I have no idea what you are talking about.

Anyone know if there is a foot massage shop in the basement? Thanks.

Anyone know of a shop at Pantip that can install ink tanks on my Canon printer? I'm not sure what is left there these days after their attempt at rebranding. Any printer repair shop can probably do it. I live close to Pantip but can go to Fortune Town if I have to, so please let me know of a shop you recommend there also. Thanks.

I'm looking for a used low mileage Aerox in excellent condition. Please contact me if anyone has one for sale or any suggestions about where to buy a used one is appreciated. I might just go buy a new one if I don't find a good used one. I live close to Lumpini Park. Can anyone suggest a good dealer close by? Thanks.

Thanks again Sheryl! I always appreciate your help. I saw Dr. Parit and he performed an upper GI endoscopy and a colonoscopy. He was definitely the right choice in all aspects! (Nothing major was discovered.)

I wonder how long it will take for CBD oil prices to come down. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Sheryl, can you recommend a GI doctor at Saint Louis Hospital or do you suggest spending the money for Bumrungrad because of the quality of care or that particular doctor? I will spend the money if need be but the last couple times I went to Bumrungrad it felt a bit painful when I got the bill, especially when compared to Chiang Mai. Edited: Just spent a few minutes looking at the listed doctors at Saint Louis. I will just go see Dr. Parit as you suggested.

Thank you! I appreciate your help.

Thanks. What is the actual brand/name of the supplement you are taking which contains d-limonene. It's not so clear when Googling it.

Thanks Sheryl. So the third ENT I went to in the last month finally did an endoscopy and said there were clear signs of acid and inflammation and probable silent reflux. He suggested Prevacid (said it would be a little better than omeprazole) but said it is only effective in 40 percent or so of his patients. That was in Chiang Mai at Chiang Mai Ram hospital, but I actually live in Bangkok. Anyway I have raised my bed and am mostly doing the "Acid Watchers" diet, although I can't really tolerate swallowing food. Liquids are OK. I don't want to take the Prevacid or any PPI and hope to find a doctor that can help me make educated decisions and do whatever is needed regarding testing as the next step. That is not easy. Any suggestions for a specific doctor?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Any recommendations for a good gastroenterologist in Bangkok specializing in laryngopharyngeal reflux (silent reflux)? Any comments on your reflux medical experience here are also appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. Where do you buy them?

When I am outside I want to conform to mask wearing even though I know it is not needed. Hence I have been wearing these very cheap (20 baht per box of 50) black 3 ply masks, but I cut out the first two layers. However, I have been having some throat problems and it occurs to me that two years of too cheap masks might be related. I run around Lumpini Park wearing them. Any suggestions for masks that fulfill the role of looking like a mask but allow relatively free breaths?

Excellent information! Thanks. It's walking distance for me. How often does that happen here!

I have an old 10 digit tax ID card/number. It seems this has been replaced by a 13 digit number for foreigners. Is that correct? If I live in the Rajadamri area where do I go to get the new card/number? What do I need to take with me? I have a work permit, but it is more of a kind gesture by my former university employer than a salaried job. I haven't filed for a refund in years although some small amount of withholding from my university and fixed accounts has been reported. It looks like they have just left my tax ID # blank on the reporting form they sent to me. I don't want to bother them about it as they are kind enough to provide the documents for the work permit every year. I tried to sign up for a Forex trading account using my Thai address and they did not accept my 10 digit ID # hence my interest in getting up to date. Realistically I don't want lthe Thai Revenue Office paying close attention to me. Is it just a formality or is the application for a new tax number a serious matter.? Thanks for any info.

A USA friend of mine entered Thailand a few months ago on a 30 day visa exemption and has since gotten a couple of covid extensions with the current extenstion expiring on 16 May. He went to the new covid extension office at Icon Square in Bangkok today to apply early for another extension. He wasn't turned down but was give an "application of stay is under consideration" stamp in his passport and told to return on 17 May. He did ask what that meant, but the officer couldn't really tell him. He asked if he would be on overstay when he returned on the 17th and was told he would be but it would be OK. Any idea what this means? Is it just a formality and he will be given two more months on 17 May or is there a possibility of denial and being told to leave the country toot sweet? Thanks.

Thank you!

Can anyone recommend a specific doctor for a throat problem I am having. I just need a consultation, not surgery. I prefer Bangkok Christian or Saint Louis hospitals. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no 7 day grace period after the due date for online reporting.

Only slightly related, I was staying at Nakornping Condo and the very helpful banana lady called the tire repair guy for me to come and fix a flat on my ancient Honda Wave. I'm not sure if it was the same guy as used to be there but there is a sign in front of the fruit sellers still there for repair. Anyway, he shows up and immediatly wants to sell me an 800 baht special for farang tire that he brought with him. I refused and asked him to just change the inner tube. He was clearly angry I didn't want to buy the new tire and charged me 250 baht for the inner tube. OK, that is life and he did have to ride to meet me. No complaints. He also made sure to not to properly attach the back drum brake so I had no rear brake when I rode it. This was a couple of years ago and it still bugs me when I think about it. They were building that hotel when I stayed there and the noise was annoying as my living room window faced it. Too bad about the new construction noise! Sucks. Everywhere I stay in Thailand eventually has construction noise!

I don't believe for a minute that anyone really cares that he only considered a black woman. Just another negative meaningless talking point to further divide the country for the sake of political power.

Had to mail it in after online rejection once again in Bangkok. Maybe every fourth mailed in report someone working there has the decency to return my copied documents. As my Mammy (God rest her soul) used to say, "Lord bless their hearts".
