  1. This is not correct. Like Jomtien told you but obviously do what The people giving your extension to you want One of the admins will be by to sort out the record That was the line of thinking some years ago but think the system got all screwed up. I can't be certain but I think this is what has happened. I'm guessing the system couldn't accommodate multiple dates. Immigration was left confused on your day of entry or the original date corresponding to your lease because it changed as people traveled domestically. There was a big brouhaha some years ago if you recall? Years ago when I had the condo admin change it in her system she was like WTF? Cannot.. Recall later having some sort of issue with immigration. They let it all slide It was just a big clusterfox I'm not here to give you bad advice or something that goes against what you're being told by immigration locally. But I'm not surprised if you have issues down the road Good luck
  2. Because it's chunks and already messy unlike the steak
  3. I'd just like to add one other thing. You're looking for a dental surgeon, a specialist. You want someone that has done these procedures day in and day out. That's not someone a small clinic with a bunch of implant posters pasted up maybe has done a few and their entire career. That's not even a general dentist in a more boutique clinic This is a specialty for my dentist and does it all day long. In fact if you look at the Line wallpaper on my post the entire office is all about implants. Of course they do general dentistry but that's the focus Some people don't want the roving dentist, but I see it as a big plus. It's not like they're roving out of their corporate clinics just changing offices to maximize work and income. Good luck with your choice
  4. You can trust mine I don't disagree though. Of all those big dentists I have had a bunch of problems with each and every one of them. I've been to all save for Sunil ... I don't like the promotion website. Seems to be very much geared to tourists imo. I'm not saying the work is not competent I simply don't know. Never been appealing ...and every time dentists are mentioned on this forum this dentist always seems to pop up 😳🤔 Was a patient at dental hospital on 49 for probably nearly 20 years. Started going there out of worry over sanitation. Worried about HIV hep B exposure. Was expensive but very competent. Towards the end I started to have issues and then they moved to On Nut. I had further issues and was done there rapidly. It came hospital mainly for visiting tourists, Arabs and Indians But I've been them all.
  5. Dental Image locations. Of course the only ones that matter are the ones in which this doctor works
  6. No, I didn't provide it. Sorry Dental Image Pohan Yotin but also have another few locations. This one very convenient for MRT and convenient for BTS . Currently, he's in PY Monday and Wednesday. Highly recommend, oral surgeon level dentist. Clinic is clean and modern inside. Extractions to crown fitting. Totally competent work. As I said I'm unfortunately on #4. He's in no hurry to seat the abutment and let the gum recover from extraction or bone graft OH! I needed two bone grafts. One 30k as I let a bad riot canal sit five years ...my bad. Another only 5k and another no need. This latest he says probably no need as well. Seems totally legit. Admin staff lovely but not much English, receipts clear and in English. Doctors English is good. He's young and good technique..knows what he's doing surely This is the guy. Forget about all those scammy Sukhumvit dentists for farang... really Finally, I've been to many big clinics here and they are overly expensive, potentially overcharge farang and work mediocre. In closing, I can't really comment on the long outlook of my implants thus far as the first has only been in a little over a year, but very happy with my experience thus far. Edit: I don't know the brand it's probably the lower end Korean brand but did see a special for upper lower full replacement choppers I think 300k. The cost of implants add up quickly. You might consider the above procedure. If you do be careful about picking the color and don't go too white. You have bad and/or yellow teeth you might be excited having beautiful choppers but don't do it ..go more natural imo I could use front veneers (fine cracks) but I'm very hesitant. to go down this road there there's no turning back and they will probably need replacement every 7 years. Let sleeping dogs lie
  7. I don't have any issues but sort of cajoled into it by a few acquaintances given that I'm 65. I've got no problem discussing it. I don't know what's involved but it seems like a very expensive procedure someone sticking a camera up my ass @Airalee does it include polyp removal? I'm sure it doesn't include the biopsy. Thanks
  8. I'm going to go get registered as I'm not registered at any government hospital anyway. Airalee stated could be fast for this procedure. I should probably do it ther6 even if there's a wait. I know underlying issues. Thanks
  9. Yeah I got you there. Issue is the steak seems like a mix of chunk and sandwich grade
  10. Haha All good. It's really truly been a mystery for me for years. The quality just seems to be getting so bad like I'm buying sandwich level tuna in premium can Sealect✓✓
  11. So, this is just the standard clinic and regular hours? 8200b
  12. Ok, thx....but this simple colonoscopy? You stated you were in and out in a flash
  13. If you can come to Bangkok I have an excellent dentist. I've had four implants now (long story). I've not been overcharged on anything. The doctor has seen me half dozen times as well no charge. I've only paid one pano x-ray fee and had a bunch done. He uses it often to check his work. His English is decent. Never a long wait Im getting neodent implant with cz crown. 38.5 + 5k. No hidden, surprise fees Located atop Pohan Yotin MRT also BTS adjacent. You'd take a bus in to morchit prolly best
  14. She writes like a Filipina. Sir... Weird. She wants and doesn't want a relationship. You've obviously got a nut on for her, but I'd pass. I think she's looking for money. Operating under the belief that foreigners are just here a short time even if it's a few years and she's going to extract the maximum she can from that individual for those years. I believe I recall you telling us she wasn't interested in marriage? Just me... I'd keep touch without her. Send a nice message a few times a month. Go to Phuket once or twice if she'll join you. Say you're going down to enjoy the cool season, water. You don't have to kill her off, just put her on the back burner. You have nothing to lose by keeping The line of communication open. Guys with a lot of money go through those chicks really quickly. She could find herself without a big spender any old day. While there are plenty of guys that will toss short time money at her while on holiday or a fling. Finding someone that's there for her and ridiculous financial requirements is a different story. She's got to gel with their vibe as well.
