  1. I'm married to a public servant and receive free healthcare under the close family scheme.

     

    I can receive govt hospital treatment with referrals to private hospitals for MRI's etc if required.

     

    For more serious problems like cancer I'll receive standard treatment but it's worth me using private cover for better treatment.

     

    However it depends on what scheme the public servant is in. I'm told as part of cost cutting measures newer staff dont receive the same family privileges.

  2. I'm reliably informed this can happen in govt hospitals. It can take time for Bangkok to process initial wages.

     

    Some hospitals advance staff wages from hospital funds until the official pay arrives.

    Maybe because they don't like my face but in the 20 year I buy at Makro here in LOS, I've never received anything, also after the check out Not.

    Depends what you buy.

    We spend around 6+ k baht a week in makro mostly on drinks and snacks. Occasionally an item we purchase has a gift which shows up on the receipt. We collect from the "tam" counter outside the checkouts.

    Normally something smallish a bottle of M150 but have received cooler boxes and a grab delivery type bag in the past.

    Since my current deposit has a higher interest rate than the 1.5% It is only of academic interest at the moment. That along with the only way I might be able to qualify would be by going into a branch to possibly validate documents. So no point in searching for opinions when it is SCB that has the only opinion that counts. Since my local branch has recently verified my identity the conclusion that, that account is not available to non PR foreign depositors seems probably correct.

    I opened an scb easy account at my local branch a year ago a few weeks after I arrived on a multi NON O married visa.

     

    My wife and I attended, filled in multiple forms stating I wasn't American and declined insurance.

     

    left an hour later with atm card and scb app on my phone.

  5. I know of a farang husband, Thai wife couple who tested positive with mild symptoms in a nearby province recently.

     

    Wife contacted the covid line and were assessed over the phone by the Govt hospital Dr to home isolate.

     

    Wife received free medication while husband required to pay 2,250 Baht, with official receipt, for his Favipuravir.

     

    Care package with medications delivered to their door by the local covid team.

  6. I know someone in the health dept heavily involved in licencing and inspecting farms. Theres a huge push from above to promote its use. 

     

    I suggest you contact your local MOPH office for guidance.

     

    From what I've heard in conversations its not a simple matter of planting some. Soils and product are sampled and have to pass regular tests for various unwanted minerals, chemicals etc. Regular farm inspections are carried out by Moph teams.
