    Why would he want to go to a civilized country when he is such an ultra right wing fundamentalist who does not welcome foreigners? I am glad he is banned, banned from Australia too and hopefully the rest of the world until that country starts to act like an adult rather than a petulant child.

    To be honest, I don't know what this whole "doesn't welcome foreigners" rhetoric is all about. Even under PM Prayuth, all you ever hear about is "welcoming" more foreign tourists to this country and as we all know, the 24-26m foreigners that supposedly enter per year are not individual tourists, but entries made. The number of unique visitors may actually be 8m foreign tourists per year and the whole reason for short term visas is so visa runs are necessary to prop up the visitor numbers. Sure, attempts have been made to stop all the visa running on visa exemptions, but that's because the country wants to look serious about not having people abuse the visa exemption, perhaps in preparation for the AEC. It doesn't mean foreigners are no longer welcome. Quite the contrary. So obsessed is Thailand with tourism and numbers, every foreigner in Thailand is considered a tourist, even permanent residents. As long as they make an entry into Thailand they are counted as a new tourist. Only once someone becomes a Thai citizen do they cease being a tourist.

    boring

  2. Could be giardia but a stool sample would be needed to confirm. It seems you have taken only Norfloxacin which is not the treatment for giardia.

    Flagyl (metronidazole) is the only treatment that would work.

    Best to see a doc to prescribe the correct dosage and duration of treatment which may require repeated doses or an extensive period.

    Charcoal will help with absorption of the toxins in the intestine and is always useful.

    Norfloxacin is a very potent antibiotic and would have destroyed much of the normal intestinal bacteria so probiotics as well as foods such as natural yogurt will be useful to re-establish those; the more normal and balanced the intestinal bacteria is, the better the resistance to other infections.

    Flagyl with alcohol results in quite severe reactions and should be avoided.

    ​Why? Flagyl with other pain killers are ok, I may be wrong FBN. Used for the right purpose, they are fine.----FBN don't frightened people, We need to make people happy when they die!smile.png Stop your baloney!ermm.gif

  3. Well; clearly not if you are a teacher living in Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, or a drug dealer in Klong Toey.Thais may be having some problems with Martial Law and the 'Security State' here; but farangs? I think not. So where else? Is there anywhere else you would propose? Free from threats of starvation, militarised police, war and drug wars, suffocating religious threats, overpopulation, drought etc.?

  4. Fair enough. If you want discount as a local show your residency.

    What's that got to do with anything? Most of us pay more taxes than the locals and get treated like tourists who pay no tax. Tax payers contribute to park maintenance through their taxes, so we have already payed our dues. Anyone who works here ho pays tax (can show wp/teacher licence, etc), should get the local rate. That's how it works at Khao Yai and that should be the standard. Anywhere else is a rip off.

    Odd man. We now proclaim master "Culicine"----you no longer have to pay 2.00 US dollars entering our parks---You are Magical!-----You arenow thai and have no more claims as you pay the 10.00 Thai tax!--------------------Culicine--Magic Man from Afar!

    IDIOT!

  5. Canary, you are a fool and a liar. You are copying and pasting an article from years ago. I know, i read that article before i move here years ago. There is only 1 night market here (not many like the article says).

    Nobleman----be polite. Buriram has and will be for sometime a very boring town... Good for them.

    Udon Thani---freaking rock's. Great places--and superb Hotels with 4 star accommodations. Not to say you're right, I have been there and done that.

    1,500.00 baht a night in Udan Thani---(350)---life is better than BKK or PTTY------The food is great---the woman are 20 times better!

    Accommodations----------------A+----even for bums who spend 300 baht a night!---I like a pool and free breakfast and ------I like life!---------towels and shuttle sevice.

    I have to say for all those cheap Charlies, get a nice room with a pool and free breakfast, free shuttle to airport and in the center of everything!----in the long run----you saved 5 dollars!--------Stupid!

  6. Burirum,NO.Udonthani now that is A happening city.Plenty of farangs,plenty of things to do.You won't be sorry you picked Udon.Go to udonmap

    Just wondered why Burriram is so boring?

    I have been there many times---I cannot wait to leave-----it's &lt;deleted&gt; a boring town!

    All the places hate me as a Falang, I am not a bad guy---eat, spend money, just go away! feeling!

  7. I am the one who wrote the post he is talking about.

    I would like all of you to go

    Section 4 (6)

    And tell me what that means.

    I called up the immigration and asked them about a permit for this. She said, if you don't have a sign and you are small no need to get a work permit.

    I told her I was worried my neighbour would report me. She laughed and said they had better things to do. She said immigration would not come.

    People should really read the national education act. Home tutor comes under section 15 (3)

    And 18 (3) it is also protected by the king in the old constitution. 49,51,52.

    Which is what section 4 (6) is referring to. Some people talk about taking money. But if you read the act. We are entitled to. The thing that you must do is pay tax. I went out to the tax office on changwatana. They fixed it up for me. I pay a couple of thousand every 6 months. Everybody is happy.

    I don't know why nobody understands that section 4. Even the Thai don't seem to know it's there. Education in the home has its own laws. Separate from business and some other laws.

