I know... Terrible isn't it!

Food is less than desirable and now they don't serve "old speckled hen" during the lunchtime window. The brave man selling keaoteow opposite does.

Go figure...... A Purachai remnant!

Only thing worth going for is beer. Food sucks

Hi Guys,

Have my yearly renewal of married visa this week. I didn't get an appointment so wondered what was the best strategy to avoiding a very long wait. Last year I went early around 6am and put my name on the list, then went to the airport for breakfast until the office opened and we were out by around 10am. Do they still run the name on list system?

Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks,
Tony.

Quick update. I fortunately had other funds in another account and the lady at immigration said 400k across the two accounts is ok. Phew!

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions.

Tony.

Thanks for the suggestions. I went straight away to the immigration office and very politely explained the situation to the lady that has processed my married visa for 5-6 years. She said it is a problem but she did give a little bit of wiggle room. Apparently if the money had been put back the same day it would have been ok, but I didn't realise my mistake until the next morning. Funds were rep[laced within 24 hours tho. Anyway got to get my bank book updated and go and show her on Monday, she said she will look at the book and then ask "upstairs" what can be done. I will update again on Monday.

Hi,

Yesterday I inadvertently took 1,000 baht out of my bank account used to show 400K for my married visa. The total dropped to 399,400. I have to renew my visa in three weeks and realise now that I have broken the rule of having the funds there, complete for 3 months. I immediately topped it back up to over 400K but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this type of thing and could give any sugegestions.

Thanks,
Tony.

I have had a painfull spot above my front teeth at about the level of the bottom of my nose for a few weeks, this week it got more painful and my face became swollen. I had Xrays done at CM Ram 1 hospital and was told I have an abscess above the root of the tooth. I was told I would need a root canal treatment but the tooth does not appear to be damaged or rotten and its not at all painful. I am concerned about the root canal treatment and the likelyhood that infection gets trapped in the sealed root and would like to explore other alternatives preferably from a biological dentist. Anyone know where I could get some good advice?

Thanks,

Tony.
