and pay for your own uniform, gun, bullets, transport and be paid a low income instead of like the police in the western countries that are supplied with everything by their government and paid a decent wage. The only supplied highway patrol cars that I have seen working here were all involved with escorting the snobs of Thailand. I have never seen any of them out patrolling the highways and why should the police officers have to use their privately owned scooter (110/115cc Honda Clicks, 115cc Yamaha Mio's) and pay for the fuel to perform high speed chases. Why does the government not supply the police officers with the right equipment to perform their duties properly and pay them a decent wage the same as the western countries do. If they did this then the police could do their jobs properly and patrol the roads and catch the law breakers and the government would collect a lot of money in fines to pay for this plus they could even reduce the road toll as well..
  8. The problem was that this cylinder did not have a SAFETY RELEASE VALVE fitted so as the cylinder heated up the gas expanded inside the cylinder and the extra pressure could not escape because of no safety release valve being fitted. All gas bottles of all types must have a safety release valve fitted to stop this type of thing happening and it does not matter how old the cylinder is. If it does not have that safety release valve fitted it will explode
  9. That is not where my problem is. It is when I click on the heart to add things to my wishlist the things are not being added plus the things that were in my wishlist ready to be ordered have disappeared from my wishlist
  10. That does not happen on my laptop. I can login in and find something that I want and list it for the wishlist while I look for other things and when I go to my wishlist it tells me that there is nothing in there but only 5 minutes earlier I did click on an item for my wishlist but it just did not go there. I have been logging in around 5 times a day for the last couple of days with the same result
  11. Has anybody been having problems with Lazada over the last few days? I have been adding a few things to my Wishlist ready to do my purchase but now on my laptop it is telling me that there is nothing in my wishlist and I cannot add anything to it just does not work anymore on the laptop and also everytime I login with my laptop Lazada send me a message that someone has logged into my account on a new device. I have only ever used my laptop to login and use the Lazada site.
  12. The simple fact of the matter is that you tried to enter Thailand with an expired visa and you would be denied entry to any other country in the world if you tried to do the same thing. At a guess I would say you just went up to the IO's window and shoved your passport at her and expected to just get another stamp to get into the country. She has seen your expired visa plus your 2 overstays on that same short period visa and said to herself "here is another idiot falang who does not have respect for our immigration laws and is trying to enter the country illegally, but he is not getting in this time" She told you to fly in and the reason for that is at the airports they have holding cells to detain you in till they send you back to your home country. There is 3 breaches to Thailands immigration laws in less than 12 months. 2 Overstays plus 1 attempt to enter the country on an expired visa.
  13. As one of the other posters said "You broke the chain" no one else but you are responsible for this and it is not the Kalasin Immigration Office. You let your Visa Extension expire and you left the country so your file finished on the day you left the country, for what ever reason and then you returned with a new Visa, so as far as Immigration is concerned you are a new arrival and therefore you must go through the same as every other new arrival. How do Immigration know if you got divorced while you were out of the country and just trying to do a shonky new Visa Extension. You could have saved a lot of this problem by renewing your old extension and getting a Re-Entry Permit before you left the country. You created this problem so stop carrying on about it. You broke the chain so you have to start a new chain of extensions The other way that you could have solved the problem was to get a 1 Year Multi Entry Marriage Visa and do your Border Bounces every 90 days and that way you can come and go as you please without all this garbage that you are carrying on about
  14. Just think about it this way. There may only be 1 survey team to cover the whole province and with Songkran and all the other holidays plus the election coming up. There are many days removed from the working days list plus if they can find any other reason to have a day off. An example of this is last night the wife and I went to Big C and while we were there we thought that we would have something to eat in the in the food hall but "NO" they were all closed because many of them had returned to their villages for Songkran already and it was only 18:15 when they would not normally close until 20:00 and on the way home I noticed that there were many small businesses and street stalls already closed for Songkran. The shop where my wife works closed on Monday 10th at 18:00 and will not open again until 08:00 on Monday the 17th. Check the other government and Buddha holidays and you would see that it could take 3 months for them to get to you. So just settle down and wait.