    " I called up the immigration and asked them about a permit for this. She said, if you don't have a sign and you are small no need to get a work permit."

    I always thought the Immigration issues visas, checks foreigners and anything regarding overstay,etc....

    The Immigration is not the right address to ask such a question. What "her", in this case the Immigration officer you phoned said is irrelevant, because the right place to ask such a question would be the Department of labor.

    If you have an income, which you now have, you must have green light doing so. I don't buy your story with the tax office and the "couple of thousand baht".

    Who's doing the calculation how much tax you're paying? The tax office, based on what you're telling them? C' Mon.........

    BTW, good luck with your neighbor. facepalm.gif

    I'm not a #### liar. I went to the tax department. I paid tax on my home tutor money. I have the receipt. Call up the labour department. Education as a separate law to other occupations. It is protected. You cannot stop one human from giving knowledge to another human. Go and read the law.

  8. Sometimes it works, but not with young peeps, I am 60 my Thai wife is 54 we really love each other and we laugh a lot

    Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

    Are you now with no property?

    You are only 60.

    FedFish-----get some property back!

    Your money is far gone!

    It is tax deductible. In the Cayman Islands.

  9. Why did u decide to rent a condo in Samut Prakan ?

    Far as i know its an depressing and boring location especially for a foreigner.

    Samut Prakan is the most exciting new places to live. I met many Farangs .

    The restaurants abound with Thai, French, and Utilitarian garbage as Russians cook!

    They are building a Big C----------------------Thus a Tesco will be close by.

    This is the new "Udon Thani"------fresh and fun!smile.png

  10. Burirum,NO.Udonthani now that is A happening city.Plenty of farangs,plenty of things to do.You won't be sorry you picked Udon.Go to udonmap

    Thanks, Thrilled.

    Just to say I just had a great time i Udon Thani---(Maybe tis a place to live thought!)

    It is everything you could love! It is fun, It has great food, you can live here and be super happy!

    Check out Udon Map---outdated as it is, you can fill in the blanks if your single!

  11. I bought a mac air from the online store. it was pretty quick and no extra fees/taxes.

    I also went threw the app on line store http://store.apple.com/th-en?afid=p238%7Csd6pkNCWx-dc_mtid_18707vxu38484_pcrid_52239988156_&cid=aos-th-kwg-brand and purchased a 21.5 i mac and other goodies. Nobody could match their price, saved 5000 baht. Placed an online order and it was here in 6 days. Shipped DHL and NO duty.

    Amazing!--------well done.

    Why anyone would spend 50 percent more on a computer chip amazes me!

    But there you go.

    There is no difference from a chip used in a 230.00$ computer than some Apple cP with the same that costs 730.00$

    Silly waste ---But my buddy at HP say's all his personal like Apple. Go figure!

    You are aware of Bangkok traffic? In almost all cases getting a local taxi or your own driving would get you to medical facilities faster that waiting for an ambulance to arrive, even if they could even find your address without issues.

    If not time sensitive you can call for ambulance service from hospital of your choice - but have never heard of any panic button systems.

    Yes indeed and that is what scares me in particular as per this issue (eg heart attack).

    So I was hoping that maybe if one pays enough $s to "be a member" that a chopper might be sent.

    OK I do realize I am probably maybe dreaming...

    Just grab the next taxi, tuk-tuk, samlor, moto-taxi or bus and give the driver B1000, he will get you there, maybe even in time.

    So true! If a Tuk-Tuk driver or Moto-Taxi can get you to the hospital quickly do it. The most important thing with a stroke is to get help as soon as possible! Waiting for an Ambulance would be useless. You need friends around you, when you feel a stroke coming, call a friend! If you can't speak Thai, speaking English is like sounding like Arabic when a Stroke is on you,...You cannot even write a word.

    Getting a nurse would be smart!-----if your thai wife doesn't mind, get a trainee., Extra money for her and training points. @$ hour nurses run around 15,0000--45,0000 in Central Bangkok with 5 hour weeks. This does not include housing and expenses. Assuming this would be fair, these are legal nurses. Much cheaper for un-registered nurses.

  13. I had to call an ambulance from Bumrungrad a few years ago

    I lived about 15 min walk from Bumrungrad in Soi 13

    The ambulance took about 30 minutes to arrive with a doctor and two medics

    She administered morphine to move me

    The cost of the ambulance was only around 2000 baht.

    I was already registered with Bumrungrad and had their card in my wallet with my hospital number on it.. I assume that helped speed things up.

    You had a "Bumrrungrad" card?

    That would mean you were a previous patient. How would they get you to the hospital faster? Just saying, I went there for a DNA test. It's a stroke or a death emergency. Triage would be in effect. A matter of life and death.

    Very wise to have health insurance no matter how small. They want to know they will be reimbursed. AND-carry it with you because they will go through your belongings, not to steal but in Thailand, if you have an overstay they will not help you!

    Keep all paperwork with insurance, including passport with recent visa, Name and numbers of who to call (IN THAI & ENGLISH etc.,) Copies, made for .50 cents to 5.00 US. Its like a small Ca. license with your info!

    It saved my friends life and could you also!
