  1. Past hour
  2. Moved to health forum. Retinal detachment is an emergency. However from what you say, you might just have age-related floaters. These are common and usually require no treatment (and as annoying as they seem, your brain will soon learn to ignore them). New onset of floaters does warrant a retinal exam but it is not as super urgent as classic signs of detachment would be (flashes of light, reduction in visual field, blurred vision). If any of the former occur, go straight to an emergency room of a large hospital.
  3. Nonsense Agreed... it reads like a mongers outlook to Sin-Sod... The reality is each sitation is so very different from another and takes a little understanding of the social dynamics, socio-economics, education levels etc and even where you are located etc. One of my Wife's friends received millions of Baht in Sin-Sod - mine was nowhere near that, but money was returned anyway. Wedding costs totalled about 1.2 Million Baht and we received that amount in envelope money (it was a large wedding with a lot of guests most of whom neither my Wife no I had met before !
  4. My wife was a virgin when we got married, I paid a dowry of 22.000 baht and got most of it back and we are still married for 23 years
  5. Is that why elite in BKK call issan people Monkeys and uneducated kwilco. Why do you think most see Thais smiling at us are hiding behind that smile and its false.
  6. Do you have any independently verified proof that 30,000 innocent women and children have been massacred in Gaza? Even the Hamas terrorists admit that over 10,000 of the dead were Hamas. Plus of the remaining 20,000 there might just be some adult males. Or do Israeli bombs only kill women and children? Exaggerating really weakens your argument.
  7. What argument have I lost and how did I insult anyone? The chap wasn't threatened with arrest for being Jewish. I looked at what was said, that's why what I said is correct.
  8. Hyperbole is my word of the day because there’s a lot of it about. Your leap to the Star of David was an example. The Police Officer was clearly concerned for the safety and well being of the activist. The activist is unharmed, safe and well; I believe that’s a good thing.
  9. https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a35795194/michael-bisping-ufc-clinically-blind-detached-retina-artificial-eye-steve-o/ He still went on and became champion, with one eye only!
  10. Vientiane only wanted a certified bank letter and copy of passbook. CW requirements were far more extensive. Even Los Angeles embassy only asks for local bank evidence. As someone who worked in Thailand for 20 years, I could not meet the CW requirements as my money was earned in Thailand. The OP is looking for solutions without a bank account. Just offering my experience. Vientiane appointment was easy and I was in and out of the embassy in 5 minutes.
  11. I'm by no means as qualified as you, but I have noticed that the antiquated linguistic style that you have picked up on and rightly highlighted, is also widely spoken by Left-wing activists, Trade union officials, and of course woke hypocrites who spend most of their waking hours accusing just about everybody of either Racism, Discrimination, or any one of a multitude of "phobias" depending on which one is trending
  12. Sriphat is a very modern building and is home to somewhere in excess of 100 specialists, all of whom are associate and assistant professors....the range of medical talent there is very impressive. The GH on the other hand is where some senior Sriphat medical staff put in limited hours, plus the building is nowhere near as nice. The other point to make about Sriphat is that it's an end to end process that uses all the diagnostics of Suan Doc, everything from PET scans to over twenty six operating theatres is all right there with an ambulance shuttle service to take you around the different building locations.
  13. If this is the sort of reporting we can look forward to under the new ownership, I predict that click numbers will be heading South.
  14. Nah, it's facts and also good advice and that would be the standard for me. But you can obviously give your future wive who did the carousel more. Everybody's free in his decisions.
  15. Correct... So they were experienced... She [the Amphur Officer] seemed extremely fastidious which may have made her slower, and of course, I have no frame of reference as to how quick the process should be as that was the first and only time I've been through the process.... Although she took a shine to my Mother In Law (who was our Witness) and they were having a little chat through the process. It would be interesting for new people about to go through the process to know how long it's taken for others. - Yellow Book: about 2 hours) / Pink ID: about 10 mins - And the slowest part was getting the Translation of the Embassy Verified Copy of my Passport approved by the MFA, which had been carried out a couple of weeks before hand.
  16. Cracking song. However how does this fit into trains? The last plane out of Sydney almost gone In 7 flying hours I'll be landing in Hong Kong...
  17. Here we go when the argument is lost you revert to insults, try looking at what was actually said before you insult other posters.
  18. Why. Vientiane require an appointment added fact is that OP asked specific question. Have a read.
  19. Hyperbole is your word of the day and it will not work as your get out of jail for free card I'm afraid. Saying to a Jew you are openly Jewish is antisemitic how ever you care address this issue!
  20. That doesn't even make sense. Arrest to prevent a breach of the peace, not for being Jewish. It's excruciatingly clear that you don't. 🙄
  21. And your view concerning why the Vietnam War happened is.....? Would you agree with this?: "We fought the war to prevent Indochina from carrying out successful social and economic development. " (Chomsky, Indochina Newsletter, Issue 18, November – December, 1982, pp. 1-5 [October, 1982]) So far... We have still not learned much. "Very little"
  22. Why are you asking me? If the police officer believed their was a likelihood of a breach of the peace, which he clearly did, then he is bound to act to avoid that occurring. The demonstration passed peacefully. The activist is unharmed, safe and well; I believe that’s a good thing.
  23. So I was out shopping with the missus yesterday and suddenly got this weird sh!t floating around in my right eye. Once I realized it was internal, I went to the BPH and they've booked me in for a retinal scan next week. I've been Googling and it appears I have all the symptoms of a detached retina. Has anyone had this, and any experience of getting it treated?
