Do you take Rosuvastatin + Ezetimibe togheter at the same time? Cheers

Have you read it?

Let him/her believe there are ghosts getting around

I'm reading that many schools can manage the conversion from tourist/exempt to NON-O at your local Immigration office, without leaving the country. You have to pay for it of course, and it's all legal.

My understanding is that this is the main important crucial point, after reading many and many threads like this one.

Thanks for your reply, I understand it. But I'm talking about law/legal requirements, if there're limits and so on. I'm a man and I don't wear jewelry at all. I'm bringing the jewelry to Thailand because I want to give them as gifts to my gf (soon wife to come).

Hello, I have some used jewelry that I own (rings and bracelets in gold and diamonds) and I want to bring them along with me on my next flight from Europe to Thailand. Do you know if I'm allowed to do so, do I have do declare them or follow some other special procedure? I'd of course keep them in my hand baggage. I do not know the exact market value, it should not be more than 20-30k eur, I guess. Thanks for help

So it seems the minimum length coverage is 60 days (to be on the safe side).

Wow, really? I didn't know it. I thought pre-existing to be hardly covered and very expensive premium in any case. So maybe there is a travel insurance covering my pre-existing heart condition (1 stent)? I'm from EU, near 60 yo.

Ok I will, thank you. What is, generally talking, a good hospital in CM apart from Ram and Bangkok Hospital? McCormick, Lanna Hospital, Sriphat, Rajavej? Please advise

Thanks for the information, but I'm looking for suggestions on Chiang Mai, Thailand.

No thanks, I'm considering just Chiang Mai.

Thanks to all. Yes, I know of Ram Hospital, and I think it's more or less as expensive as Bangkok Hospital. @SherylI know him, he actually did my intervention ???? Very good doctor indeed. Highly recommended. Yes I know that consultation (doctor fee) is cheap in Thailand compared to the West and that medications should not be bought at their (private hospital) pharmacies. I was just asking if there's a good hospital in CM other than Ram and Bangkok Hospital, in the very unfortunate event I'd need something more serious and urgent than just a consultation. I know for example some people get a second or third stent after the first one (after few years), or maybe a pacemaker (it happened in my close family, stent + pacemaker after about 12 yrs). Paying 250k bht instead of half a million for an intervention would be a good alternative for me (just as an example), as my insurance at the moment do not cover pre-existing and I don't consider myself so rich to deserve the most expensive hospital available! Kind regards,

Dear all, Couple of years ago I had a coronary angiography intervention (1 stent) at the Bangkok Hospital in Chiang Mai, and I'm happy with the service I received. As we all know it's probably the most expensive hospital in Thailand and, though they are top quality, I'm not that rich. I'm therefore looking for a more affordable alternative in Chiang Mai for periodic heart checks. Do you have any suggestion about good cardiologist and/or hospital or clinic? Thanks and regards,

Isn't insurance required when you do visa (exempt) 30 day extension?

Dear all, is this statement from the Minister of Public Health valid or not? This is very important in my opinion. Thanks

I had a quick look and it seems both STV and METV are available: https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/cate-7742-visa-consular-services?menu=5f4b6eb3f6ae4b236972c562

If I were you I'd talk to an agent in PP asap about getting a TV. Good luck

Look at this one for example: https://www.lumahealth.com/travel-insurance/covid-insurance/ It covers till 365 days There's so many insurance companies out there! Or this one: https://www.tuneprotect.com/airasia/ipass/index.php Or https://www.acs-ami.com/en/travel-insurance/globe-traveller/ etc etc If you really don't know what to do, just ask a broker, I've seen on this forum that AA Insurance Broker is often mentioned as a good one. Regards,

I'm confused! Please help So it looks like it's always better to cancel your extension of stay (based on ED) before leaving Thailand? It's actually something not very clear to me (still), and I'm reading opposing views on the internet (here and Facebook). If I read these two posts from the past, it is said that it doesn't really matter to cancel it, from what I understand, you can just leave the country no problem! The misteries of Thailand... On this Thai Visa Advice facebook post, the moderator clearly says you can even get fined for overstay next time you go to Immigration (it's happened to many, 20k baht): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1395920320731833/permalink/3336319810025198/ I'm very interested because I'm in the same position and will face this same issue soon. Thanks&Regards

Dear all, Is the passport number required on the PCR test certificate? Thanks

Thanks everybody for your useful information. It looks like there are some good alternative available to be considered, and for a reasonable price. Cheers

From the previous thread dated 2018, I see there's a Thai atorvastatin 40mg named Chlovas. That could be a good option for me, as I'm taking 2x40mg/day. Does anybody know if it is a good quality brand?

Thank you, lots of useful info

Dear all, I'm cardiopatic with a stent since 2020, I take atorvastatina 2x40mg every day to control cholesterol. In my homecountry I'm getting it almost for free, but I'm afraid in Thailand it's going to cost me few thousands baht each month. Do you know of any possible inexpensive alternative available in Thailand so that I can talk to my doctor about it, before coming there? Thanks a lot
