  1. There is no evidence that CBD products reduce chronic pain, and taking them is a waste of money and potentially harmful to health, according to recent research led by the University of Bath in the UK. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-03-cbd-products-dont-ease-pain.html
  2. But foreign ownership normally requires purchase price to have been transferred into Thailand by the owner and proven by official records. I am still not convinced that a will of land ownership to an unrelated foreigner would even be approved for one year to sell (which is the marriage joint property inheritance provision).
  3. Actually here in Thailand they are called Medical Certificate and I obtain on every doctor visit for insurance coverage (as bills do not indicate reason for visit but these do). Nothing to do with avoiding work (but they do have place for doctor to indicate such). But OP is about the changing world - and indeed sick days/entitlement seems to be one of many factors that may come back to bite sooner than we think. But then again we could believe the world is sick so all these sick days are valid for everyone. Respect seems to have lost the self for all too many of us.
  4. 2in1 HEPA+Carbon sheet 429 baht - Note I have front of Sharp unit face wall as that provides better clean airflow to room IMHO. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sharp-air-filter-model-fp-j30ta-fp-f30ta-fp-gm30b-b-fp-jm30b-b-kc-f30ta-w-fu-a28ta-sharp-air-filter-fz-f30hfe-fz-y28fta-fz-f30dfe-i1594486541-s19777206290.html?
  5. You failed to say that. Not sure it would be accepted per rules about property ownership so make sure it is legal - if it is will likely be the one year to sell provision.
  6. No such issue and mine runs 24 hours a day - replace at six months - use the more expensive filter with charcoal odor type rather than just HEPA that it came with.
  7. You have no rights to a girlfriends property.
  8. Normally it is cost effective to SWIFT transfer USD from your US bank to Thai bank for such amounts (as Wise fee increases with the amount sent). Just make sure your US bank does not do the converting to Thai baht.
  9. Are you having issues caused by these cataracts? Suspect may be reason they were found but if not there is normally no need to remove. 1. Pain is in wallet. Actual procedure only takes a few minutes and at most should not be much more than hair in eye feeling. 2. Safest is single vision to correct distance vision - reading glasses are cheap and easy to obtain. 3. Yes. 4. Immediate - you will be using eye next day. But best to do eyes a few weeks apart in case of issues. 5. Nothing - but you will need sunglasses for some time as everything will be much brighter and colors very bright. 6. Most common surgery with excellent success rate. Nothing to fear. But as said make sure you need to remove now (even if this requires another exam elsewhere). Will also provide more cost information.
  10. Suspect they are just mass dialing all numbers by computer - which is why most never connect to actual scammer (busy with someone else). But likely have a record of answered call so have you number for next time.
  11. Was never offered any such option for USD to Thai on web site - although some forms of payment might take longer and/or cost more/less.
  12. Did she dial international access number (0011) - 66 - your 9 digit number? As said +697 is scam calls prefix so likely just happened when you were actually expecting a call.
  13. Got me. Topic list does not indicate where anything is posted. Only "RV renewal" But appears was below 800k when allowed by rules (after 3 months until 2 months prior to next can go to 400k),
  14. https://bangkokdrugstore.com/?s=Glucophage+XR
  15. I was making gunpowder in grammar school back in 1950 when you had to search the library back shelf books for information and buy from the pharmacy. Kids can do a lot and if you do for real some will likely want to imitate. But from your above it seems your only concern is personal arrest - well I suspect in this months paranoia you could well be the next headline if anything went wrong.
  16. Actually copper theft is not limited to Thailand. It is very common in USA and expect has more to do with need for quick drug money than lack of employment.
  17. Indeed. Find a video to view if you must be teaching bomb making. Sorry do not mean this as a personal attack and expect you mean well - but it just has too many danger points IMHO.
  18. You do not send - they pay from a local Thai baht account - and in Thailand the payment is Thai baht. And you do get the option when sending USD from a US bank account - automatically converted to Thai Baht - not just if sending from a Wise account.
  19. It took longer to scroll down that post than my reading attention span. Will just have to accept not being in the top 10 (why is it always the TOP 10?).
  20. Be aware that medications used elsewhere may not be authorized here - and vis versa. A quick google only shows a local distribution/maker for Asia in 2021 but no information on availability or approval in Thailand.
  21. Wise pays using a local baht account - not with an international transfer. Bank paying is aware that funds are credited from an overseas account and can confirm this - but most transfers will be listed as a local bank payment on destination account passbook unless payment made by Wise account in the same bank.
  22. Perhaps you needed to scroll down a bit? In any case if you use BBL there is an option to have Wise flag you account to use that bank for payment every time. Not guaranteed but have not seen any report of not doing so for those that have accounts flagged. In worse case you can obtain paperwork from local bank paying to prove foreign origin for immigration use.
  23. You can get good reading glasses at Lotus or such for 200 baht or so (test before buy) - also on Lazada if you know what you need (although not much lost if buy several to find out).
  24. Be aware that one eye can mean entirely different procedures/lens so there can be a big difference even at same hospital. Single focus lens (safest choice but probably require reading glasses) can be a lot less expensive than the multi focus lens.
  25. Highly advise mini PC. I use BMax but that comes with Windows installed so perhaps you would be better with another (but get SSD). Many listed on Lazada. Better choice than all-in-one as if you have to travel easy to take and hook up to any TV with just HDMI cable.
