  1. There is no immigration check on departures from the US. Only on entry. But indeed, judge should have required him to surrender his passport as condition of bail.
  2. It was not just because he hadn't spoken to them, but that he had failed to board return flight as planned. That would worry any family. Also there had been some unspecified "odd" communications from him just prior, then radio silence. He has since been found and is reported as receiving consular assistance from his Embassy. So can infer that indeed something untoward (but not lethal) had happened.
  3. Many Air bnb properties have reduced rates for weekly/monthly. And Air bnb has rooms as well as entire places. Obviously a lot depends on location and time of year. Air bnb hosts, if they like you, may be willing to rent you directly after the aid bnb period ends.
  4. The least expensive option is this stand-alone imaging center. (Scroll down under "contact us" for the CM branch.) They will supply the scan on a CD which you can then bring to your doctor. https://mrithailand.com/en/contact-us-2/ Hoever if contrast media is required, there is a risk (small in frequency but potentially life threatening) in having that done outside of a hospital setting. You need to first check with your doctor as to scan parameters. Do not self-prescribe this as you risk wasting money.
  5. There are both government pysch hospitals (few) and pysch departments within larger general govt hospitals. Where in Thailand are you located?
  6. Places popular with AN board members include: http://www.dentalhospitalbangkok.com/ https://dentalhospitalthailand.com/ https://www.thantakit.com/ There are other, smaller (e.g. 1 dentist) places but for gum work you need a periodontist. All of the above should have one. In general dental work in Thailand is not very expensive unless something like a crown or implant is involved, and in those cases the bulk of the cost is the prosthesis.
  7. Bed bugs would leave multiple bites, each a single one. This was a single bite from something with 2 incisors. I still vote spider, mainly because I think he's notice if he had a snake in his house. Doctor thought snake (non-venomous). Either way he's fine.
  8. This. Who is your current insurer? Do you have any chronic healrh problems? Surgeries or hospitalizations in the past 10 years? Any regular medications?
  9. Flaming post and replies to it removed. Please keep it civil.
  10. Nuts are perfect: peanuts almonds cashews etc. Whole milk unsweetened yogurt. NO sweetened yogurt. Cheese. Meat of any kind but NO rice/bread/noodles with it. (Referring to bedtime snack. Rice at dinner OK).
  11. Most long term Thai residrnts experience this sooner or later, I certainly have several times over the years. Once it developed into a cellulitis, all other times not. A spider or other insect. If the area around it doesn't become red or inflamed no need to do anything. If it does then see doctor.
  12. Mood changes linked to drops in blood sugar are a common feature of the perimenopause and menopause. Also frequent feature of PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoria, previously cslled PMS.) In that case it occurs (or markedly worsens) in the last 2 weeks of the menstrual cycle and is relieved by the arrival of menstruation. PMDD and perimenopause often go together i.e. many women first develop PMDD in the perimenopause, or it severly worsens then. Perimenopause is the 10-15 year period before actual memopause. During this time hormone levels begin to fluctuate. In Thai wonen perimenopause can start as early as 35. The Thai rice-based diet makes people very prone to hypoglycemia between meals/in the morning becsuse white rice has very high glycemic index. If you can persuade her to eat something high in protein and containing some fat but no processed carbs just before sleep it will help. Nuts are good for this.
  13. Having had refractive surgery before makes a big difference and you need a doctor specifically experienced with this, of whom there are not many since refractive surgery has not been around that long. Definitely go to Rutnin Eye Hospital. Dr. Roy there is excellent and experienced in doing cataract surgery on people who had PRK Lasik etc. Many board members have used him. Trained in Canada and dpeaks fluent English. https://www.rutnin.com/en/doctor/detail.36.1_Roy_0_0.html#thumb He will need to know your original (pre-PRK) eye power and other parameters. Contact the place that did your PRK for this. Most people seem to find that the multifocal lenses aren't worth the added cost. Indeed some people can't tolerate them at all. The only real downside to regular lens (less than half the price) is that 6ou may still need reading glasses. Sometimes this can be avoided by having one eye und3rcorrected. You csn discuss sll this with Dr. Roy. Note that cataract only needs removal if it is affecting your vision to an extent that affects our daily life.
