That appears to be what is happening now in the UK.

My wife had difficulties with Warfarin and her doc switched her to Apixaban (Eliquis) which doesn't seem to have any unwanted side effects.

Some people don't know they have a heart problem until it causes an issue like this, my (Thai) wife discovered she had a congenital hole in her heart at 68 years of age!

In the basket on the front of their bikes?

It's getting commonplace in the UK now, only it's bikes, electric bikes & electric scooters instead of motorbikes. My local shopping area in Oxford appears to be getting as lawless as Thailand! Here in SamutPrakan the Prakasa road has a new green painted cycle lane which appears to function as a ghost lane for motorbikes going against the adjacent traffic!

I really don't understand the mindset that makes people think that 'ghost riding' is a good idea? There certainly seems to be a significant increase in the past 5 years or so. Some roads (southern end of the SriNakarin road in SamutPrakan for example) seem to have a continuous stream of motorbikes heading the wrong way!

Oh, the joys of travelling via the sandpit! Did it the first couple of times UK to Thailand, dismal experience! Never again, direct flights only now (EVA Air/Thai Airways) thanks! Andrew

@Sheryl thanks, I know I'm a year late, but previously I've just screenshotted the search results and saved it. Just did the click on the blue search icon in the results and then the .pdf export from the 'View' page worked perfectly. Strange that nowhere on the .pdf does it say that it's a TM30, that only appears in the URL and not even the file name. Thanks, Andrew

Well, a year ago I tried at SamutPrakan DLT while on a TR60 visa and they require a residence certificate which immigration (went there in person) will only issue to 'Long Term' visa holders, so I was ultimately unsuccesful. I may try eMailing SamutPrakan immigration and ask them if they will issue a residence certificate against a DTV.......... If anyone has acquired a residence certificate from a local immigration office while on a DTV please chime in. Andrew

I'll be interested to know if immigration will want to see the reason (medical/study/work etc.) each time you re-enter using this DTV. I know you have to show a valid reason for granting it on initial application but will they start quizzing you in a couple of years time to see if you still have for example ongoing medcal appointments? Also will it count as a 'Long Term Visa' to satisfy a bank to open an account? Andrew.

I've heard this before, but I've asked at a few different banks (both in SmautPrakan and @ Seacon Square) with no success (while on either a 30 day exempt or on a TR60 visa) and they always say need a work permit or long term visa. Same requirements for a residence certificate from SamutPrakan immigration last year for a driving license.

I'm waiting to see if anyone on a Destination Thailand Visa succeeds in getting a Residence Certificate and a Thai drivers license or being able to open a bank account..... Basically is it considered to be a 'Long Term' visa? Andrew

As @Ojas said you won't have a problem either way <provided> you pre book 'special assistance'

Sent you a message...........
