  1. This is a very sad and shocking story. So sorry to see it.

     

    Its a reminder of the dangers of travelling in a third world country where everything seems fine, until its suddenly isn't. This could have happened to any one of us being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

     

    Hoping the girls have a full recovery.

  2. Violence has no place in a civilized society.

     

    However one of the main differences between the rise of Hitlers Far Right Nationalism in the 1930's leading to the terrible events of World War 2 is that today there is a confrontational opposing force to prevent history repeating as such.

     

    Government should prevent all of this although they don't always do the right thing do they.

  3. I want to cancel my work permit and I found the link to the form to submit in an older ThaiVisa thread but the link no longer works.

     

    Is there a standard form to send into the Labor Department to cancel the work permit and do I need to send my work permit book or can I keep hold of that?

     

    Also, if I started work again or registered a new business in future could I simply apply again at any time in the future for a new work permit?

     

    Im on Non O visa so my visa isnt an issue. Thanks in advance for any information.

  4. I have a large hole after extraction of a molar a couple weeks ago. The gum should heal and fill in the gap. In the meantime eat at the other side. I am guessing 3-6 months to heal the gap in the gum. Keep using salt water washes might help growth.

  5. Officially yes although when my wife filed for divorce from her ex her local amphur in Isaan told her not to marry again for 1 year and they said this as if it was some rule.

     

    Its not a law but if you are at the mercy of the local amphur in the sticks to authorize documents you have to take these nuances on the rules into consideration.

    @NightSky was that directed to me or to @OJAS ?  (You replied to the topic rather than quoting a post)

    If to me I can assure you that I'm VERY aware of such things -  (See #156) - I just haven't had occasion to comment on them here before

    I was adding information to the OP's topic which is why i didn't include a quote.

  7. Ring fencing and fraud prevention crackdown at UK banks has been happening since 2017. You're probably one of the few left to notice these changes. Its an inconvenience but ways to manage it if you really do need to maintain a UK bank account whilst travelling outside the country.

    Not the same. Look it up.

    I know already about what's available in Thailand.

    It's not the same. 
    Neosporin and related brands is a specific thing that are the go to wound thing in the U.S. Why would the same thing not be available here? I understand with some fancy scrips but that stuff is BASIC!

     

    It seems there is a powder product in Thailand with the same drugs in it as Neosporin. Its called Banocin and contains:

     

     

    Clioquinol :30 mg

    Bacitracin :75 i.u.

    Neomycin sulphate :2.5 mg

     

    https://www.drugs.com/international/banocin.html

     

    Another alternative with a single drug in it is Bacitracin also available from Thailand. The difference can be seen here:-

    " My dentist" would have told you to go for a crown and charge you 5,500 baht for one. Last time it was 4,500 baht.

     

       The problem with crowns is that their material is harder than a tooth is which might cause new problems.

     

        I can't afford golden ones to be precise. 

     

    I had a palladium crown fitted a few years ago. The metal is soft but cheaper than gold or platinum. Root canal and three visits later was about 10,000 baht in total.

     

    (well at least they told me it was palladium it could have been made from anything for all I know)

  10. I had a molar removed last week, not something I want to repeat often mind you. The female dentist was really excellent, it was out within 5 minutes of me sitting in the chair -- 800 baht. 

     

    I try to go every 6 months for a routine checkup and clean and more often only if required although it usually ended up being about 8 months if I forget to book.

     

    Find a good low cost independent dentist, the bigger brand chains charge much more. 

     

    A family member had a tooth out last week in the UK costing 70 pounds so my 800 baht bill was very cheap in comparison. I will always have dentistry done in Thailand for lower cost, high quality treatment.
