Just done a wall 4m wide by 3m, done it with cement screed, cost less than bht 2,000, less than a days work, but a lot of mess, to do, was quoted with plaster board bht 9,500

If not money conscious plaster board better

We like Lazada, often many different prices for the same thing, delivery generally quick, we are building another house and saving a lot on many items with Lazada, they are fair and honest on returns

We have about ten deliveries a week

Normally there is little or no pain for root canal treatment in my experience (and have had many) unless still have an abscess.  But I normally have a fairly high pain threshold so expect it can be painful for some.  With an abscess it is smelling salt for revival time if doing much of anything. 

I have very low pain threshold and need valium as well for root canal, have had horendous pain experiences over the years

we all have different levels of pain tolerance

Try ibrufen, and keep tablet on tooth until it has disolved, but get to A&E ASAP

Makro in KhonKaen stocked at normal levels

I think reality is that most of us have people near us with a car. Tell your neighbors that you need to go urgently to the hospital and there should be someone who will help you. If necessary give them 1000B tip.

Disagree have a few already advised one day you might need them, tell them in advance you will pay 5,000 to 10,000 , MONEY MOTIVATES, and maybe you are still alive

Its probably why KK has had many places shut effective today 

 

Covid-19: Khon Kaen shut down from today until April 12th - 28 kinds of places ordered closed immediately

Maybe you could elaborate a little

Just saying.

Well thats only six families in thailand so for the rest of us thats OK

Its good to see an updated thread on this topic as everything is changing so often and so quickly

To exist maybe to live NO, and nothing for emergencies, also no social security

DO NOT DO IT

Maybe he should just close the borders, airports and land and seaports

And if its coming it will still get in

Any recommendations for good agent KhonKaen, simple marriage extension, annual and multi entry reentry, with all the funds and paper work, just want to avoid the hassle and happy to pay for that

Prof. Chucheep

 

Bangkok Christian Hospital on Mindays, Bumrungrad Hospital on Thursdays.

 

He is the top colirectal surgeon and can manage yoyr anal fissure, hemoorhoids etc. For gastritis he may refer you elsewhere.

I underwent 13 hrs on the operating table, at Chulalongkorn under this man,  he did remote surgery I have no scars !!!! and believe him to be the very best, nice man as well

To get original appointment you need to preregister with Bangkok Christian and be there several hours before the clinic opens like 6.00 am for 1 0clock clinic, my loving wife did most the waiting

If you need more info PM me and I will give you my phone number

Many contradictions

Proposals put forward by transport minister Saksayam Chidchob to DLT officials and the police say that Thai drivers will only be banned when they have accumulated 100 points on their licences, claimed a section of the Thai media. 

According to points already proposed this would mean having to be caught drink driving a staggering 25 times before you would be off the road for a year. 

Alternatively you could go through 50 red lights or go the wrong way down a road 50 times before being banned. 

You would have to flee the scene of an accident 34 times before losing your licence. 

Or drivers could look at their phone 100 times or motorcyclists could ride on the sidewalk or not wear a helmet 100 times before they were obliged to put the keys away for a year.

MThai.com said this was all part of encouraging Thais to be better drivers. Saksayam is making the proposals to the Department of Land Transport and the Thai Police, they claimed. 

The media also said that when 100 points is reached a driver could take the test again and get a new licence. But if they amassed 100 more points that would be it - a lifetime ban from driving. 

German and Swiss testing procedures are also being studied to upgrade the Thai driving test, they reported. 

MThai.com said that the following points system applied:

One point: Using a mobile phone while driving, not wearing a seatbelt or helmet, riding on the sidewalk

Two points: Going through red lights or going the wrong way

Three points: Organizing street racing, fleeing the scene of an accident or driving under the influence of drugs

Four points: DUI and driving while intoxicated with 200mg of alcohol in the blood and causing injury or death

Thaivisa cautions that this report - and its interpretation by us here - makes a stark contrast with previous proposals to ban drivers after they amass just 12 points. 

The claim about getting 4 points for 200 mg of alcohol seems odd, we further note, as the limit for DUI in Thailand is just 50 for experienced drivers. 

Nice to know I am not the only one concerned about kids and motor bikes, the first bike lasted six months before I finally took it back and sold it, he was refusing to wear crash helmet all the time, removing mirrors, disconnecting mile meter so could not monitor and going outside agreed set limits

At the same time he was banished to temple for two years

When he came back he went to hotel school, on a push bike, for the first year, recently got him a nice motor bike again and so far so good, he is respecting the rules most of the time

We do not want him killed like many other young kids

I still think about a GPS, or maybe just tell him one is fitted and well hidden !

Chulalongkorn, have a specific clinic, for this and with two shot, anaesthetic very painless, all up takes about 2/3 hrs with prep, recovery etc, price may well be the most reasonable, so far had two done there

An observation, Dr Art Hiranyakas, is a top colorectal surgeon,  he is based at Bangkok Hospital in Phuket, he trained with Dr Chucheep one of the very best, Art chooses to live in Phuket, because he says quality of life is better there for his family, you can also have a consultation with him in BKK at Bangkok hospital, where he attends on a weekly basis

When I consulted with Art, the estimates in Phuket were many many times higher than Chula BKK

Follow Sheryls advice, and do NOT pay local bill ( suggestion only) if it is a govt hospital, say get back from my local hospital, 30 BHatt scheme

Thais generally do not know the rules, I was about to be hit for step kids dental costs, until I said how do their friends manage these bills, local hospital has dentist four days a week,  kids now go there, my wife goes there as well, regular maintenance covered
