Chiang Mai Hospital - great doctor (for eyes) that used a long time checking my eyes. I'd otherwise been to Princ Hospital and got what I reckoned was an incorrect diagnosis, so went to CM Hospital. Turned out I had something completely different wrong, and at CMH I was advised to get my eyes "laser checked" - and quickly, too! Excellent service and advice from CMH and I'm planning on getting a (mild) cataract in one eye done there, very soon. At this very moment they have a package deal for cataracts (all included) for 38K. Cheers and good luck

Thanks - I rather suspected as much, but nice to be certain. Cheers

Thanks for the info - very useful. Re 5. Are these pp photocopies colour or just black & white? 🤔

Finance’s permanent secretary, Lavaron Sangsnit, insisted that the scheme will be funded under the Budget Act and the State Fiscal and Financial Disciplines Act. Thais aged 16 and over, earning less than 70,000 baht (US$ 2,000) a month and with less than 500,000 baht (US$ 3,600) in their bank accounts, are eligible to receive the 10,000-baht handout. Based on these conditions, approximately 50 million individuals will be eligible, a decrease from the initial estimate of 56 million. Aaahhh...Thai math again. "70,000 baht (US$ 2,000) a month and with less than 500,000 baht (US$ 3,600) in their bank accounts,".....half a mil Thb might be around the 142K Dollar mark, based on the 70K example, rather than a paltry 3.6K. No wonder the country is a leader in math.....

Hell Yeah! Christmas lights and Christmas food (if any's available) - EVERY year, too! We enjoy the decorating and lights and all that goes with it. The Scootergirl is always asking if it's today's the day to start decorating. an a Merry C to all of you......

Yes - was at the Lamphun office a couple of months ago (August) and same same for me - IO required 2 sets of EVERYTHING, including written forms. I presumed it was just a one-off thing, as the staff had changed since my last visit. Seems it's perhaps one of those "new requirements" that pop up all of a sudden without any apparent reason or warning - and will possibly disappear again just as quickly. I'd also booked an online appointment for 10am but the staff didn't seem to know what an "online appointment" was (or maybe didn't care). He just nodded me away to take a bog-standard queue number and I had to wait my turn, like everybody else. No big deal, really, as there weren't that many people waiting. Otherwise, everything went rather as expected (slowly!) and I was out of there again after around a couple of hours.

Oh dear - I'm pretty sure you missed an 'r' in 'picks'.....

Very simple - Thanks ma'am for all the many years in both war and peace. You did us all proud, no matter who the person or what country. Total respect for HM.

^ Lucky you. I didn't get any "barcode" at all - all I got was the opportunity to view the training video yet again (loop?). Also, the first question was asked well before the subject was even discussed in the video - discussion in Thai, too. Don't know how people with very little Thai knowledge can manage at all. The lady at the licence office didn't flinch at all when I told her about the barcode problem - she just made a digital one on the spot for me. I had all the lesson proof needed on my smartphone - screenshots of stuff from the video.
