  1. Contact MedConsult Clinic. They should be able to get it and they can ship or deliver
  2. I seldom post on this forum, because my comments seem to get moderated out, but the law did change in 2020, but in the past few months, Bangkok immigration at CW started synchronizing TM 30s with 90 day reports. They will not accept your 90 day report, if the most recent TM30 is not at the address you put on your 90 day report application, so they are disregarding the law, but you have no choice.
  3. I filed my 90 day report online (Bangkok CW) a week ago, still "pending." How long should I wait before using agent; its due this week. I used Bumrungrad International Business Centre if online doesn't work; I don't want to attend CW.
  4. Contact MedConsult Clinic in Bangkok, they may be able to send the medication to you in CM.
  5. Bangkok immigration now requires new TM30 if you have stayed at a hotel elsewhere in Thailand. They have cross referenced the TM30 and the 90 day reporting computer systems. Your 90 day report will be refused otherwise. I did mine in person recently after moving to another room (same building and landlord). When I submitted my TM30 online, I received an automatically generated reply telling me to update the TM30. The landlord submitted it online, and i then was able to complete my 90 day report. They are ignoring the law, they don’t care.
  6. I do have a background about health insurance. I worked in a hospital office dealing with insurance for many years in United States. If you were buying individual health insurance, not in a group, particularly from Thailand. Any insurance they will give you is likely to be useless. They won’t cover your pre-existing conditions, and, as was mentioned, diabetes does micro vascular damage that can affect your heart, so they probably wouldn’t cover a heart attack or stroke that you might have. If you can get insurance at all, the amount you will likely receive with a serious illness with hospitalization will only be a little more than your annual premium, and then they will probably cancel you, exclude more pre-existing conditions, or raise the rates. I comment about this extensively in other groups, although not on Aseannow because it’s so difficult to see the tracking. Good luck, anyway.
  7. The amount is very small. I pay ฿3200/month for Virgin Active. But the short 1:30 time limit would annoy me even foe the thai price. It doesn’t bother me so much that they would charge me more as a foreigner, but that often dual price is for whites. Other skin color thai price, maybe not here cause you have to register. Ko Phi Phi ferry ฿200 for locals. Supposed to be ฿450 for others, but applied to white foreigners only
  8. Au bon Pain in the office building lobby Emquarter. Outlets blocked though. True Coffee 3fl Emquartier my favorite as noted. Pastries always in stock as they bake em there, other places they run out. Limited space during renovation. Always looking for more good places too. Usually well revviwed places either no snacks, no seating, too loud, or discouraged from staying long.
  9. When I had a business in Florida in the United States, I got a little 1500 watt heater from AliExpress. The water was barely warming up to wash your hands in Florida, Bangkok and in the South it should be fine.
  10. Primary purpose is to pass on mobile number to online gambling place to spam you
  11. I managed to open a tmobile account by phone, they charged $50 and had to send to me US address; I had it sent over here. Be aware, some banks, especially for new accounts or credit card applications, won't accept Skype, Google Voice, or other VOIP services. They use a third party verification service to see that you have a real postpaid US cell account that is being used in the area where it is billed to. (The Tmobile I got was prepaid so turned out to be useless for my purpose)
  12. I don’t see how this is possible. Given the computer crimes act, it is illegal to complain.
  13. When i applied to do 90 day report online, ut failed, but i started to get gambling spam texts, also got them when covid first started and we had to register to go in places.
  14. It is illegal to give anything but a perfect review
  15. I have spent a lot of time researching this issue. I have tried virtually every virtual US phone number option. If you simply need to receive a text, any of them will work. The problem is, especially to start service or open a credit card or bank account, many American companies use a third-party service. It requires you to have an American cell phone plan, postpaid only, with Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile. It needs to be billed to your US address, and you need to be making calls recently in that area. I tried a two mobile prepaid, not allowed. My friend in New York has a US cell phone on my account. I called Verizon and said I will be using that from now please connect it to my address of record in Florida. They did that. It is still not accepted by capital One Bank and others. When I visit US this year, I will reactivate my Verizon cell phone, get the accounts I need, and then discontinue it again. They not only want to protect themselves against fraud, they don’t want you living overseas.
