Dentist in CM tells me that with the latest techniques an implant can be done now in about 2 months. This dentist travels abroad often to keep up with the current methods.

Thanks for the replies. CM Chemicals is easy to get to for me. I'll check 'em out and see what they've got.

Does anyone know for sure where you can buy this stuff in Chiang Mai or Lamphun. I tried some shops near the main hospital yesterday but they didn't have any.   Thanks

Is this available in Thailand?

How many days before can I extend a non O in CM nowadays?

Thanks

Looks like only concessions and supplements will be cut after 6weeks abroad.

Otherwise nothing has changed.

Don't forget you need 2 of everything on your list. (Can't turn off underlining.)

Good new. Thanks

Anyone out there done an extension recently......in the last week? Is it true that that's still done at the old building near the airport?

Thanks

Slightly off topic I know but I saw a couple of articles in Thai press this week about gun violence against some farang.

A 64 yr old Austrian guy driving in Surat with his wife was shot twice, one in each arm by a motorcyclist. Apparently the farang appeared to be a "hot headed type."

The second victim was an Australian bloke who was eating at a restaurant with a woman. Seems that the woman's ex husband hired a gunman to shoot the farang who ,the article reported was in a serious condition in hospital.

Thai rape victims are often (usually) brutally killed as well.......At least according to the Thai papers which are full of violent crime and accident reports.

And it's hard to see any challenge to him. Some other major major events likely in the not too distant future too. Looking bleak indeed is the LOS.

A return to pre 1932 would be ideal when fear and stability reigned and dissent was brutally crushed.

I see that Thailand's female prison population has doubled to 50,000 from 2009. Now that's a good start. Prisons to hold millions might be a good way to kickstart this pre bust economy.

You're right about the richest man being in charge of the pig industry here. The northern hills have been cleared to plant the corn needed to fatten the filthy swine. Now the hills are ablaze or smoldering as the corn stubs are burned to prepare for more of the same next year. Untouchable. Even 4G wouldn't help that......or tech savvy Thai engineers for that matter.

I see the future for Thailand in the chemical industry producing dangerous chemicals that no one else wants to touch. It's no coincidence that the planned Chinese train terminates at Ma Tha Phut, the epicentre of the Thai chemical industry and the most polluted part of the country. I met some nurses from there recently and they all want to relocate due to the astronomical cancer rates there.

Me a pessimist??!! Why do you say that?

Hiring a car in Sydney in April. Can I use a Thai license there?

Thanks

Sorry folks.......Disregard my previous post.

I don't know what footprint map I saw last week but I just checked it again to be sure........Now I see that this latest footprint map shows thailand in the picture. .....at least 90% of the country. Unfortunately for me the Chiang Mai region looks like it's right on the border of the signal. I'm going to look into it but am suddenly a bit hopeful that I might be able to get it again on my 7 foot dish.

I check the intelsat footprint and it's over the Pacific......not even Indonesia is on it.

It's a lot more expensive here nowadays. Wages in most places haven't kept up. People everywhere don't have the cash......borrowed or otherwise. A lot of people holidaying closer to home if at all.

A late twenties, or late thirties feel to the planet nowadays.

Thanks for the research , gkroo.

My rattan furniture got attacked by wood borers......in Thai,"mort."

So no Australia Plus on True Visions in Bangkok eh?,,,,,,, not even on cable ?

I propose one year maximum ed visas for studying Thai........five days a week for four hours a day......for serious students.

If you're not serious then go get yourself some other sort of visa.

I haven't been paid up since early August 2014. I was wondering if CTH will send me a bill sometime. Anyone out there in CM who has received a bill lately?

Cheers

A new type of "suicide bomber" might emerge. Willing martyrs infected with the virus could be sent to strike down offensive infidels in evil lands, Heavily sweating, salivating ........ pushing through crowded areas dispensing the viral load onto the unsuspecting hosts.

Think I'll go and pick up a few months supply of baked beans and bottled water.

Are the idiot farang still going to the island?

I'm not a pensioner but live on oz term deposit interest. I transfer some over to my bank here when needed. Not the required 65K a month but I've got a few hundred thousand baht in a thai bank too. In combination they top the 800k requirement.

Thanks for your replies and all the best to you.
