Yes, well next day is rather quick !   which station do you use ?
takes about a week usually because they won't want to be going to the DLT office every day..and you still have to go back to collect it from them..
so I'd rather use that trip to go to Central instead.

Actually it is getting harder   today I went to have my old car inspected,
they tested the lights and (new) alignment of headlights , the brakes and exhaust emission /noise
obviously its not as rigorous as it could be and thankfully not as rigorous as a UK  MOT
(overboard IMHO)
 
There was a Mercedes Benz  to be checked right after mine..but the owner of the test center  had to refuse to even start the test as Benz's headlights didn't work...he couldn't even fudge the test as its all recorded/photographed which goes into the computer.
 
He also mentioned that  vehicles converted to run on gas  (LPG,CNG ) will soon have to have the gas installation tested (at specialist center) every year instead of the now every 5 years.
 
So got my "MOT"  220 baht   and compulsory government insurance 640 baht  [emoji1]
they where very busy but worked fast so didn't wait too long
and on Saturday off to "Central" for the Tax disc...
 

 

The one piece of advice i can give,is do not go to any of the private eye clinics 4 years ago i went to one in Pattaya ,long story short must have operation next week for cataract 52k charged 4k for drops est etc went for a second opinion at Satahip naval hospital, full battery of tests 900 baht. Yes you have a cataract very early stages, come again 6 months ,i was then told had pressure in my eyes and will need drops.
This was 4 yrs ago ,i go every 6 months ,still no need for operation ,last time had extra tests ,no problems.
My doctor is a miserable old gal ,but i trust her 100%
Sorry for going on but its a good govt hospital,you dont get seen straight away but even as a falang i am treated well.

As far as I know they also charge farangs extra for some things.
 
By the way, the quote I was replying to was not yours: it was the OP's. I dont know why the forum software showed it as being yours.

 
As a foreigner you require their special overcharging service. In many places here it is obligatory.

My wife was out running this morning and said she saw a monk and some ladies praying at the scene of the accident.she thought someone must have been killed there.

You're making judgements on people purely based on their nationality. That's pretty nasty.

Another referendum coming soon!

Hi everyone,
 
I recently decided it was about time  I had a routine eye check and asked someone to phone Rutnin hospital to find the cost of standard eye tests.  I asked someone to phone them on my behalf.  She was given a price for the test, and then my friend mentioned that I am not Thai.  The hospital then advised that the cost was now nearly double the price initially quoted.  When challenged as to why that was, the reason given was quite vague - it requires a different kind of service.  Perhaps the details were lost in translation or deliberately vague, I don't know.
 
Can anyone shed some light of this "different kind of service" or confirm that the double pricing structure quoted is actually incorrect.  If it's a simple miscommunication, then I needn't boycott the place.
 
Thanks

That will go down well in Northern Ireland, The Isle of Man, the Scottish Islands, The Isle of Wight. Great idea.

Many lottery sellers charge 100 baht, no matter if your Thai or not.

They only quoted the CBI and PwC...
 
Fact is British and None British companies with interests in the UK have taken a big hit over Brexit, Hopefully we will see a recovery Brexit nonsense is dead and buried.
 

I have read so many posts on here and if you are not gay i cannot understand why you would want to have sex with someone who has a dick even if he looks like a girl when there are so many good looking real girls?
