If your talking about the lady dentist across from Ban Du market she and her office don't do teeth cleaning, scaling and also no longer crowns. She a very good dentist but seems to have found a  very profitable niche in braces  (It seems to be a very trendy thing even if you barely need them)and regular filling and extractions. And  want to send you out to another for all else. It's definitely not a one stop shop any more. don't get me wrong she is a very competent dentist.

Thank you for that info. I need fillings too so I will go there first. Do you know how much it costs?

Does anyone have good recommendations for a dentist near BanDu? I'd like to get my teeth cleaned in a professional and pain free manner. I'd appreciate the advice. Thank you very much~

On the road that passes Mae Fah Luang Uni and going to Mae Sai, there is a restaurant on a hill that is on the left side of the road. But it's not right on the road, you have to turn left from the main road and drive a bit in and go up a small hill. This restaurant has good fried fish and is very clean.

Also, I recall that there was a military checkpoint nearby. Anyone know which restaurant this is and can give me the google maps location? Thank you!

I'm applying for a visa to China while I am in Thailand. I have everything but the Chinese government is asking for a translation of some of my documents. Is there a place in Khon Kaen where I can get the documents officially translated for the Chinese embassy?

I am not sure due to that I haven´t checked myself, but have you tried Boots. They have Oragel in other countries.

However, it might be a chance to ask in a Boots shop if they can order and bring it if no have. Otherwise iHerb will have what you are looking for and can ship your products to Thailand. They can even show you the prices in thai baht. https://th.iherb.com/search?kw=oragel

 

I tried Watsons but they didn't have it. Okay, I will try to find a Boots. So there's no generic benzocaine in Thailand?

I'm looking for something like this in Thailand to relieve a cut in my mouth: http://www.orajel.com/en/Products/adult-oral-care/Orajel-Mouth-Sore-Gel

Can you help?

Every time I get a visa extension, they always ask me to bring an address or a proof of address from my apartment or hotel I am staying at. Exactly what do they want me to bring and what can I tell the hotel manager in order to get it?

Are there other reputable and legit job sites for Thai teaching jobs other than Ajarn.com. Ajarn is the only one I know and trust, are there any others? Thanks!

Get overnight train first class for about 1100 baht I think. Get bunk bed and sleep. Arrive in hua lamphong train station in morning of 18th. Plenty of time to get to DMK airport.

 

Just head straight to trang train station and purchase tickets at train station. Do not listen to tour guides advice regarding "no train" speak directly to train station.

 

Cannot remember but the train journey is about 12-14 hours and leaves 6pm and arrives 8am. Not 100%.

Wow, that's perfect. Thank you very much. 1,100 baht includes a bunk bed? Ok, I will head straight to the trang station. Is the trang train station far from Hat Yao Pier?

I will be staying in Koh Lipe soon and after my trip I am heading back to Korea. My flight back to Incheon is at 4pm on March 19. I will be leaving Koh Lipe on March 18th. I have chosen to either take the train or bus back to Don Mueang instead of taking a plane because it is less expensive. However, I'd like to leave Koh Lipe/Trang and time it so that I arrive the next day on March 18th (before 4pm of course). Are that overnight buses that go from Trang to Don Mueang? Could you please tell me where I can go to book them once I arrive in Trang and Koh Lipe? I want to make sure I get my tickets and I want to use a VIP bus service like Nakonchaiair. Thank you very much.

1. This restaurant is located past Mae Fah Luang Uni on the way to Mae Sai. It is on top of a hill and serves fried fish that you can wrap in lettuce and eat. Very good atmosphere and food.

2. The 2nd restaurant seemed to be famous for its grilled shrimp. The only thing I remember eating there was shrimp in all kinds of ways. Very tasty. It was somewhere near Ban Du, Chiang Rai. I think. Either that or near the city center.

Both are Thai restaurants and both had outside seating. If you happen to know what I am talking about, please help. I'd love to get a google maps location for both of them. It's been years since I visited them. Thank you kindly.

It went well. Make sure to bring a real Thai address. They won't ask for proof, but they want you to have a real address in Chiang Rai. They didn't tell me to come back.

Thank you! I will report back soon! Last time I filled out all the paperwork work before hand, they made me do it again with the forms they had at the office. Oh well, I'll just do everything again just to be safe and save time. 

How do I get a proof of address? What do I show them? 

Soon I will be going to the Chiang Rai Immigration office near the airport to get a visa extension for my American Tourist visa. Can someone confirm exactly what I need to bring? Is it still 1,900 baht in cash and 1 photo? Do I have to bring information about where I am staying? Please let me know what I need before I go? Thank you!

I'm at the embassy. The good news is that they will deliver my visa via postal once it's done. The bad news is that they made me buy an onward ticket. Don't they realize that most of us will exited via land or simply haven't planned when we will leave? 

Thank you. You are the best.

Hey ubon, do I need a bank statement for a tourist visa? Or is this enough? Also, do I need to bring a copy of my passport or is the actual passport enough?

Legally yes, you can, but still police might see it as an opportunity for them.

Thank you, as long as it is legal, I am glad~

Wow, ubonjoe is alive. I am an American citizen, not Korean citizen. But I do have a Korean Residency ID. I need tourist visa because I am an American. Is there anything else I need to bring?

Yeah I can't find it on their site. T_T

Sorry for intruding, but can a tourist rent a car in Thailand without an IDP? I am getting an IDP since I will travel beyond Thailand, but I heard that in Thailand, you can rent a car with a foreign government DL if the DL is in English. Is this true?

I am about to visit the Thai Embassy in Seoul tomorrow morning. Can I confirm the documents required to obtain the tourist visa? I want to make sure I have everything so I don't have to go back and forth.

Anything else I need or am I good to go? I checked the Thai Seoul website, it's pretty garbage. 

Oh sorry, I know that you are right, it's just that in the U.S., I would have to pay a lot more. glad it's different here.

so I don't need to show them my bank account and stuff like that? just fill out the application, 2 photos, and passport copy? nice.
