    I have not used any of them so cannot comment on their work. I know them as I once consulted on modifying my own car, but could not get the engine imported through Thai Customs.... Grrrr.

    Would like direct but wish to compare with one that stops about half way, I like to get out and stretch my long legs. I don't fly well, .... strictly a land animal.

    Can you please elaborate a lot, DaRoadrunner.  Where from and where to, what class, budget etc.  

    Bkk - Germany return, economy, 3 month return validity. Wish I could get a flexible open return date but they don't seem to do this anymore.

    New passport transfer of retirement extension stamp

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted · Edited by DaRoadrunner

    I did mine without any other documents. Probably should have gone to Immigration immediately, but left it till the next visa due date. No problem.

     

    I did get an odd look and the question.... "why you have two passport?".... (Duh, it hurts my brain).

     

    But then, every IO is different! (Mine was CW).

    Is it worth learning Thai

    4. You make friends and have friends of friends that can be helpful and influential... Such as a friend that is an Immigration Officer at BKK, can be helpful when you have loads of visa exempt stamps in your passport.

    Not sure I'd want an IO as friend, but I am curious how you got the visa exempt stamps?

    Ignorance is total bliss. 

    When I learned Thai I thought it would make life easier and help me be accepted and integrate... it didn't. We will never be accepted here. Doesn't matter how long you stay here, you are never going to become a Flintstone.

     

    I also thought it would help me chat up girls.... it did! But they still prefer Thai men to us. We re just a walking ATM.

     

    Problem now is I can't switch it off and am forced to listen to what the morons are saying. It is amazing how primitive and basic their mentality is.

     

    In business meetings I would often sit there and say nothing, the Thais did not know I understood most of what they said, which led to much embarrassment for them later.

     

    Disappointed with their behaviour and ignorant lack of depth..... Maybe it is time I left Thailand? But I really can't be arsed to move. Plus, on looking around there are problems in other countries too.

     

    If staying long term it's useful to be able to read and speak.... as for writing Thai.... forget it.

    Red warning stamp on 3rd Vientiane tourist visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Tourist visa is just that. Tourist visa for tourist. I wager you are not a genuine tourist since you have your own condo. Thai Authorities don’t give shxt if you owned the whole condo block. They just want to see that you are a genuine tourist thus the outbound ticket. Get the appropriate visa for your circumstance. Don’t blame it on thailand! Given your self entitlement attitude, I would say good riddance !

    Shouldn't go buying condos if you can't get anything more permanent than a Tourist Visa.

    NeoTract Announces Independent Analysis in UK Confirming Cost Effectiveness of UroLift® System Treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
     

    About the UroLift System

    The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Nearly 60,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at www.UroLift.com.

    Unemployed Thai man nabbed in Bangkok for "doing a runner" at luxury hotel restaurants

    Hotel prices are as much as you can afford.  Isn't that the beauty of the choice that's laid out in front of you?  I always factor in the additional tax in making my final decision on a room.  

     

    Is everyone so concerned about what they can't afford these days?  Personally, if I want something then I work towards attaining what I want to achieve.  If it means putting in a few hours of extra work a week then that's what I'll do.  

    Isn't Thailand getting ridiculously expensive anyway? And with greed as the driving force it's gonna get worse.

    Raw milk in Thailand?

    This is an often repeated urban legend.  All fresh milk here is exactly that:  milk from cows, not from powder.  Indeed, I posted the figures for milk production and for milk consumption in Thailand on this site a few years ago.  They're virtually identical.

     

    The one really fake product is Thai "butter", which is made from a chemical brew, including imported butter oil.  It's not churned from cream.

    My information came from the farang managing director of one of the milk distributors here. It's powder reconstituted. There is comparatively little fresh real milk here. Take a look around.... how often do you see a cow in Thailand? There do appear to be Oxx though!
