LASIK Basic Cost 2024
Thanks everyone. Ive done some checking about and looks like the better, current technologies are about 70-160k. That is probably excluding lower cost traditional Lasik and PRK although they still seem to be performed today here and abroad. I'm a bit surprised at the small cost difference in some procedures compared to US. I'm not interested in Pattaya, thanks for the input and recommendation. -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
If you want to avoid any hassle, just fly in and out of Thailand without any issues. Be sure to stay at least 2 nights abroad before returning to Thailand. You can usually do this about 3-4 times a year before they start asking questions. When they do, be sure to have 20,000 baht in cash, a return flight reservation, and a hotel or condo booking, and you'll be good to go. The reason they've tightened the requirements at land borders is due to the large number of travelers going in and out. This situation will likely become more pronounced when DTV holders start doing border runs to activate their next 180 days. The same applies to embassies—the busier they are, the stricter the requirements for visa applications. It's not that they don't want you here; it's just that they're overwhelmed. Thailand's immigration process is still lagging behind compared to countries like Malaysia and Singapore, where you can register online and simply scan your passport upon arrival without needing to interact with immigration staff. This will probably change in the future. -

Foreigner Steals Taxi While High on Cannabis, Crashes into Lamp Post
All drugs, including alcohol, can change the moods and actions of those taking them. Some more than others and some are prone to violence because of them. All drugs include prescription drugs, which actually kill more people yearly than many other illegal drugs do. This is from doctors who don't really care enough about their patients to keep a close eye on them and how they affect their lives and bodies. I wouldn't think weed is considered totally "safe" to use, even among all the users worldwide like myself that use it daily or infrequently. Cigarettes, which are legal, kill people by the thousands yearly, and do affect moods in many. Alcohol of course kills thousands also, including in most of the fatal car accidents. Using weed occasionally isn't an addiction, nor is alcohol the same way. What others along with myself here are saying is that this man was obviously on something other than just the weed he admitted to,and or is already suffering from a mental illness, because being high on weed doesn't make people do such irrational things. Alcohol yes, along with just being someone already ":out there". Again, we are only talking about weed and not other more dangerous drugs. Marijuana has proven to have it's worth, especially among cancer patients and those with ongoing pain, and I know many people again, who use it almost daily and aren't having any problems either in their careers, driving or inter relational. In fact it helps some of them cope with stress, which is a lot worse for everyone than just having a doobie now and then. -

Phuket Recognized for Leading Anti-Corruption Efforts in Thailand
No, it is saying what it is saying. phuket is stricter on many rules, prosecuting fake nominee companies etc. Phuket town is even red hot on parking tickets. It isn’t perfect but they do follow rules here more than in other provinces. Hence the recognition. -

Any advantages to retirement over marriage visa?
Less intrusive than having a tradesman enter your home to fix an issue. The appointment was arranged, they took 2 photos on the porch and did not want to enter the house. They had the 2 witnesses sign a prepared statement that we lived together at that address. 15 minutes, done and dusted. Very rare.
