Personal choice. Asymptomatic and they don't like the side effects of treatment.

In the worst case, H. pylori infection can progress from asymptomatic to stomach ulcers to cancers. What the specialist said is true. I have asymptomatic friends who chose not to go through the treatment.

You almost certainly did not get a retirement extension at Central Festival, unless an agent pushed through your paperwork. Picture or it never happened.

If you know for certain or have personal experience, say so. If not, please don't give wrong advice about visa matters even if you mean well.

The signs of the Central Festival branch office didn't say retirement visa extensions are processed. Are you certain?

What I thought too until this thread - especially Bill97's reply above.

Retirement?

Do they process non-O extensions at Central Festival? Could anyone confirm?

The scumbags should be fined, then deported. If not they will move on to the next mark.

I highly recommend Dr. Siri Chiewchanvit at Sriphat Medical Center. Incidentally he speaks good English too. I can't tell you how much it would cost, but Sriphat is generally cheaper than Bangkok Hospital.

I did this a few months ago at CM Immigration and there was a counter for this that operated all day.

I had a horrible experience with an optometrist at a big hospital in Chiangmai who was (they told me) one of the two optometrists in CM who knew how to prescribe glasses for my condition. After that horrible experience, I decided that my next visit to an optometrist would be in Bangkok, or outside Thailand.

What happened at the office?

Please don't muddy the discussion. Personal income tax is not directly related to employment or labor laws. Let's keep the discussion to CM Immigration office, and to what the IOs now want and how to deal with it.

Enquiries, complaints or suggestions through these channels usually lead to a dead end. For instance, try https://www.chiangmaiimm.com

It would be a matter of grave concern if CM Immigration now decides the onus is on applicants to prove where they get money to live on, and to provide an audit to show how that money is or is not taxable. So update us with the outcome.

If this becomes standard practice at CM Immigration then it is of grave concern. Did you get your extension at CM?

Did the jerks OD on performance enhancing drugs? Roid rage or insanity?

The headline would be more exciting with no pants.

"I won't declare Chiang Mai a disaster zone because that would hurt tourism." That statement really boosts Chiang Mai's tourism!

Looks like the tackler "only" wanted to disarm the policeman. But never mind, both idiots will deservedly go to jail.

The police should investigate his motives. When he is charged and convicted, he should be publicly shamed. Then maybe law enforcement can get more traction.

Air travelers of the world will miss the courage of brave men like Barnett. It's hard to understand the pressures he had to endure. RIP.

1 - Is that before or after you clear immigration? 2 - What documents and materials did you prepare beforehand, for the application? 3 - Did you have to pay?

Good. You (and the bank) did the right thing.
