Dr Jimmy in Bangkok Pattaya - if he has not retired. His assistant was trained by the top man in Chiangmai since retired.

If you have blood in your urine or stool see a urologist soonest.

Two years ago my well known Orthopedic Doctor in Chiangmai sent me to Chiangmai MRI Clinic for Spinal MRI. 8,000 Baht. Much cheaper than the private hospitals where he has operated.

I went to the Tax Department in Chiangmai two days ago. I was the only customer there and the English speaking official could not have been more helpful. I gave her a list of 5 questions I wanted answered. She gave me 4 answers but said she would give my paper to her boss and I would hear from them later this week. She took me to a non English speaking official who entered my Chiangmai address into her computer and replaced my Bangkok TAX ID with a Chiangmai one. There is nothing to lose by going to one's local Tax Department and having a chat. I will not be using a Tax Accountant when my local Tax Department is so helpful.

Paragraph 18 of A Simple Guide to Personal Income Tax in Thailand states that UK State Pension is not covered by a DTA so it is assessable income in Thailand whilst UK Government or Civil Service, UK Armed Forces and some NHS Pensions are not.

I have lived in Pattaya Bangkok and Chiangmai and seen 10 dermatologists. I normally get sprayed on about 40 plus pre cancer spots with liquid nitrogen. Yesterday I got sprayed on 25 spots smaller than normal because over 14 years of regular treatment my skin has improved. I go back next week for a small facial incision. Two years ago I had a cancer operation with skin graft in Pattaya. This year I had melanoma cancer operation in Bangkok. I have seen Dr Wachiraporn of Chiangmai Ram for 13 years and for me she is Number One with regards to professionalism and cost. She trained in Thailand and USA.
