    Patong - The Wake

    It's a private hospital that provides Social Insurance treatments from the Thai government. Mission hospital is a medical institution established in the 1940s by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. when i first went in 2 weeks ago, i was seeing a dr nurse in 2 minutes and a dr in 5 when i had my appt, waited 10 minutes but i was early> I have been using them for years, YES Bangkok -phuket and Siriroj are pushed for Farangs, but they cost more for the same care and service, Cost wise its alot less than the 2 international ones, BUT maybe 35% higher than the government ones ( Vachira , Patong, Thalang) but the quality is far better> waited an hour? sure it could happen if there has been a rush of people showing up to, but down a hospital cause 1 person had to wait....... I went in once about 8 years ago with a busted collarbone and had a shot of morphine within 5 minutes got insurance? of course go for the most expensive .

    Patong - The Wake

    try mission, i find it excellent service and quality care Yesterday had a follow up on Pneumonia i caught which resulted in a 3 night stay there 12 days ago) Chest Xray, blood work , Meds ( 750) and Dr consultation ( 500) 2,490 baht
  3. get an android box, add kodi and a few addons, ( daddy live & the TV app for news/sports, Elementum & Scrubs 2 for all ur tv, movies) why pay for TV?
  4. take both passports< Since ur OLD passport is now cancelled , you will be stamped out on ur new one, they will make a note of it as well in the new one> come back with a 60 day visa exempt on new passport I'd avoid Poi Pet Go to Laos
  5. so? those are NOT evisas which are applied for online and cost a bit more where accepted: POI PET YES Koh Kong YES https://www.cambodiagovisas.com/border-crossing
  6. Laos and Cambodia offer evisas. NO FULL Page visa only a entry/exit stamp so ........
  7. How can u lie? its all in the computer, ur complete visa history new passport wont make a bit of dif ( regardless just got a new one last nov) good point about driving License, as to get the 5 year u need be on a non o/b
  8. one thing no one has brought up and one thing i am concerned with as this is very attractive How will immigration look at issuing this new 5 year visa and seeing the applicant has been on a yearly retirement ( or marriage) extension for 1, 2, 5 years?
  9. BUT you need tie up 800,000 baht/year VS 500,000 baht for one day 5% interest on 800.000 /year=40,-000 baht x 5 = 200,000 baht!!! NOW which is cheaper
  10. ONLY if u in Pattaya ( or willing to travel there) + 3800 for re entry Yea and tie up 800,000 for a year vs 500,000 for the day
  11. no mention and am curious if there an age limit why pay an agent 20.000+++ baht/year ( cause u dont want tie up 800,000 baht) to get an RE extension when you can put 500,000 in the bank of YOUR country ( and take it out the next day) and never have a problem for 5 years?
  12. visas are NOT always tied to passports I have had in the past, 10 year Indian visa and a 10 year China visa when passport expired i just carried both ( new and old) and the old visa is valid, till its not. a 5 year DTV visa will still be valid in an expired passport and u will ben stamped in on new passport
  13. after the first 3 posts skipped to reply 4 pages of 100% NOTHING haven't spoken with my dad in 35 years, wonder if he is still looking for me??
  14. ur staying ONLY 6 months /year bet u cant stay a full year with 4 entries>>> its the airlines that ask for onward tickets and i was asked Nov 22 flying in after 15 months in Cambodia u have been lucky but doesn't really mean much for someone else -------------- if its unlimited land entries is it still unlimited flying in? at least until they say no more
  15. yea, if u leave 800,000 in the bank, but not if u use an agent BUT as everything, i bet they dont allow UNLIMITED 3 month stays in Thailand still its great for expats in Cambodia and Laos wanting to cross monthly for shoping
  16. no idea when u were there, but i was in 75 and it was not as u described>| PLUS Thailand got 39+ million tourists in 2019 NOT Bangkok congrats on getting the DTV Makes good sense as easier/cheaper than using a agent for getting my 1 year retirement extension here. I would love to attend a thai cooking class and learn to make Phat Thai 🙂
  17. 10,000 baht!! NOTE the NOTE below> so when??? Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin posted on Monday a message on his X social media account to inform about Thailand new visa measures, as follows: "To complement the recent ranking by World of Statistics as the fourth most beautiful country in the world, we will soon be granting 60-day visa exemption for nationals from 93 countries and territories and visa-on-arrival for nationals from 31 countries and territories. Apart from that, under the Ignite Thailand vision, we are granting a 180-day visa for digital nomads and those traveling to Thailand to take courses in Muay Thai and Thai cuisine, as well for seminar, organizing music festival and art exhibition, and medical treatment purposes."

  19. exactly as u need show ur/turn in old license> do u have a photocopy? go ask at the dept they can tell ya 100% Usually cor and medical required.
  20. did anyone doubt the outcome? Rich parents seriously?? steal a cops gun in America and see how long u live
  21. if a reputable agent no cons i didn't do a 90 day report for 6 months My agent did my yearly extension and was charged and extra 1,000 baht for the missed 90 day report (s) if you missed a report date, the passport is required How safe is it to mail ur passport to ur embassy in Bangkok for a new passport??
  22. Thai tourist visa average $40 so every thai embassy will loss lots of $$ 30 day extension 1,900 baht so immigration will lose lots of cash Hotels, restaurants tour agents gain
  23. when you get an extension ask immigration when you need do ur 90 days Many immigrations will reset ur 90 days to the day ur extension is issued As to the original question come in on a visa exempt, apply for a non O visa ( 2,000 baht) deposit ur money, after 2 months back to immigration and apply for ur 1 year extension ( 1,900 baht) Via an agent anywhere from 25,000-50,000 , all depends on where you are with Pattaya the cheapest Not hard at all,, either way
