Thanks to all who provided information. While waiting, I decided to tr spirulina from GNC. It's expensive too, but I have long wondered if it might serve as a kelp substitute. The trial is now underway.
-
Thank you. Do you, or anyone, know if iHerb is based in Thailand ? I couldn't determine online.
-
Source needed in Bangkok for kelp tablets. All online sources, except one are charging about twice the price I am used to paying. The sole reasonably priced one has not replied. So, I'm looking for a store. West of the river would be best, but can travel if necessary.

Address it to Poste Restante at whatever Thai Post Office will be most convenient for you. (That is "General Delivery" in French, and is the internationally understood term.) I can't say how long they will hold it for you; I think it is 30 days. Check with Thai Post online if you can.

Contact Krusapa (Teachers Associiation of Thailand). They have lists of accredited universities. -
I am not American, so maybe I should not be commenting. For whatever it is worth, I agree. Some person(s) in the Democratic party need to help or persuade Biden to find a graceful exit. In terms of a possible replacement, no one seems to be suggesting Kamala Harris as a possible replacement. This would be the normal alternative, and the fact that she is almost never mentioned is a huge slap in the face to her.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see a way to send another member a Private Message.

Change visa from ED
allane replied to TonsuredTeat's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your post is confusing. You mention a Work Permit.Are you planning to work here ? You mention bank statements. These are not required to obtain a Work Permit and corresponding Non-Immigrant "B" visa. Are you instead planning to retire, or marry a Thai ? As I see it, your time in the monkhood is irrelevant, and you are going to have to leave the country. -
Long distance buses from Swampy (airport bus station)
allane replied to surreybloke's topic in General Topics
I was in the airport a few days ago. Near Door 8 at street level, there is still a sign advertising buses to Khon Kaen and Udon Thani. To the best of my recollection there is only one daily departure to each of those. I know nothing about exact departure times, or if advance booking is possible. -
I wouldn't even call it pain. I would call it sensitivity. I want to close the eye when I encounter bright light, or cool wind in my face.
-
No. It seems to have started with the advent of the cool weather.
-
I have a minor problem in one eye. My vision is fine, and I have no pain. Tear ducts are functioning normally. But I'm sensitive to light, and also to cold air from air conditions. It seems as if this is something I could probably cure with some over the counter eye drops. Any recommendations.

From the date that Immigration first opened in that building (March 2010, if memory serves me correctly), there have been shuttle buses. Since sometime before I returned to Bangkok 18 months ago, they have been using an open "golf cart" type of vehicle that seats approximately 20 people.
-
Routine cleaning, and possibly a small repair. Western Bangkok (west of the river). Any recommendations ?
-
That might be possibility, if my pension income was that high. It isn't !
-
Yes, I've considered that option. Now that I am here on a Tourist Exempt entry, I don't know if my bank will allow me to transfer, say B 400,000 out. (I have about B 400,000 on deposit in my Canadian acct., so should not have to transfer B 800,000 back to Canada.)
-
One more try: I already have a bank account, in my name only. I have B 800,000, proveable on deposit from Sept. 2022,of which B 400,000 is proveable from June 2022. I am with Bangkok Bank. Does anyone know if their branches are capable of producing 12 month statements on the spot, or is this something that needs to come from elsewhere ?
-
I'm the OP. Sifting through all of this verbiage is not easy, especially when there are contradictions. I think I can meet all the requirement, with the possibile exception of proving that my B 800,000 came from abroad. Background: I had been on Exxtensions of Stay - Retirement for 11 yrs., but recently was unable to renew due to a lost bankbook on a closed bank account. Previously, I had no need to prove that my annual "top-up" of my bank account was done by funds transferred from abroad. I did these electronically, and have no printed statements from my Canadian bank. Because of the lost bankbook, I have no written proof from my Thai bank either. What option(s) do I have, other than going to Immigration, pleading my case, and hoping for the best ?
-
1. Bangkok, as stated in my OP 2. Retirement 3. 66 4. Canadian

I am on a Visa Exempt entry, and want to apply for the Non-O visa. Can someone give me a list of what I need to present to Immigration when I apply in Bangkok ?
