Eye surgery.
My spouse and I can strongly second that. Dr. Somchai is truly excellent. We both had lasik with terrific results. In my case, I was told in the US that if I had lasik I would still need to use glasses, either for close vision or distance vision. Since the whole point for me was to ditch glasses, I didn't have it done in the US. When I consulted with Dr, Somchai some 12 years ago, he said he thought he could do the lasik and I would be able to see both close and distant without glasses. And, that was exactly the case. Not having to wear glasses or struggling with uncomfortable contacts has been great. I would suggest an appointment with Dr. Somchai to check your eyes and discuss your options. -

Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
With 494 accidents in 3 years there I think it might be an issue of the traffic lights being too close to the bottom of the bridge and not being visible. If 10 accidents happened there in three years perhaps you could blame the drivers, a hundred would be stretching it, but 500??? Every 2 days!!!! We obviously have a problem. Come on people, use your brains for once. Nothing against this wonderful free forum but the information is often wrong, badly translated, AI generated and the photos are never actually of the actual incident. The driver did NOT say he was speeding. He said he was going too fast to stop in time (because of the situation). Poorly designed intersection and driving a heavy tanker. The dumber people are the ones more often that revert to the “troll” accusation rather than do a bit of easy research and find the real facts. Research that would be quicker than writing your long winded posts based on inaccurate information. -

Kennedy may drop out and support Trump
This is what the so called “democrats” have become: a convoluted mess of terrorist Hamas sympathizers, using the races of different folks as a tool to incite hate and division which is racism in of itself, contorting the rule of law to go after political opponents, imposing warped DEI agendas on freaking children for god sakes. The insidiousness of left has absolutely no moral bottom. All this being funded and conducted by a multi billionaire cabal that want nothing less than complete control and power over everyone and everything, it is these people who absolutely have no regard for the constituencies of the left, in fact they despise everyone beneath them. The constituencies of the left are being played by the biggest scam in human history. -

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
I read that too... and while I agree that 'SAFETY FIRST' seems to have gone down the 'anti-farang' road in this thread.... ... I do wonder what the foreign driver did to incite the Thai Motorcyclists into such an angry state.... Lots of potentials... middle finger perhaps (total guess of course) - but some very innocuous things bring Thai's to boiling temperature in a split second - none of which justifies their actions, nevertheless, knowing such information helps us learn more and know how to avoid exposure to such psychopaths when out and about. -------- It never ceases to amaze me how Thai's allow a situation to escalate so quickly and round up so much backup in such a short time-frame. A while ago playing golf (in Kanchanaburi) with a Thai-friend.... We were putting out on the green and one of the group shot onto the green. I shouted.... they could see us... and a second player shot the ball onto the green so I kicked it away and told the caddy to pick up the other ball. When the group (of 4 older Thai folk ) approached - they were incensed, arguing at our slow play. We argued that we could only play at the speed in front of us - it was a weekend and play was slow, but nothing we could do about that. The arguement developed - me arguing with the Thai man about his dangerous play, him arguing that we were slow and angry that I'd kicked his ball away. My Wife arguing the same with his wife... Proper silly stuff... meanwhile my Thai friend on the phone. We'd finished our game so my Wife and I walked off... Thai guy still shouting... We'd left the green and stopped at the 19th hole when two cars pulled up.... my Thai friend had called backup and they'd arrived within 10 mins... It seems many have 'access to instant backup'.... And its true,.... whenever I travel somewhere... Phuket, Chiang Mai etc... my Thai friend is always giving me numbers - contact this guy if you have a problem !!! -

student visa and non b visa issue
Hi everyone, Thanks for your suggestions last months ago. They were all really helpful for me. To give you guys up date with my case, the officer who is handling the non b extension did actually notice and asked me to cancel my student visa first before accepting my non b visa extension case. But fortunately, I prepared another letter with the date of departure as my last day of semester by requesting from my university. So I didn't get any overstay stamps or fine imposed. -

I don't. It's not like I'm looking down on them. It's just the way things are.- 1

Teenager Stabs Foreign Man in Road Rage Incident Near Pattaya
I could put up daily videos that would shock people, I'm not talking about a few bad apples in a week/month, and this in my short daily 3km drive to my daughters school. To me it's just pure insanity, made even worse by how dangerous the drivers are near the school. -

Maybe he didn’t have the funds to fight it and figured the guilty plea was his best bet.- 1

Bangkok Taxi Driver Faces Backlash for Not Using Meter
And I think 50/50 is fair accusation - but its down to individual experience.... thus your correction is as flawed for the very same reasons you question the comment itself. IMO: In central Bangkok in the day time: It used to be about 30% trying to scam us... now in my experience its about 70%... In central Bangkok in the day time: It used to be about 30% trying to scam us... now in my experience its about 50%... By 'central Bangkok, I mean area's such as: - Khoa Sarn Road Area - Siam / MBK area - Central World - Asoke Area - Nana Area - Ekammai up to Asoke - Sukhumvit Soi 11 (after 10pm 100% of drivers will scam high 3x rates) - Rajamangala stadium after an event (100% of drivers will scam extortionate rates asking for 1000 Baht) - Bitek after an event (100% of drivers will scam extortionate rates) - Impact Area after an event (100% of drivers will scam extortionate rates) Out of town obviously less scammers more honest taxi drivers.... (as per my example - Suk 71 seems to be fare fewer scam attempts). -

Bombshell:Dem Convention Protests for Palestine
No, I am unfortunately used to hearing pure, old-fashioned hatred of Jews masquerading as anti-Zionism. Below are examples of the rhetoric you hear at every pro-Palestinian demonstration. Does anyone want to tell me the two in the video don't hate Jews? I would bet both of them are in Chicago right now. vderESNWdW3VviEh.mp4- 1
