I like Dr. Parichart Chalidapong at St Louis Hospital

But if you want to try much closer by, my suggestion would be either Sikarin Hospital in Bang Na or Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital  which is right off the motorway. 

 

Dr. Prachiya Paripunna is at both hospitals and had some traning in UK though I have no first hand experience or feedback on her. 

 

Associate Prof. Nopadon Noppakun at Samitivej Srinakarin would be another option. 

 

Exactly what drug did he apply for treatment? The gold standard is permethrin 5%. 

 

 

Thanks Sheryl, 

He has tried permethrin 5% several times. And both me and my wife has done a treatments too, just to make sure we got rid of everything. Wife and me haven't had any symptoms at all, so now we started speculating if it could be something else. 

We'll follow your advice and see one of the doctors you recommend.

My son has spent a year in boarding school overseas. Unfortunately he managed to get scabies. He's had several treatment's already but seems like he can't get rid of the stuff. He's done all the right things every time he's been treated, like washing all his clothes at 60°c 

Unfortunately it keeps coming back and now we're in doubt if it's actually scabies.

Any recommendations on a good dermatologist somewhere in Bangkok. We're located in Samut Phrakan but are willing to go anywhere as long as it's a good dermatologist.

My 15 year old son is supposed to move to DK to start boarding school at the beginning of the next term (August) 

Because of the present Covid situation and quarantine, my wife is not keen at joining him. I am at work elsewhere at the moment but my plan is that on my next leave from work I'll meet him in Dk. 

Will there be any problems involved in letting him go on his own? I am thinking in regards to Thai immigration. He holds dual citizenship so he is traveling with 2 passports, showing his Thai passport in Bangkok and his Danish passport on arrival in DK. He is used to travel interstate by plane so I am not worried about the trip itself.

Thanks for the advice. We ended up leaving the vehicle with one of the car wash shops. After making a couple of enquires where the price was approximately the same we decided on a shop.

I'm excited to see if they managed when I pick up the car this arvo since there was literally tar everywhere and bitumen road on the fenders.

Because of poorly organized roadwork here in Chiang Rai I've had my car splashed with tar/bitumen. 

It's literally a bit everywhere. Doors, panels, wheel cases, brake dics etc. ????

Does anybody know what to do?

What type of visa/extension do you have? I had assumed you wanted to extend a tourist visa or 30 day waiver.

 

If that is not the case then my previous advice to check in to a hotel is wrong.

I am on visa exempt since I normally work 8 weeks on 4 weeks off. So I rarely stay more than 4 weeks. But I am still obliged or rather my wife is to register with immigration that I am staying at our property. Only difference this time is that we are going away so I wont be sleeping at home but at a hotel. But I can imagine though that the immigration will give me a bollocking when showing up a week and a half late after arriving. 

When I arrive Bkk from overseas next week I'll go home and pick up the wife and son and fly north in the afternoon. Normally I'll arrive from work on a friday and wait till the following Monday before seeing immigration concerning TM 30.

This time I'll be arriving mid week but going away same day. Question is, do I need to do anything? Since we'll be away for about a week and staying in a hotel I guess the hotel will do the TM 30 registering and then when I get back home to BKK I'll see immigration?

Thanks for advice Sheryl. As always highly appreciated. I'll book a time with the doctor you recommend and discuss the matter with him.

To LM405, I'm also very stubborn so instead of just accepting that I can't go running I want to know if anything can be done. 

Hi all,

I am looking for a doctor in Bangkok (orthopedic I guess) with specialty in Achilles tendon problems. 

Been suffering from a sore Achilles tendon on/off for years in connection with running.

I've been trying all sorts of rehab. Now I am at the point where just a small jog is triggering severe pain. 

I think I might be suffering according to Uncle Google ???? from Haglunds deformity.

I would like to discuss this with a specialist who knows about this matter and not just the average doctor who prescribe medicine and tell me to stop running.

Any advice out there???

Does anybody know anything about Chiang Rai International School, good or bad. Been up to Chiang Rai and had a look at the school and first impression was that it looked good. But always difficult to say whether tuition is good or not. They follow the American curriculum. My son is at the moment at an English school following English curriculum but don't think the change should be to hard.

