Can anyone recommend a Thai language android app for toddlers?

Me and my family might need to spend a couple of days in Trang town during March 2016. If so, we thought of having some vacation as well. Could you recommend somewhere with a nice beach and possibility to go scuba diving. It's not necessarily one of the islands, if there's good beaches on the mainland that will do as well.

Military area. We had the same legislation in Sweden up until a decade ago. No foreign nationals allowed to such areas (could be entire sections of the archipelago etc).

Anything between 1500 to 4000 baht. I don't know anything about areas, that's what I want help with.

We're planning a trip to Koh Kood with a six months old baby. Will probably stay around five nights. Any beach better than the other when having a baby?

Is GrabTaxi still existing in Pattaya?

No one with contacts?

Me and my wife would like to visit a Sirindhorn College of Public Health and their dental programme. As English version homepages in Thailand tend to be at least seven years old and no one answers e-mails, maybe someone on this forum knows a person we can contact for a possible visit. Doesn't matter which one of the seven colleges, anyone with the programme will do.

No one has ever passed a Thai medical exam?

I think I am being misunderstood. I am not asking "what are my chances" I am asking "what would need to be done in order to be able to work in Thailand as a medical doctor".

And yes I have seen written and printed Thai, I am familiar with Thai script and pronunciation, I am however still learning grammar which is hard I admit, but on my free time while I study and I am complementing all medical terminology I learn with Thai medical terminology.

I don't know about medical exam, but I know that there is one (and only one) farang with foreign exam who has passed the dental exam. It shows that it is possible, but damn hard.

Sorry I negates to mention the two flights were booked independently so not one through ticket as this wasn't possible.

Will I be charged at the rate of the second leg only ie domestic to

domestic which is just thb 80 per kilo for bkk airways?

As it is an independent ticket they're in their full right to charge you for the 10 kg overweight.

Are you sure it's a low tone? I know ร can "carry" the sound, but isn't ร part of a new syllable and thus ศิ should be considered as a short vowel with a stop and then it is a high tone?

ศิราณี

Is it correct that the first syllable is high/rising (as it is a short vowel it's just high, though formally rising?) and the second syllable is low?

I'm half Thai. All children of a Thai citizen are eligeble for Thai citizenship. We're also eligable for O-visa, then he needs to show proof of his connection to Thailand, e g his mother's Thai ID

Thank you!

I'm thinking of giving my daughter, whom will be 25 % Thai, the name Siranee. What is the proper Thai spelling of that name?

Actually found one torrent, but after downloading i needed a password. Not sure if it was a fake file, but usually you recognize them by being named in such a way a legit file wouldn't be.

I'll have a look at Theprasit rd next month.

Anyone knows where I can buy (dental) scrubs, preferably also when they can stich names onto the scrubs?

Look for member samran and pm him.

He should give you the answer

Thanks!

Anyone who can help me guidning me through this. I'm a luuk khrung and I have a thai birth certificate (issued by the Thai embassy in my home country), but I have not been registered in the baan thabien due to the fact that I am living abroad and I do not want to be drafted. As I'm soon to pass 30 years of age I know I will be able to skip military service, but I think I have to go to the military office to be registered and have to pay a nominal fee. Where is this military office? Anyone who has been through this procedure in Pattaya?

As a dentist, I want to say don't forget to use reliable implants as well. Sometimes, for one or another reason, you have to remove the prosthodontics on the implant and if you (and your dentist) choosed to use a no name implant to save those extra 1000 baht you may be standing there with a useless implant, as there's no way to apply a new crown/bridge on it. Trust me, I've seen patients who installed implants i Estonia, Pakistan, France, Romania with fully functional implants (but with broken prosthodontics) and there's no way to use the implants as the patients don't know who installed it and the implant system used is more or less unknown (and might have closed down business).

In Sweden the three biggest producers of implants are Dentsply, Nobel Biocare and Straumann. Those fixtures (the implant "screw") will not fracture, a very uncommon complication but it happens some times with no name implant fixtures. Here, any dentist used to implantprosthodontics, will have zero trouble working with the big three. They have been around for decades and spare parts will remain in stock for years to come.

What happens if you fail the peripheral colour test? I passed when I got my expired license about 10 years ago, but I don't know how I did it. I'm red green colourblind. The first colour test was easy as I could distinguish the three different shades and as the people in front of me all said the colours loudly I figured out which shade (in my colourless world) corresponded to which colour. But in the peripheral test it was just wild guessing.

I don't think they're too keen letting her in based on a passport from the 1970's.

Thanks for the information. The reason she enters with Swedish passport is that she doesn't have a thai passport (but she has thai ID)

This is a question on my mother's behalf. She usually enters Thailand with her Swedish passport. When she enters on a tourist visa 60 days and extends it at Pattaya immigration they give her one year, on the grounds that she originates from Thailand. Do you know if it works the same way if she enters with the visa exemption 30 days and apply for an extension?