  15. Do both after hours and special clinics fall under the umbrella of the 'Special Clinic'? Do you think it possible to go in at say 3pm and get registered and then see a doc for the *initial consultation* and then schedule the procedure a short time later as Airalee has provided hope? @Airalee On the day of the colonoscopy were you in a long queue for that or was your time and schedule relatively honored? Another good thing about Camillian is that price includes polyp removal (biopsy extra) I can't do it until next year so the price will probably go up. My guess is $1,500 baht or 10 percent
  16. Yeah, big difference...got it but I swear it used to be far better and not a lot of bits floating about the tin
  17. I guess I should Google it but without a smart water?
  18. Unless you've changed address you don't fuss with tm30 It's the arrival departure online that needs to now be done Tm30 only changes when You've changed the address Even so you wouldn't couldn't change that from abroad tm30
  19. I hate to admit how long I've been here not knowing this question. Seems like basically two brands of tuna: nautilus and sealect Seems like big c might Only stock Sealect Anyway, I'm here to complain about the quality of the tuna steak. It used to be firm and the water clear. Now, for as long as I can remember water always has tiny bits of tuna floating around in it and tuna doesn't look especially prime I'm wondering if it's on rotation and the good fresh stuff goes overseas and we the get the crap that's left over? Of course the tens are printed in Thai generally so that theory doesn't entirely hold water Is one brand better than another? is by the tuna steak highest grade either in olive oil or in spring water. ... recommendation would be great I'm lost on this sketchy tuna
  20. Sounds like it's all well in hand The compliment at the table was perfect +1 Hook them, charm offensive and ignore them. Baddies like to do a bit of hunting themselves. Also denying them something that theyb Believe should rightly theirs drive some crazy. It's kind of human nature as well I guess You seem to have everything sorted but what I'd recommend is you mix up the restaurants. See the reaction. So you can start with a great wine and then a cheap one like that. You also don't want to set any sort of expectation. Of course with some of these women it's possible they As we discussed are used to have a man just throw buckets of money at them. This will be especially true if they are tourists and just here on holiday and she's accessing that All good 👍👍
  21. Thanks for that Not to belabor the point Exactly as I handle it 👍 I'm now with BBL although I still have one SCB account and krungsri I never had love for k bank I can't help but feel walls closing in on us Thx again
  22. Camillian Hospital seems to have the best price which is currently 18,000 including anesthesia. The hospital doesn't look very convenient to the BTS but manageable Has anyone used this hospital for colonoscopy or anything else? How did you u find the hospital in general and colonoscopy specifically? *First time having anything up my ass
  23. Thanks, appreciate the detail My wife still works and has another five years. After that I'll need to rethink what I'm bringing in. Currently, my monthly walking around money is 20k. That also covers groceries, weekend food for us and some alcohol in home. I want for nothing and eat lunch out most weekdays, massage and 'massage'. Medical and dental not included, holidays and incidental larger one off expenses not in above. I definitely need to get a government hospital sorted here in Bangkok. The good ones are such a wait.
  24. Thanks for this gold. The explanation is excellent. When you say the transaction detail report. I've always just provided them with the passbook and it's never been a problem... not a print out of the transactions between X and y dates. Ok? Thanks and I won't follow up. Much appreciated
  25. Indeed. It's good to acknowledge. Money is only half of it. You can't buy your way into a lasting relationship. SM competition aside, you don't need to be Chad 5000 you just need to be the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry 👍 Oh, to return to those days of being a handsum man... My late teen, early 20s were epic. Southern California girlies in the late 70s early 80s. My Pattaya days in my 40s were another epic period I call my pre midlife crisis haha I was fortunate and found a lovely woman now together 15 years. She's an absolute gem. If it were not for her I'd never have settled and was sworn to none and loyal to fun. I still have difficulty with roaming eyes. Shi+, Bangkok full of such hot women. Good luck - play on If you are in BKK after NY and fancy a beer on lower Sukumvhit message me. We'll be South the month of December on holiday.
