    Hi Sheryl,

    At CMU (Sriphat) there is a new imaging center that offers Tesla 3 multi-parametric MRI scans. I had one of my prostate in February of 2023.

    Can you give the name of the doctor you initially consulted at CMU that arranged the Multi Parametric MRI for you?

    I always tell Wise that the reason for the fund transfer is for supporting my long stay in Thailand, thus it is deposited directly and the end of the year, when I apply for my Extension of Stay, Bangkok Bank shows the monthly deposits as having come from abroad, as required. Has worked for me without problems.


    Which transfer destination descriptors will make the transfer a “foreign transfer”

    Does Wise guarantee these destinations to appear as foreign transfer?

    I can with Chase, but I did have to set it up when I was in the US. Though once it's set up, it is easy to make transfers and add accounts and whatnot online. 

     

     

    Chase seems to only charge $5 for an online transfer and $0 for transfers above $5k.. I guess they make money on the exchange rate... Do you know if they use the daily midmarket rate or lower?...

    Now I can use ACH transfers to and from Capital One, and use wire transfers to and from Thailand via the Capital One account.

    You can make the foreign transfer from US to Thailand online?… I have a  360 Performance Saving account and see no way to initiate a foreign transfer online?… It says to contact a branch office to transfer…

    Nonsense, I know two restaurants in Chiang Rai that do a very good pizza.

    We visit Chiang Rai regularly as it’s my partner’s home town…

    We like Hungry Wolf’s pizza…

    What are your two choices?…

    Pizza doesn’t need to be the same; it just needs to be good. That means a good quality of ingredient and some skill in the making. 
    If it’s good, it’s good. All this “best in the world” is what is nonsense. 
     

    Totally agree… It really gets down to the ingredients…

    A sliced up sausage link is NOT Italian Sausage… And Pepperoni from Macro doesn’t cut it…

    A Hawaiian is usually the safest bet…

    And I think we can all agree that Seafood, BBQ Chicken and Ketchup on a pizza is an abomination…

    Parametric MRI is available in just a few places in Thailand (2-3 major government teaching hospitals) and very expensive. In additiojn only a handful of urologists here can interpret them.

     

    Thus used here only when there is high suspicion of malignancy.


    Hello Sheryl,

    Could you name the hospitals that do Parametric MRI of the prostate?…

    Do any of them specialize in MRI guided focal therapies?

    Does Chiang Mai University have that capability?…

     

    Thanks

  8. I use Ipostal1.com… It cost $99 a year for my Phoenix domicile address (They have addresses in most every state)… They notify you of any arriving mail by email and app with a photo of the outside envelope and you can decide to discard, scan the inside or forward (for an additional fee)

     

    Btw… I would recommend you pick a forwarder who does not have a PO Box or suite address associated with the delivery address they assign you… It is less likely to be rejected as “not a physical address”

  9. A week is not enough... Try to come for a month... Stay in a place like this...

     

    https://air.tl/oqQ3c2Rf

     

    This is in Santhium area which is centrally located yet a Thai area with few short term tourists... There is a great local market with a typical Thai foodcourt... This would give you a great flavor for the real city and a month give you a chance to explore the city... Join a FB group that lists rentals and form a relationship with an agent who will drive you around to the different areas to view places to live...
