There was not a delayed response! Reporting an adult missing is not a high priority and is not usually looked at for 24 hours as most turn up. If it was a child it would have been a different matter and if the neighbour had reported the scream then there may have been a more immediate response.

I can confirm my non-O application last August was granted with only £1000 in the bank and that was the same for the previous year. The website does say £10,000

I get my heart meds from them. I wouldn't say they were cheap but reasonable and genuine. I think they also have a branch in Bangkok

There's one in the basement of V Square

In a FB group I'm in an American had self-checked-in but was stopped at the boarding gate and asked for an onward ticket

I read an article saying almost a third of the world's population suffers from white coat syndrome. In the UK you have to wear a BP monitor for 24 hours so the doctor has an accurate reading before he prescribes medication. My reading at the Thai dentist was 156/101 (I was there for root canal work) but my reading at home was 128/81 and 126/83 - I have two machines (Omron and Kinetik) The correct way to monitor your BP is to take the reading at the same time every day (doesn't matter what time). The cuff should be at the same height as your heart and your feet should be flat on the ground with you sitting upright. There should be silence with no outside stimuli. Take 3 readings about 3/5 minutes apart and add them together and divide by 3. This will give you your mean BP and it will be far more accurate than the near useless static machines they use in Thai hospitals.

You should take D3 with K2. There are supplements that combine the two

No such thing as an EU passport. The visa isn't attached to the passport as it is a stickerless visa that is sent to your email.

This is what my office told me after a trip to Vietnam. They said as I had a re-entry permit and I'm returning to the same address using the same permission to stay so the TM30 is still valid and doesn't need renewing. My friend who had travelled with me was on a visa-exempt entry and they said he must do a new TM30 as his last one was cancelled when he left the country (his 30-day permission of stay was cancelled). He entered getting another visa-exempt and so has a new permission of stay. That was translated by my wife but that is how I understood the conversation went with the IO.

Barn door and horse bolted comes to mind

No, I do not have a work permit.

Don't ask as they don't know so they say that. You have to register but it is easily done online with Bangkok Bank. The option is on the app also but I've never tried that. My Swift transfers only work during office hours so I expect it is manually checked.

I don't have an FCD account but I send swift transfers 2 or 3 times a year to my First Direct (HSBC) in the UK

Some offices still require a TM30 report when you've travelled outside your district, Chiang Mai is one. I'm glad most don't.
