Hmmm... Not quite what I had hoped for, TBH Any other, more to-the-point bids possibly?

Would anyone know a business capable of doing that? Better still, would he have made practical experience with this service - good or not so? NB: This is not about product piracy, but about someone wishing to replicate a favourite casual garment, which is near the end of its useful life-span.

The intellectual level in society seems to be sinking everywhere, as can be observed also in this forum. Just compare the logical quality of the vast majority of statements in the present thread with those in https://aseannow.com/topic/896526-why-do-thais-hate-trees-so-much/ - a comparable thread I just came across, by coincidence. Eight years to reduce human ability by let's say some 30 %. Any extrapolations for 2032?

I've seen your replies. I would have preferred someone who could have given some feedback re the situation in their condo?

It seems condo management are having a contract with a gardener company, and they just keep being busy there: Once their activities have reached the end of the premises, they commence all over from the start. Much, or most, of their activities are being performed using machinery, and the noise this causes is often infernal. At times, they start unannounced out-of-the-ordinary actions, like pruning trees - amputating would probably be a more suitable term: Trees look good before they dealt with them. Afterwards, they are maimed - a horrible sight. The noise all this causes most of the day doesn't seem to be concerning any of the actors. Or rather, some of them seem to enjoy controlling these machines, so being in a position to make themselves heard much more than what otherwise would be the case. And obviously, not one thought is spent on the effects such barbaric actions will have on the fauna. Is it such only here, or are others affected by similar actions?

Thank you, that looks like a promising approach. Will try!

Right. The same is true for those doctors that have received negative reviews. That's why I am looking for someone who has performed well. My hope was that I might find people here in a similar medical situation, but with positive experience made? And re your question as to how long I've been in Thailand: long enough to worry .)

I would have a question regarding productive possibilities (if there are any) to tackle target-oriented a tenacious health problem with my upper back muscles/shoulder region. Of course I am familiar with what it normally means for a non-thai speaker to go to a random doctor here, hospital or practitioner, and just the thought makes me shiver. That said, I don't exclude that there also are some decent ones, but how would I find them? And I would want to start with explaining my situation in an email message, which of course he must see before I go there - not once I'm there -, such that my visit can make sense. That's a lot of western thinking, plus old style - thus someone used to personalised european quality, which was the usual method prior to the onslaught from 2000 that led to the americanised robot society. I see there is a medical forum, but 'nothing' is going on there, it seems. As I am in Pattaya, maybe there are people here who have made experiences in this field and would be willing to exchange some toughts on it?

Thanks for sorting the terms for me, Tod Daniels. Looks like I got confused there. Regarding the optimum timing, I sensed instinctively this might be the course to follow, although I wasn't sure if I could get a ten-month extension - which I now gather is possible. Thanks for clarifying that, and also to Liquorice for further elaborating on the details!

Thanks a lot, that sure does help a bit. I think I will ponder the options before rushing to any conclusions. There is one thing, however, that might deserve mentioning now already, and that would be the transfer procedure of the existing visa to a new passport (if it so plays out). I found https://ltr.boi.go.th/page/transferring.html which appears exhaustive, but upon closer inspection still leaves some doubt (transferrable stamp, being my case): 1. They mention a One Stop Service Center for Visa and Work Permit (OSS), but would fx Pattaya immigration also be authorised for this business? 2. They also enumerate three documents that I do not expect to obtain, or do not in necessary detail know what they mean: - Certificate from embassy (Original one only) - Notification letter of qualification endorsement which is addressed to the Immigration Bureau - 1-Year notification card Next to this top-rated private website, there's also seemingly official info available at https://www.thailand.go.th/issue-focus-detail/002_005 But it does not appear free from doubt either. I'm puzzled. Any ideas how to sort this conundrum?

As a retiree, I recently got my stay extended by another year. Checking my passport's validity, I see that it expires in 4/26. Can I expect to get another 1-year extension in 6/25, or would I have to get a new passport before that? More precisely, is there a minimum validity period required when applying for extension, and which is it?
