If you and your wife agree on all settlement terms, fly to Thailand and do an uncontested divorce at the Amphur. Bring all your documents, get everything translated, and complete a Marital Settlement Agreement (pay an attorney to do it). You want an MSA because Amphur will use that instead of their standard documents, which take forever. Then, both can go to Ampur, register into the system, and proceed with the administrative divorce. To complete everything (because you don't have a Thai marriage) could take a week or two, but it is still far cheaper than hiring an attorney and processing a divorce in CA. If you choose to go the CA route, you can use her last residence for service, or if you can't find her (you must prove diligence to the court), you can serve by publishing in the local paper. I still think that administrative uncontested divorce in Thailand is less expensive and will be recognized in most states in the US.

The record says they don't have your original record, and they recommend you go back to the hospital where your original hernia was repaired. It also shows your mesh has failed because they can manually palpate a soft mass, which confirms this. As another responder posted, mesh repairs can and do fail, although the incidence is low. Maybe you have been doing some heavy lifting. A hernia mesh is often considered a permanent device that can remain in place without replacement. However, if a hernia returns to the same area, the mesh may need to be replaced or a new one placed. It is not that difficult a procedure today. It can be done by either open repair or laparoscopic repair. I also had a repair 16 years ago, but it's still okay. However, I just got the other side fixed one week ago at my local government hospital using a laparoscopic technique. Excellent service and great price. Just get it fixed, mate—no big deal.

Neither. My mortality is based on what I put in my mouth and how I choose to conduct my life.

This was "the plan".

Woodworking! Building stuff and uplifting skills to make lovely things for home and friends eventually. Learning Japanese joinery techniques. Always something new to learn and try.

Go to any ENT specialist. Easy to diagnose and easy to fix. You can even do it yourself. Search some YouTube videos for Epley Maneuver. There is no evidence long Covid causes Vertigo. Total bull<deleted>. We aren't even sure what long Covid is.

There are a few Assisted Care Communities starting to gear up. Worth looking into. This one focuses on the elderly afflicted with Alzheimers or Parkinsons Disease: http://www.absolutelivingthailand.com/aboutus_th.php The website is in Thai, but you can translate the site in Google chrome. You could try using ChatGPT to find more similar resources.

So, if you married in two countries, say Thailand and the USA, and got an administrative divorce in Thailand, is the divorce recognized in the USA (or UK, etc)? Do you need to do anything in your country of origin to have the divorce recognized, or to remarry in Thailand?

We don't know if there is any truth to this claim. I would imagine they would make certain to not be in a position where a claim like this can be found. Have to wait and see.

Get online and do some research. Many hospitals post rates for these proceedures on their website.

Out of curiosity, why did you opt for an open repair? Where you given the choice to have a laproscopic repair?

A bill is working its way through parliment. Plenty of regulations will come. Similar thing happened in many US states.

This happens all the time and moreso to Thai people. You should read the Thai forums on this topic. The problem is regulatory, consumer protections and weak enforement of the law.
