The very first hospital I went to after moving to Chonburi was the cancer hospital. Just turned up, registered and had the check up followed by a biopsy. Since then you have to register and make an appointment. I re-registered when I got the pink card in 2016. The hospital runs an check- up package at a very reasonable rate which I have done a few times, no reference to any other hospital required. Last time I went it was about 4 week waiting list, the information you were given sounds like for specific circumstances and an attempt to avoid the initial waiting time. I would think that referrals get some priority.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:40:27 +0000Just done my Monthly transfer, for which I have used WISE for quite few years.With all this confusion about WISE I sent from my REVOLUT THB Account. Arrived in seconds marked as FTT = International Transfer at a cost of Bht 39.75 ! Bye bye WISE.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:40:21 +0000My free advice (it’s worth at least what you pay for it) is that not every treatment option is appropriate for every patient’s condition. TURP might be good for one case while Rezum might be more appropriate in another. Go and talk with several specialists at several hospitals. Find out what procedures they can do, cost, recovery, prognosis, etc. Have all the tests done that you can. (You can get your imagery, etc. and take it from doctor to doctor.) Take your time making a decision on which facility, surgeons, treatment to have. You can’t reverse these treatments, so best to get the one that’s most appropriate for your case. Good luck.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:40:20 +0000They got some pretty good stuff of that type for sale in that area, on Beach Rd, near the police station, strangely!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:40:17 +0000It's about Thailand too. Exploring Thai islands with a boat made in Thailand.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:40:13 +0000Fat chance of that if you’re one of them maga types. 🤭Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:39:01 +0000I don't know Richard and he seems honest for what that is worth :) If you meet a Thai woman outside the bar scene and even the online dating apps, your odds increase dramatically ( still slim but better ) in finding a woman that is financially secure. I did it but it was pure luck! I just saw her walking in a fruit market and had guts that day to get off my motorbike and start a conversation. Then Covid hit which cemented our bond. I'm not special and it could have happened to you if you were at the right spot at the right time. Nothing wrong with supporting your partner and having a good life. I've always done this in past relationships.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:39:00 +0000Jim, you ever hear of Tax write offs? Going into outer space has many advantages. There are many experiments going on while on the trip by all countries. The astronauts are not just sitting around looking at each other.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:38:55 +0000Indeed. And now charged with assault for beating up his father, domestic violence and stalking. Bondi Beach shooting hero Ahmed al Ahmed charged with ass...Ahmed al Ahmed disarmed one of the alleged shooters during the deadly attack at a Jewish event.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:38:02 +0000From the report His family said doctors initially told them that his life support would have to be switched off and that he would die immediately afterwards. However, according to his father Kevin Lacey, Ethan survived after being removed from life support and is now breathing on his own.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:37:47 +0000Most toddlers do.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:37:37 +0000I think all touris that use Pattaya beach should be required to pack some heat for their own safety..Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:37:22 +0000That is not the case at many other immigration officesFri, 05 Jun 2026 01:37:01 +0000I've fleshed out the OP a bit from the linked article. Fires in solar installations are certainly a potential issue, the US and Oz are continually adjusting their regulations. One isse, as noted in the article, is high-voltage DC strings of panels, a fizzing connection isn't going to self extinguish and it's often in a less than accessible location on the roof. If space allows I would always recommend the panels being on ground mount or on the car port, with the inverters and batteries if not remote from the dwelling at least in a suitably alarmed and fire-resistant space.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:36:52 +0000Of course it is. Back in Australia I have an account with ING, actually I have had two company accounts as well as the personal account for 20 years. When this BS blew up there it was impossible for me to comply with their new verification rules as I was living here. After many emails and phone calls they froze my account but fortunately they warned me that they were going to so I moved all but a small amount out of the account. The account was frozen but about 6 months later it was mysteriously unfrozen without any notification. I still have some money with them but will never put a large amount in as they have lost my trust. The same loss of trust applies to Kasikorn here.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:36:34 +0000Yes it is next to old Peppermint, which is closed, the place Marine Disco, upstair it is now I believe a big Indian club. As for the Cancer Center, I contacted them and do more research online but when times permit will go there personal and get the scoop first hand, they do give some preference to certain cancer with time requirement but like Chon Buri hospital still have long waits of hours and appointments can be between 4-6 weeks, but that is government as we know now. Can't catch a break, yesterday was schedule for a biopshy at 2pm, Hospital A, but they wanted him early to take another blood lest, Cholestrol at this point we are just going through the flow after biophsy he was suppose to be in a recovery room but his luck the screw up during the Bi, and collaspe his lung, So maybe it is all related, but patient I discussed that went in for pnemonia same diagnoses but they needed to place him ICU, for 80,000 baht a night, yet in the bi case they put in a regular room? Told in first case regular rooms don't have oxygen equipment LOL! Sitting, talking he laugh in spite of the cancer and two weeks of running around, It is a circus I guess reason Doctor told him before this test, get your house in order LOL!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:36:26 +0000Wrong thread @Purdey ?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:36:22 +0000Oh, but the hippies, like mellow man, it's Pai! whoa, like how could anyone get arrested here for working without a permit, man? It's not fair!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:36:12 +0000"...and identified the suspect as Nattaphong, known as Lek, a construction worker employed at a nearby building site". I think that clearly shows that he is Thai.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:34:38 +0000Where did that come from? It wasn't about politics, it's a world view. Being progressive only became a slur recently and I sure didn't mean it that way. Time to stop living in your head and get out and meet some new people. Sheesh.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:34:10 +0000Just another example of the tourist scum that Thailand, unlike neighbouring countries, is so skilled at attracting.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:33:38 +0000Without Chinese law enforcement involvement the main operators won’t feel a thing! These scam operations in Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos aren’t answering to Bangkok or Washington, and everyone knows where the real control sits. Until China is genuinely serious about its nationals involved in these activities, the “joint operations” are nothing more than cosmetic.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:32:29 +0000bitcoin ? will you not get taxed in your home country, once you converted your coins to REAL MONEY ? deemoney... 499.999 baht per time, limit 700.000 baht a day and better have a good reason if you repeat it as they will ask for proof, bank statements of the last 3 months, etc...Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:32:23 +0000Just more members of the tourist scum that Thailand, unlike neighbouring countries, is so skilled at attracting.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 01:32:01 +0000
