Okay so she tickets the box for being well educated - not exactly Ivy League though. Maybe she will become an American Presidential candidate down the road if things do not work out here in Thailand - the only qualification needed is to have been born in the USA which she was it seems. I wonder which airline her husband flies for.

Re; "Thirayuth Suwankaesoorn" ............................cannot find a photo online of this person. I guess he is just a very private person.

This happens alot. I now allow 20 mins in my time of booking with Grab. I take screenshots too encase I need to cancel due to excessive time spent waiting.

I did a sleep study in January 2021 at Bangkok Hospital CM. I purchased a APAP (CPAC) machine in CM assisted by the ResMed Rep. Doctor recommended or approved my machine the ResMed Model AirSence 10 Autoset made in Australia - cost 60K plus mask. I bought direct through the Rep who visits CM hospitals routinely. The cost through the hospital will be ALOT more. My insurance covered 80% of initial cost plus replacement parts. You will need to have a stock of Air Filters from ResMed especially in the burning season. Upon taking the machine home it stayed in its carry bag for a full week before I tried it out for real. The mask was a pest at first along with learning to sleep with my mouth closed. Now nearly 4 years on I awake feeling good. Good luck with your teatment.

Try Bangkok Hospital CM Skin Clinic. Ask for female Dr Thorfun Wongwan. I have been under her care since 2021 if not longer. I cannot comment on prices though as I use Insurance. I use for other matters and generally endorse this hospital on price, location & efficiency.

Some of the comments imply the DMax PUs are actually well maintained and tuned to gain performance at the expense of other peoples lungs. So increasing the frequency of vehicle inspections wil not resolve the issue as the owners are probably well prepaired to de-tune in time for any inspection. What might be useful is a 4 digit phone number specifically for reporting the registration number of vehicles betching dark smoke. Once the system receives 5 reports a summons is raised and a mobile inspection unit pays the owner a surprise visit. A job for Big Joke I reckon.

Logical idea however hard to believe that in Thailand the money would find it's way to the hospitals.

Give it a go...............see what happens. Will any one of the relatives want their kids to play nearby where the "dog stands by on guard duty". The post reads like the dog was not provoked just reacting negatively for the first time. The cost of covering the medical bills & cosmetic surgery will be big bucks over a long time. The dog has lost his family friendly licence...................village justice will prevail eventually.

Maybe we can car pool.

The folk I support here in Thailand are ALL in the grey economy and pay no income taxes whilst still having a vote. They will loose out to the value of any Thai tax I pay. If you maintain 800K for the purposes of visa renewal you are not actually showing any Thai income except interest accrued. If you go the 65K per month route that income is already spent 100% in the "village" economy so to speak. The resultant "village" income will drop by the tax deducted which will go to central government coffers and will not be returned directly to the local economy. So effectiviely there is no levelling up with the locals only a net decline. I good vote loser policy it seems. No matter what you will have to declare your global income I expect once you are given a Thai Tax ID number. Until the dust settles limit your days incountry to 179 then leave until 2025 and only bring cash into Thailand. Note: Some tax authorities have a general definition of 180 days that being for example in any continuous period of 365 days over successive tax years if 180 days are spent in country you would be a tax resident.

So if the victim (any victim) passes away (God forbid) the Thai Police are still powerless to charge the assailant?

The Boys in Brown are going to get really busy.

The Bee Keeper.

Agree.........................even if the vehicles stop the bikes tend not to & they all move off against the red light when no more people are crossing.

Really....................... I have stopped using the official pedestrian crossings you simply cannot rely on Thai drivers to stop when they have a Red light. You would think going through a Red light would be a big deal not so in most Thai cities it seems.

Hmmmmm thinking ............. If I end up paying Thai tax on what I bring into Thailand it just means there will be that much less spent in the local community & surrounding areas. Thailand as a whole will not be any better off. At the personal & local level of "family & friends" and all kinds of estabishments all will be worse off. Effectively the tax on me will be passed on to the locals as I will have less funds to spend with them. If I pay Thai income tax I expect something in return. If being taxed as a local citizen I would expect the same state benefits (whatever they are), the right to vote and relief from any Dual Pricing as a Gov quoted policy eg., National Parks & Health Care.

Thai airport immigration - back to basics. Use more international airports to share the arrivals workload.

To have a future in Thai polics and not to let his voters down again he needs to be squeaky clean from the get go. He needs better advisors around him.

Medical & Dental tourism if you have insurance ........................got the UK NHS beat.

Or Bodø, Norway

If trusts are not available in Thailand and Thai property aside why do you not set one up in your home country?
