the other answer to watch out for is ''i will call my Professor in Bangkok and get back to you''. 🙂

i get around that by accepting 5-10 pills on RX. then i check with my wholesale pharma outlet. they usually have the same pills cheaper, or a Thai Govt generic versions. we spend +/- 12k a month, wholesale prices. obviously, the wholesaler cannot sell prescribed narcotic meds. but as posted earlier, you can buy Seroxat/Co-approvel/Lamictal /Wafarin, my cholesterol and heart meds.....etc. (just about any anti-depressant). Last month, i was just was advised by my pharma that there is a generic version of Lamictal priced at 40% less.

will that cover the 2 of you to fly 'United air' ?

first things first....your bank balance. 🙂

me too...plus a copy of my most recent or a new annual check up. my mistake 25 years ago, was dealing with a Thai agent. we didn't understand each other. so he ended up listing 2 pre-existing conditions for my wife which did not exist at that time. ironically, one of those conditions arose (floaters in the eyes) due to age (20 years later). once you make any mistakes, such as ticking off the wrong box on the list of pre-existing conditions, on your ins app, you are stuck with it for life. I know - my responsibility. 🙂

thanks - that worked out ok. are all these apps making us paranoid 🙂

to spell it out for you: Thai insurers do not check for existing conditions, unless you list them on your application form. obviously, you do not indicate that you have an Oz insurer. That said, you do have to be careful - and report honestly any medical treatment you had in Oz in recent years.

agree. but (there's always a 'but'). my ENT spotted early stage cancerous on my vocal chords (in 1999) On my most recent annual scope test, she read my annual ck up results from Surat's Thakisn hospital. (a VERY reasonable priced program). blood in urine - referred me to an urologist for a bladder scope. no probs. but i am very happy to pay for this level of preventative care.

Lie ?

what a way to go 🙂 i had a weird post to my Line this am, from someone with similar ''qualifications'' ' can Line be hacked?

the international hospitals are not cheap.if you have ins. - if youre uninsured, your post a is a bit irrelevant. one thing i've noticed is due to the aging population of Thais (at least those with ins) and expats - knee and hip replacements have become as common as sliced bread.

you sound American 😉

extra question: when i get a notification of a new incoming chat /message (Line, Whats App, etc) is the only way to reduce the notification sound by turning off the volume button ?

thanks. I tried that. for a few lines, more old charts got listed. let's say i am a ''nervous nelly''. Swiping and deleting - might that not delete the original chats,, which are important to me. ( i'm asking on behalf of a friend's g/f ) 🙂

although this has been covered, i prefer to keep a hard copy of the photo page and most current retirement visa extension stamp in my ''man bag''. which now weighs so much it should be registered as a ''weapon of mass destruction'' . altho' off topic, i also carry one plasticized copy of each of the merchant's bills i deal with where i have membership. I'm getting old. often i forget to take the Makro card with me. a copy of a Makro bill is always accepted. Ditto with presenting a copy of a bill, with the tax number of my company, for obtaining tax receipts at Home Pro, Thaiwatasadu, etc. etc.

Hi all LINE users. I need advice, about the ''search'' function. whilst on a chat with one friend, i entered BANK at the search function ( i was trying to locate bank details this friend sent to me).. Instead of listing only the chats with the word 'bank' the app listed 100% of our chats.i started deleting some of this. but i think i am on the wrong track. i removed the word 'bank' from the search function and keyed in the search function again. nothing changed. now i cannot continue with my chat. (this only applies to this one friend. how to reverse the results of a search? many thanks in advance.

I'll wager the opposite - continuing under-performance of the Thai baht, regardless of rate changes by the US FedEx. this Pua Thai coalition is trying its best to be more incompetent than the coup makers. i keep my pension coming in to a Canadian bank account. so that I can monitor FX rates, before transferring the 65k monthly. this allows me to earn 10% tax free in Thailand, on what used to be my 800k.

that must have been a tough experience. thanks for sharing. i imagine there is a thread on depression and not just faled marriages?

your post says it all. Thank you on behalf of all of us with partners suffering from depression. I would never abandon the vows i made, 52 years ago, just because the bi-polar she inherited only became apparent in mid age. Access to a psychiatrist, at some stage is important to get prescribed for up to date treatment.

thanks MIke, for all the effort you put in to starting a new version of this thread - which will keep it thread on an even keel.

tough titty. 😉

that was an extraordinary moment in UK/Irish history. there's a great movie, that catches the moment ''The Journey'' - McGuiness & Paisley

typical American shoot-from-the-lip reaction. you completely missed the point i made. which was that the electoral system sucks, as it designed by the authors of the US Constitution to be a compromise between election by Congress versus election by popular vote. the informed world knows that the US Congress is bought and paid for. the result is, more often than not, the popular vote is ignored. do you need pictures to comprehend common sense? no wonder your country is f'd up. regardless of Dems or GOP, it is half way towards a fascist state.
