I’m 74. I had that surgery at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya a year and a half ago. It about 150,000 baht for an open surgery which I took. It’ll be around 3 to 350,000 baht for a keyhole surgery. I stayed for two days because I was old. No heavy lifting for the first month and eat easy to digest foods. I ate soft foods and drank beer at night. I did everything by myself but I recommend you have a friend there in your room to help you. Buy a pee container for sleep time.

I know Bangkok Hospital Pattaya has staff that will assist people with their visas while they’re in the hospital.

White Digital on Naklua road same side and in between Best Supermarket and Lumpini complex does translation services

There’s a major problem there. Because you can no longer use Bangkok Bank to renew your visa the other bank was overwhelmed. My friend yesterday said he was struggling to get his visa with the new bank for three days and it wasn’t resolved yet. It’s kind of chaotic.

Chang beer now is 4.8 so it’s a light beer

The police are too lenient on people who behave badly. They slap them on the wrist! They should start deporting people who are violent! But of coarse our voices mean nothing!

At Pattaya post office they told me I can only send my letter to Hawaii by registered mail. They charged me 355 baht.

I went to Soi post office in Pattaya. Because of the Tariffs by the U.S. government Americans cannot send parcels or receive it from the U.S. They can send letters so they took mine but they said they needed my passport and it only be sent by registered mail. They charged me 355 baht and off I went.

About 10 years ago I had a Diverticulitis attack and was told I needed to have surgery at Bangkok hospital to remove part of the colon. I went to I believe it was the red cross hospital in Sriracha and I spent two weeks getting antibiotics. They put me on a fit to fly list and when I was discharged I flew to Hawaii to meet with my doctors at Kaiser Hospital. They said my first Diverticulitis attack they educate not operate. They told me what to eat and what not to eat. They said if I come back with a second attack they will operate. I never had another attack. I flew back to Thailand and I eat right (easy to digest foods) and I’m careful not to strain if I have constipation.

Make sure your transfers per month come in as FTT which shows as international transfers. If one of the months doesn’t show that then immigration will reject it.

The Chinese, Indians and Russians are worse so I have no bitches against the Thai people

When asked by Wise reason for transfer you have to scroll down to the bottom and click on for long term stay in Thailand then the transfer will go into Bangkok bank as FTT which shows an international transfer

Immigration should send him back to his country and blacklist him for the standard 10 years

My Thai friend says it’s a “big spender”

I have a UPS box in Hawai’i. They ask for two pictures of Identification so I gave them my passport and Hawai’i State I.D. Filled out the Form 1583 which I had to print out sign and date and upload the picture of it. They know I live in Thailand but the last requirement was for me to give them my address in Hawai’i. I gave them the address that matched the address on my State I.D. and that satisfied them.

Naklua road a little past Soi 14 going towards the fish market there’s a restaurant that sells Khao soi with a sign outside. It’s decent!

If you just say อินเดียนแดง (Indian) it automatically means an Indian from India. But, If you say อินเดียนแดง (Red indian or Indian Daeng) it means American Indian. They know Red Indian means American Indian. You can put American at the end to be more specific.

My transfer use to be fast from my bank in Hawaii to Bangkok bank but now it’s taking around 6to 8 days. But it does get here!

If the subject is already known then you can just speak to each other using only the classifier

That’s the classifier for stamps. I believe it’s the classifier for stars and round objects also.

When I win a lottery I have a Thai collect the winnings. They give a farang less. I don’t know any farangs that try and collect the winnings themselves.

Thanks to everybody for giving me good insight! I will think things over carefully before I make a decision!

This is off the subject. I am 73 and a retired civilian federal worker from Pearl Harbor Shipyard and have Kaiser and Medicare as my provider but been living in Pattaya for 20 years. I was advised to consider in open season to switch over to FepBlue. I don’t know any American federal workers around here so I’m asking you guys for your opinion since I’m already 73. Thank you!

I knew an American living in Jomtien. He said he lived with his girlfriend for 20 years. He told her from the beginning that he’ll give her a monthly allowance (I assumed it was a good allowance). Because she lives with him she’ll eat free and don’t have to pay for utilities but she’ll get no more. She can save the money or give it to her family but she’ll get no more. It worked fine!

About three years ago I was told that no medical school in Thailand will accept any foreigners. But! The Thai Red Cross said they’ll accept foreigners who will donate all their organs and then they will create the body after they’re done. It’s only in Thai so you have to get a Thai to arrange where to send the forms. Someone will have to interpret for you and you will have to sign the form. I keep the card in my wallet and had the power of attorney person take a picture of it.
