Lorry

They now say, they are not sure where to bring him, but should be an oculoplastic surgeon. Because he has a fractured orbita wall. According to their eye doctor, the double vision is not a neurological problem. The family is supposed to choose the hospital together with their eye doctor on Monday - it's probably best to follow his recommendation. Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai lists 3 oculoplastic surgeons on their website (no idea, whether they will be actually working during the holiday period): Dr Praelada Wongsirimetee Dr Suphitcha Pantarote Dr Laddawan Methakittrakul All seem to be from Chiang Mai University, and normally work in Bangkok Hospital once or twice a week. So, maybe Sriphat is a better option. Any recommendations?

Thats why I am surprised that the ophthalmologist wants to bring him there for eye treatmenr

A young friend is in McCormick Hospital after a head trauma yesterday. The CT scan showed some small bleeding in the brain, the neurosurgeon said it's nothing for surgery. He is fully conscious, can talk. But he also has some bleeding behind one eye, and double vision, and the ophthalmologist wants to refer him to Prasat Hospital, supposedly they have eye specialists. Money is no object, and I am wondering whether Bangkok Hospital or Ram wouldn't be a better choice? Who will be actually working, anyway?

You know, that's an anti-money laundering measure. Every trip, you can launder 30 or 40 B, even up to 107B (maximum fare). Of course, to launder a couple of billions, you need to do many trips. That's why there are so many people on the BTS.

@CharlieH gave you the complete and correct answer. SWIFT code plus account number. As for addresses: it's ok to use the address of your branch, doesn't really matter. Including their phone number doesn't hurt. Many banks also want that you include your address, preferably with phone number.

The English of most call center agents is better than that of most non-native speakers I have met in Thailand. Certainly better than that of the farang who populate Pattaya, including many of the native speakers there.

He "provides employment" lol. What a lovely way of saying "he exploits thousands" Sure, he got so rich by "providing" for the poor.

Thx for posting this. It happens that I avoid the junk food of 7/11 I don't like Makro, and it's too far, anyway (hundreds of meters) I don't shop at Lotus (BigC is closer and cheaper) I canceled True mobile 2 years ago and True online last year My favorite provider DTAC will disappear soon, anyway Vodphoone ??? Never heard of that I plan to cancel my TOT number anyway, because I don't use it anymore So, all I need to do now is to stop eating. I am too fat anyway.

According to this thread, there seems to be no universal answer to my question - it depends on the situation/legal context, in different situations age may be calculated differently. Section 19 and 25 of the Civil and Commercial Code, for instance, stipulate that for these 2 situations (ceasing to be a minor, ability to leave a will) age is counted by "completed" years. https://www.samuiforsale.com/knowledge/thailand-family-laws.html

I know this, but do Thais really retire the day after their 59th birthday because now they "are 60"? Is a girl not a minor anymore the day after her 17th birthday? I find this hard to believe.

3 days after my 59th birthday, my hospital wrote in my patient's file "age 60" My niece just turned 17 and tells everyone now she is legally grown up, 18 y.o. It never occurred to me Thai officialdom might calculate the age the same way Thais colloquially do it. IMHO I would still not qualify for retirement at 60 or the senior MRT card (for 60 y.o.). And my niece is not 18, so no driver's license etc. Am I right?

Amazing. Call center said it's not possible - I very much suspected that they handle every customer differently. That's the whole point of AI which they are so proud of.

Thx I never heard of GoMo, can you elaborate?

Central Bangkok It actually came back yesterday after a couple of hours. But, yes, it is quite regularly, at times like Friday night or Saturday afternoon.

Very often, at times like Friday afternoon our internet from true fiber breaks down. It usually comes back quite soon, but today they told me, it will not come back today. I called AIS and it turned out, AIS fiber doesn't serve this condo, only true. That explains a lot. The work around is mobile internet from AIS (and maybe cancel true completely). Any other ideas?
