  1. I brought in STM.2, STM.9, and a copy (from last year) of the unnumbered "Statement ..." form that does not seem to be available on line. The Statement form was thrown away, and replaced with the STM.11 (which apparently they filled out for me). I think I only had to sign the STM.11 and the Criteria forms. On the way out I asked for a new set, and was given TM.7, STM.2, 9, and 11, and the signature-only Criteria for Consideration of ... form.
  2. Right you are. I did it this way at Suan Phlu the first five years or so. Main point being that I have never made a deposit after opening my fixed account, nor gotten a letter on the day of my extension. -- Retiree
  3. Uh, ok, just sayin' I've done it this way at CW for 20+ years. The balance letter is 100 baht from KB, and I have never even seen an annual statement.
  4. Sorry, yes, the usual copies of bankbook & passport pages, and arrival slip. What does "most recent update 2 months ago" Mean. I have never gotten a letter the day of, and I have never made a deposit since opening the account 20+ years ago. Interest is posted every three months, and the posting date is the last entry that shows up in my bankbook. Only questioned once years ago (by a new IO), and straightened out by her boss.
  5. Retirement extension at CW now requires these forms. The STM.2, STM.9 and STM.11 are normally given to you when you check in. There is a fillable .docx version of the TM.7 out there somewhere (it must be saved to PDF to print properly). The rest I just fill in with Acrobat, then sign in ink.

It does not require any applicant details, though. I provided a Google Map with address typed in the margin, and building labeled. As usual, no TM.30, no lease, bank letter day before, most recent bankbook update 2 months ago (fixed account). I think they threw away the 90-day confirmation page I had in my bundle. Excellent appointment service as always -- go directly to the L1 window, no ticket required.
  6. Retirement extension at CW requires these forms. The STM.2, STM.9 and "Statement" are normally given to you when you check in.

Two questions about the "Statement" form Is this form available online? Do I only fill out part 2 (I guarantor that ...) ? -- Retiree
  7. I have a pill cutter and a milligram scale. However, my experience is that it can be difficult to accurately cut small coated pills like these. I personally would dick around with it, or go to the generic sooner, but for my SO I'd rather keep it as simple and safe as possible while we see how this plays out. Interestingly, the EINSTEIN CHOICE study found that 10 mg was more effective than 20 mg for preventing VTE recurrence, as well as having a lower incidence of bleeds (but not at a level of statistical significance), which would be expected. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1700518 Rivaroxaban or Aspirin for Extended Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism Jeffrey I.

  8. Just adding a request that if anybody gets one, please post the news (so I can stay extra alert). Thanks, Retiree
  9. Thank you for your advice. This is what's approved for sale, besides Xarelto: https://www.mims.com/thailand/drug/info/rivaroxaban?mtype=generic Rivoxam 15, 20 Roxaban 20 Rivarox-20 20 Rivaxored 10, 15, 20 Rivaxored is manufactured by the Indian company Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, which has had some difficulties in the past. Would this concern you, or would you consider overall risk of manufacturing issues to be extremely low? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Reddy's_Laboratories#2011_recalls_of_Simvastatin_and_Toprol_products
  10. Fwiw I got the Tecnis dual focus lens years ago in the US, and have been very satisfied. I get sharp near and far, and use reading glasses at the computer (but not needed for books/closer, or TV/farther). No halos, and seem fine in dim light (i.e. I can see the bar tab).
  11. A few of the pharmacies near Mahidol, West of Victory Monument, sell Bayer 10 mg Xarelto for 1,400 baht / 10 tablet box. A few are more expensive, and the rest don't stock it. Has anybody seen a lower price for 10mg tablets of Bayer Xarelto? A bigger box would be fine. I know the other Thai pharmacy names, so no need to just list them. This is mid-term follow up for (likely 2nd) unprovoked DVT, thigh, middle-aged female. Do not want to use cheaper but higher dose -- just looking for a lower 10mg price. Thanks in advance, Retiree
  12. I'll usually just take half the cetirizine or loratadine tablet; works for me.
  13. Mine was EMS (popped for the 1,550 because I was cutting it close). Mailed at a small station in Bangkok. Was "Processed Through USPS Facility ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)" then on to "USPS Regional Facility JAMAICA NY INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER" the same day. My one-line summary is from the e-mail they sent me, but pretty identical to the USPS tracking site.
  14. Thanks for following up. I'd interpret that as probably having gone to Wilkes-Barre and then delivered, for a total of 11 or 12 days. Just guessing, but at the last stop they're probably hand-scanned, so it's possible if the tag was marred, or two were stuck together, or there were a lot of you timely guys that day, or if the mailman was running late, it might not have been entered. I guess we'll find out if you get a follow-up 7162 request in the fall.
