  1. I thought it was Nakhon Sawan? My wife will be thrilled at that comment 🤣
  2. They've come along way since your operation. They now have trifocal lenses but they cost a fortune https://www.brightviewcenter.com/products-and-services/trifocal-artificial-lens/
  3. I had a confrontation with my wife of 15 years. I had to point out that we are either in a Western-style relationship or Thai. She always wants to cherry-pick the rules
  4. If you did that transfer with Wise today you would receive 64,491.52
  5. You can fund your Wise transfer by using a debit card straight to your Thai bank or you can fund the transfer directly from your home bank account. The fees for transferring directly from your bank account are less than using your debit card.
  6. Any insurance would be null and void if he's not wearing a crash helmet
  7. Here in Nakhonsawan, the applications are sent to Chiang Mai for approval. In 2023, a 60-day period was 'under consideration' because they were so busy. Last year, it was back to 30 days. I am happy to report that in the 5 years I've been using this office they have been polite and helpful and I've never experienced or heard of any corruption. An elderly neighbour of mine fell while he was in the office so the head IO (female) told his wife he doesn't need to attend anymore as his wife can do it. When he died the IO attended his funeral. She told me that we are all her customers and she wouldn't have a job without us. I wish all the offices operated like this.
  8. You do not have to show the equivalent of 400,000 baht. I obtained a Non O visa based on marriage last May and I only had £1000 in my UK bank
  9. It took an extraordinary amount of time for these charges to be made. Why?
  10. I have the same symptoms as the OP but I don't have PAD. I was tested 4 years ago. I have peripheral neuropathy. I was also tested for diabetes and sciatica. I am going to Bangkok soon to have my Vit B1 tested as I've read this can cause my symptoms. So self-diagnosis is never a good thing.
  11. It is not a deflection at all. Your statement that Hamas has survived against the odds is true but only because they hide behind schools and hospitals. The truth can never be described as pathetic but it does sometimes hurt, so keep sucking on your dummy.
  12. RIP your friends and family. I don't know anyone who died from Covid but my mother died after getting the experimental mRNA Moderna bivalent vaccine. She suffered a blood clot, stroke and severe brain bleed 12 hours after the jab. She was otherwise in very good health and had just passed a fit-for-surgery health check for a knee replacement.
  13. Honda Insurance quoted me 20k but I got almost the same cover with Rooja for 9000. My wife didn't believe it and insisted on speaking with Rooja who confirmed I was correct. She was redfaced as she had just paid some stupid premium with BMW
  14. They've survived a year hiding behind civilians, schools and hospitals and all this without a care for the people they're supposed to represent.
  15. By far the majority of the illegal immigrants are adult male economic migrants and are not refugees. They are abusing the asylum system at the expense of genuine refugees.
  16. and we've just recorded the second month of negative growth so a likely recession is on the way
  17. Blue on blue is a speciality of the US military
  18. I went to a flat earther's meeting once. It was held in a pub called The Globe 🤔
  19. Wise gives you a UK bank account number and sort code so they have a deal with one of the banks or the banking authorities. Nationwide is not a bank but I bet you can get your private pension paid into their account. Wise is headquartered in London and regulated by the FCA. If they go bust they have insurance to cover up to £100k per account holder. UK banks only cover up to £80k
  20. There was a post on here where an Oz guy said he got an IDP with his Thai DL and went on holiday to Australia and hired a car and everybody was happy. So maybe it will work. Lots of ppl let their home country's licence expire
  21. Assuming his liver failure was not genetic the most likely answer is the overuse of prescription medicines, most of which are freely available to buy over the counter or a poor diet causing NAFLD which can often lead to cancer
  22. My wife used to get one when we went to England and can be used in the UK for up to one year
  23. I renewed mine online and didn't even have to provide a new photo as they asked permission to use my passport photo. You can redirect mail for up to 4 years with Royal Mail. You don't need a UK bank as Wise can offer all the same services but best to set Wise up while you still have a UK address. I use my friend's address and he opens the mail for me and takes a photo and I'm reading it in seconds. He rarely has to forward anything.
