  1. If the truth about Thailand was universally known then almost nobody would come.
  2. So he won't be ready for transfer until his bill is paid - is that a medical opinion and which doctor made this determination? They won't let him fly without medical permission...... I'll summarise : We ain't letting him go until you pay every baht. He's being held hostage.
  3. How will this be possible with Thailand on 'the list'?
  4. Now this story makes more sense, the Koreans were onto him from their end.
  5. Indeed, one way to avoid any nonsense like this is to not even look at the prices as you shop. Just load up as you walk around and pay the total when you check out. The reciept will no doubt be in Thai so you will never know how much each individual item costs and so long as you don't spend more than you can afford - does it really matter how much individual items cost ? ????
  6. Nothing to do with El Nino then? https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40027509
  7. Aren't they all, as in every single one of them?
  8. We've weighed stuff when at home on occasion and found very big differences. Around these parts there's a couple of shops and a durian seller up to no good, they think they're getting away with it but the reality is - everyone knows they do it and that's why they have no customers from the locals.
  9. Arrested for posession/use but suspected to be an international kingpin because of what? Some hunch by a random cop? Sounds like they've got him for a low level charge and want to make him out to be some kind of bigshot. I smell BS
  10. In the UK they were doing blood tests every 3 months I believe. As for gel vs tablets, I guess the tablets are more effective than topical gels but that's what was prescribed by the Doctor and I'm sure there was a good reason to do so.
  11. Will they be banning the sale of alcohol nationally just in case?
  12. Yep, I'm pretty sure they are. The error never works out in the customers favour.
  13. Yes, she was on the tablets for many months before the kidney issues showed up on a routine blood test. So it is something you can monitor over time with regular basic blood tests - a lot of people will have no problems at all so it's not something I would avoid - but I would be cautious and monitor kidney / liver function more often should I ever need it myself.
  14. It's not, and they borrow against the property but in their mind this big pay day is still coming, when in reality all they face is reposession - that's the bit where they end up with nothing.
  15. Ok, here's something much more useful but I didn't mention it before just in case it put you off, however I would want to be useful. Kidney damage from taking Diclofenac, not in me personally but my mother. It mostly reversed after she discontinued it so she now 'only' has stage 3 kidney failure. Good luck
  16. There's a long list of side effects but isn't there always.
  17. Ironically the original intention for 'Viagra' was dilation of the blood vessels to mitigate some heart issues but it was found to have some unusual side effects.
  18. No, there will be no issue until you cross the border next time.
  19. One way or another, I believe you're right.
  20. No, that's not the point. The point is that capitalism is severely limited in many industries due to protectionist policies. Take beer brewers for example. You're either in the club or you're not - the exact opposite of a free market and it's designed to prevent any new competition.
  21. I don't care what you believe I should do but feel free to do whatever you want, as will I. What happense to senate seats when the senator suddenly becomes unavailable for duty like if they resign their position, have an unfortunate accident, etc?
  22. They don't require this document and never have.
  23. I think the main point is - there's no way for them to check this information. A lot of people seem to think that each countries government simply hands over all your information when asked to do so by some random foreign government - for the most part they don't, unless you're the US and Canada in which case they share everything for whatever reason they decided to do so. If a full criminal record check was required or introduced then it's something you would need to get yourself from your home countries police force. This kind of check is requested if you want a work permit for certain jobs (teacher is one of them I believe) but it's not requested for this visa. Without this kind of home country record check then there's no way for them to check for routine day to day things like visas.
