Lorry

Does this mean Immi at CW is closed?

I read the same story and was puzzled about the "Pakistani" worker, too. And I also noted the story was written by 2 farang and an Idonesian. " At the perimeter, the father of a Pakistani worker told reporters people were praying at temples all over Thailand,"

What hit Bangkok, was actually a rather minor tremor, as explained in the reddit posted by @Rolo89. I fully agree with the reddit post. I have lived through many earthquakes, and this kind of tremor should not have caused that much damages - it should not even have caused all those superficial damages, falling tiles, cracks etc. And, as written in reddit, my old condo held up very well without any visible damage.

Central BKK

The news coverage is impressive, yes. But in reality, my condo hardly shook. No visible damage at all, neither damage of the building. Electricity, elevators... everything normal.

No problems in Issarn

Bolt and motorbikes run normally Almost normal fares, but traffic jam

Most government hospitals don't accept guarantees of payment from foreign insurances, even if it's their private arm. They don't have the set-up and the sometimes enormous bureaucracy for this. Sometimes foreign insurances send a representative with a wad of cash to pay the bill.

Apart from the symptoms, a cataract should be operated when it's "ripe". If you wait too long it gets calcified and hard, that makes it more difficult to operate. Too early, is difficult, too. (explanation from my eye doctor) This is relevant if cataract on one side, like Kh LA, and you can function very well with your healthy eye.

I am not surprised to see this kind of nonsense from SIPH. But you can see similar rubbish from any hospital in Thailand, unfortunately. Including Bumrungrad, if you are unlucky. BTW as "relative" they would accept the GF du jour. But in my experience, SIPH does not require a relative staying with you

Very true. Not only for tax purposes. All kinds of authorities may want proof of your times in or out of Thailand. Health insurance, other insurances (you may lose coverage if abroad too long), banks, ... My passport is the only proof I have.

Savings you already had on 31st Dec 2023, can be remitted tax free any time, also in the future.

I found @simon43's idea interesting and tried to read up on it. This turned out to be not so easy. Peganum Harmala is recommended for a lot of things. So, 2 questions to OP: 1.What exactly is the 1g/day that you are taking? You say it's on Lazada, can you post the link, please? 2. Are you still taking it and does it still work? In case you stopped, did the symptoms come back?

Did you have to pay tax on the inheritance money?

Used to be possible in MBK, but I haven't been there for years. Hopefully someone else can give you more information

We miss them badly

The military hospital in Bangkok is Phra Mongkutklao Hospital, near Victory Monument. It would not be my first choice. The air force has a hospital near Don Meuang, and the navy runs a small hospital at Samut Prakan. Both are of less interest for tourists.

Spelling: Escitalopram Better than calling, ask the pharmacy in line (in Thai, or just write the name of the medicine you want without any other words): @bwc0432c for Rungrot pharmacy @kmc4655g for Klongton pharmacy, which is a couple of houses south of PB pharmacy on the same side of Sukhumvit 71 (if you see tops, you have passed it) and has the same prices PB pharmacy is better contacted by phone (preferrably in Thai) 02-314 1394 or 02-314 4394

Yes, it's added No, it doesn't replace it You get both.

Yes, but not in Soi 81, I am afraid

Try https://www.immigration.go.th/#serviceonline If you are in Bangkok, try https://gov.immigration1.queueonline.net/appointment/login.html?v35 It sometimes works, not very intuitively though The old link used to be https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131 It's not working.

You are funny. You follow your masters from Mainland China in every sentence - and then you say mainlanders are too stupid to develop a good business idea by themselves?

Malaysia deports Taiwanese to Mainland China because Malaysia is licking China's boots. As I have said before, Taiwanese are very valuable workers in the scamming industry, they speak Chinese (for the main market) and English (for the US, the emerging market) and they are digital natives. The bosses are mainland Chinese. No scam enterprise is interested in 75y.o. Swiss computer illiterates.

In Hua Hin, this has been officially adopted as the attitude towards foreigners (decades ago already). In Bangkok or even Pattaya, it's up to the individual how they treat foreigners.

Why is this in the "News" section? Nothing new about it