Happy ending,

Mitsubishi called us last week and told us to come in to have the lights changed free of charge. Could hardly believe it but today I went and had both frontlights changed without any charge. 

So sometimes you do get happily surprised in LOS ????

How old is it 20 year old or did you upgrade on headlight bulbs.

No no it's from 2016. Apparently you can't change the led without changing the entire housing.......

Had my Mitsubishi Pajero Sport serviced the other day. When we brought it in we mentioned to them that one of the front led strips had turned yellow.

When we picked up the vehicle 4 hours later they had a price for me for 2 new front lights, 11.800,- thb per light.......

Initially I thought that was a mistake but NO that is the price.

Am I being a tight a.., or is this a bit pricey???

The woman promised to call the main office to see if they could make us a deal.

Danish embassy no longer issue certificate of residence. Realized recently when I needed one for my bank but was told that they no longer does it. Asked them what to do when I needed my DL renewal and was told they couldn't help me. 

Regards certificate of residence. Since the embassy no longer issue the certificate and I don't hold a working permit. Only having non imm. O does this means no more renewal of the DL that I've had now for 12 years??? 

German Birkenstock sandals. A bit pricey here in Thailand but really really comfortable. Healthy for your feet and once you get used to them you don't wanna wear anything else.

Hi forum, 

Just been to the hospital with my wife who was diagnosed with hopefully an early stage of cervical cancer. The hospital we are at, is not able to offer treatment. I need advice about doctors hospitals, treatment etc. We are in Bangkok area.

Would be glad if Sheryl is around and maybe private mail me.

Regards certificate of residence.

I have at present moment a bank account with Bangkok bank. I've had it for years but would like to get access to online banking. My problem is since I work overseas and don't have working permit they don't wanna let me have online banking. After discussing the matter with them recently they agreed to look into it if I could get a stamp and a signature from my embassy (Danish) Unfortunately my embassy don't deal with these matters anymore. They don't mind verifying my passport but don't want to verify my Thai address. ( I own a condo in Bangkok with my Thai wife) 

So yesterday me and my wife naively went to immigration Samut Prakan thinking that with the condo deed in the hand it would be piece of cake to get a certificate of residence. But was I wrong! Oh my God I was almost given a bullucking and told that I was just a tourist. I've got non o 1 year multiple entry. 

Is there any way around or do I just have to accept that there is no way for me to either get online banking with Bangkok Bank or open an account with another bank???

Sorry for piggybacking the topic

I had surgery done on torn rotator cuff a few years ago at BNH hospital in Bangkok. Very good experience. Approximately 3 month after surgery I was back at work. The operation costed around 360.000 baht paid by my insurance. 

Today I have no probs with that shoulder doing CrossFit etc. 

You apply by 11:30 the morning of one day and pick up your passport with the visa in it the next afternoon.
Where are you living while you here?
It is possible to spend only one night in Savannakhet if you travel on a overnight bus to Mukdahan.
Two nights if you use a fly/ride service to Mukdahan via nearby airports. Nok Air's schedule is here: https://nokair.com/content/en/destinations/fly-n-ride/Ubon-Ratchathani-mukdahan.aspx  You need to arrive at the bridge by 6 pm in order to cross over to Savannakhet since that is when the Lao visa on arrival offices officialy closes.

Hmm you are probably right. It's just that I'm trying to spend my valuable time at home with the family since I'm already spending 5 days traveling to and from work out of the 28 days off.
So a trip to Savanakhet including visa application can be done in a couple of days???

I'm working 8 weeks on and 4 off. The 4 weeks spent in Thailand with Thai wife and son. Due to logistics it's not very easy for me to get the time to get visa organised. After reading on tv forum I'm getting a bit worried if I'm going to get in troubles next time when I arrive. Next time arriving will be fifth time this year on visa exempt......

Is it possible to apply for a Non-O 1year visa based on marriage after entering Thailand on 30days exempt visa without having to leave the country? My problem is that I am working at a remote area where mailing is very unreliable and no Thai embassy. So I would rather enter the kingdom and then apply for a 1 year Non-O if possible.

Sheryl!

When you refer to BPH is that Bangkok Hospital Pattaya?
