Ihm just curious: pricing at government hospitals
cjinchiangrai replied to DUS's topic in Health and Medicine
I go to the local clinic every three months. It takes about three hours to go through the cycle and costs about 1500 baht including three months of meds. They are very nice. What is interesting to me is how they have arranged the system. Monday is weekend trauma leftovers. Tuesday is Obstetrics, Wednesday is diabetes, Thursday is vaccinations and community health.... The specialists come in to treat the whole area on their topic. It actually makes sense. The most critical thing for us as consumers is to understand if our malady is typical or not. It may be our only heart attack but it is not the only one for the cardiologist. If you do not need a super specialist, try the government hospital. Another point, ask if your meds are the same ones the locals are getting. I reduced my meds bill by 10k a month by using the locally supplied products. Exact same care without a brand name. -

Best Place to apply for e-visa in USA
cjinchiangrai replied to dclaryjr1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
EVisas are online so I would look on the internet. You can get 30 days with a US passport without a visa. You can also extend for an additional 30 days for 1900 baht and some paperwork. -
Couple this with a chart on prevalence by breed and it is even more impressive. Pit Bulls are a small percentage of the population but a massive percentage of injuries. Retrievers dwarf all other breeds by population but injuries are tiny. Police have moved away from Rottweilers as well due to their unstable temperament.

The science on that is pretty clear, and agreed upon by those that know what they are talking about.

Horrific death of 11 in passenger van crash in Thailand
cjinchiangrai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Those minivans are a menace to everyone. Hyper-aggressive drivers, operating at untenable speeds, at the behest of greedy owners. I am nervous sharing the roads with them. -

That has to be the Europeans wearing socks with sandals. There is no shortage of trashy Americans too though.

Renewal Of 5 Year Driver's License
cjinchiangrai replied to patsfangr's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Just renewed this morning and got the 5 years for cars and bikes. They were fine with the Elite visa and the Yellow book for my residence. They added my ID card for their data. I have to go to the main office in Chiang Rai for an IDP. I will also get a 5 year IDP independently. About 800 baht all in including multiple copies of my documents. So ~400 baht for a single license. -
Can't buy/register a vehicle on OA???
cjinchiangrai replied to Sandboxer's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I had done the 90 day anyway but registering the car and bike was easy enough. I got 4 residence letters and did the vehicles and licenses at the same time, Now I have to go renew ???? -
The AQI can vary a lot over the course of the day. The government tends to report the most recent measurement but other sites may do average sampling over a period of time. You can argue over which provides the most accurate assessment. I would not want averages over more than an hour or so but the instantaneous reading can be deceptive too.

Volunteer with a real NGO and then plan on doing real work for them.
