Does anyone have any experience with going to a government hospital (such as Queen Sirikit near the Pattaya Airport) for a crown. I know that for general medical things, prices are much lower but I'm wondering if I could save money when I get a bridge replaced at some point. The bridge is 3 crowns so can be quite pricey.

BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
coolcarer replied to george's topic in The War in Israel
Size of these things, huge, only thanks to all the air defences, otherwise hundreds of civilian deaths would have been guaranteed. Over 880 pounds of explosives in just 1 ballistic missile. Around 120 were fired by Iran at Israel. The world must recognize Iran’s attack could’ve ended very differently. It’s thanks to our advanced aerial defense systems and the help of our international partners that the attack was successfully thwarted. -

Crackdown on foreign criminals – spotlight on Phuket
thesetat replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I think this is the start of things to happen nationwide. Phuket always seems to shake the tree and the rest of the country follows. All these foreigners using Thai nominees to obtain properties they could not normally obtain. Setting up a business name solely for this purpose may find they have no home in Thailand soon. Then there are all those sex workers from Africa and Russia and other countries taking away a good income from the Thai sex workers and doing it without work permits. Overstaying will always be a problem when they continue letting foreigners enter the country without a visa. -
What insurance policy do i need?
soisanuk replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Insurance in Thailand
You may want to consider checking into this company: https://www.wrlife.org/ It was recommended by a speaker a few months ago at the Pattaya City Expats Club. A couple of members in the audience mentioned they also have medical insurance from this company and were satisfied with their coverage. I have had no dealings with this company as my health insurance from USA covers me here and I have no need for their cover. I am mentioning it as a possibility and, of course, recommend due diligence before obtaining. But I did note they are listed by Bangkok Hospital Pattaya (BHP) as being one they accept - Listing from BHP website: https://bangkokpattayahospital.com/plan-your-visit/health-insurance/insurance-companies/ -

I already agreed that he did... my question is why didn't the msm follow through with the story in the meantime... trump was holding back to reveal it in the last month leading to the election... the msm was holding back and trying to bury the story to protect joe... -

The whole series used to be on YouTube. Don't know if it still is. I stayed at a 2 bedroomed cottage in Port Merion for 1 night with 2 Thai girlfriends who were students. Great buffet breakfast in the pavilion overlooking the estuary. Driving there from London we were a bit late and stopped at a roadside pub to ask for directions. Everyone was speaking Welsh. As soon as I began to ask the barman the way in English , the whole place fell silent and stared at us. Talk about the elephant in the room. Freaky like a scene from Straw Dogs. This was about 44 years ago so no internet and The Prisoner was forgotten about so we had the whole village almost to ourselves. Jam packed with tourists now.

Snap! I too have an unopened DVD box set of "The Prisoner". I bought it on special in London when I was working there. I think it was 10 quid or something. It sits in a box with my unopened box sets of Cracker, and Prime Suspect. All excellent series which I enjoyed at the time, but when I can buy an unused DVD of a movie I never saw before for $2 at the op shop, seen series must wait their turn, which likely will never come, and they will end up in an op shop for a few $. One series from that era that I did watch in the past few years though, was Edge of Darkness- the original, not the rubbish remake. That has to be the best political series of all time, IMO. It came out of the golden age of British tv, when they made excellent series like MOGUL. Sadly that era has gone and never again will such brilliant tv be seen again.

It is not considered a high risk industry. I agree that Thailand could do with better zoning, but even then, you are not going to remove all the hazards and risks. Yes accidents occur, but it would be impossible to separate all commercial processes and residential areas, in Thailand or most countries. “Ammonia is used in wastewater treatment, leather, rubber, paper, food and beverage industries. It also is used in cold storage, refrigeration systems and in the production of pharmaceuticals. Ammonia is used in the printing as well as cosmetics industries. It is also used in fermentation.”
