In 2011 I had an identical problem and I had it fixed at Pattaya Memorial Hospital within two days of inspection. Cost was 50,000 baht. It was an excel;lent job and I have had no problems since. Incidentally, Bangkok Pattaya Hospital gave me an estimate of 150,000 baht whilst the ever generous Pattaya International Hospital estimated 120.000 for the same operatrion.

Not another RTP photo op! Dear me, desperate times.

Including coppers riding on pavements?

No priority for 60 year olds plus. Khun Prayut is 66. Maybe that's why he's waiting? He wants to be last for the vaccine. Wanna bet!

Did mine online for the first time two weeks ago. Immediately downloaded and printed the "Approved" sheet, Still had to visit Immigration to collect my "date of next report" paper, I did it online to avoid a crowded immigration office!! TIT.

Twenty-four hours later, after half the prescribed dose. Wow! Superman! But, remember the song, "You ain't seen nothing yet!"

This story is not new here. It's almost endemic in Thailand. Twenty-two years ago, having been here for only three months I found that my monthly sterling transfers had not arrived in my SCB account. After two months I decided to take a Thai friend with me and confront the manager. I was told that it was common practice to choose accounts each month from which to  take money for high interest short term investments. Within two hours of me mentioning "Police" the money was in my account, in full. Amazing Thailand. Embezzlement, nothing more!

Google will not translate som nam na.   What does it mean?

"Serves you right" is probably as close as it gets.

In 14 years I have never witnessed what you have suggested only when they have a purge on those not wearing crash helmets then everyone is issues with a slip of paper which they have to present when going to the police station to pay the fine . I have even been stopped by the police had to empty my pockets then politely thanked and sent on my way but there again I live on one of the islands not on the mainland . Note when they do the helmet purge it doesn’t matter if your Thai or Foreign it’s the same fine . By the way when I was renting a house it was broken into I informed my landlord who informed the police they came no money was asked for they took notes and told me that 4 other properties had been turned over in the 24 hour period I was lucky they threw my bank cards on the floor and took baht out of my wallet which amounted to a 1,000 baht note I never carry wads of cash on me for that reason . Can only think you must live in a very corrupt area of Thailand maybe mover to the islands for a less stressful life.

Koh Tao maybe?
