Most Bathroon doors in Restaurants open Inwards which means on the way out it requires pulling a handle to exit . I see so many people not washing their hands after relieving themselves so I always use the tissue I have just dried with to pull the handle to exit .Same in Hospitals that have a simila...

RL Traders post regarding having to wait 30 days (Two consecutive years ) for an extension on a
retirement visa confirms my suspicicion that this practice will be enforced infinitum and not just a
"One Off" event to weed out the Illegals

Is immigration still requiring a Thirty day waiting period to issue an extension of the retirement stamp or are
they giving the extension on day of reporting

I have had Dental implant surgery and maintainence in Los Angeles and here in Thailand both in Bangkok and Chiang Mai .Has anyone on this forum had implant surgery here in Udon ? I did an internet search and there is a Clinic named St Pauls Dental Clinic with an office Close to the Railway station a...

Every major Hospital in Udon has an Eye Doctor and equipment to check your eye Health .The machine to
check the IOP is called a Topometer which I would advise everyone to have if you value your sight Gluacoma
is not something to trivialize with .

I would speculate (excuse the Pun) that 90% of the people reading this are wearing Glasses. I would also bet that many of those people have not been checked for Glaucoma since leaving their Native countries .I agree with the OP that all of 'Opticians around Udon Malls are not qualified to diagnose a...

Of course the issue is "Fast track' .The same service exists at the Land Office and no my Wife has never
been issued a receipt at this venue either .If you want to sit there all day that is entirely up to you.

Not too sure that if one requested an "Express" service and did not wish to return in a month or did not want an additional stamp in their passport how on earth could that be construed as Corruption on the part of the "requester" regardless of what transpires on the other side .I just paid 1100 baht...

Four years ago I underwent cataract eye surgery and had "Intraocular Lens implants (IOL) In some cases (mine) a hazy membrane forms behind the new lens known as "Posterior Capsule Opacity" .There is a simple YAG Laser procedure for this condition which only takes a few minutes to perform by a compet...

When I retired in 2003 I directed both of my Social Security payments from the UK and the USA into my Business checking Account in California .This account had a "BillPay" function which I have used quite happily until Dec 14th 2014 when my Business Checking was closed by Wells Fargo .I initially th...

Sincere thanks to both posters for their Help . My last bill was horrendous !

For the past ten years I have been using an 800 number to call the USA .That service is no longer available from
Thailand and I have recently incurred a large Phone bill by paying "Full Fare" .Does anyone have any viable options
to reduce the cost ?

A reciprocal Kick in the Gonads would have been appropriate from the sitting position

Be happy you do not live in Chiang Mai .Getting a simple 90 day can take a couple of days .Udon is a
Paradise compared to Chiang Mai and other Immigration Venues .

Just saw a Large billboard advertising an outdoor Jazz concert at UD .TOWN on Nov 30th .
What surprised me is that is Featuring the DUTCH SWING COLLEGE who were formed in 1945 .
I used to like them back in the 1950,s A long time before Rock n Roll as we know it today .

Yesterday my Wife and I attended the Funeral of Neal Crenshaw ( Lil Red ) who was tragically killed in a
Motor cycle accident last Wednesday .His son Mike attended the Funeral was pretty banged up but
making a good recovery . Sadly neither of them were wearing a Crash Helmet .

How the worm has turned .Just a few weeks ago we had an "Immigration bashing " debacle implying corruption was rampant over a lousy five dollar camera fee Blah Blah Blah .On the Bangkok Bank issue (Main Branch ) .When I made a large deposit my Country was listed as Great Britain .The teller was maki...

I can commiserate with the OP as I live very close to the venue where last nights Horrible screamfest was emanating from .It was in the grounds of Nongsamrong municipality .Apparently Loy Kratong was celebrated in this area yesterday hence the din . I have lived in the area for ten years and last ni...
