If I remember correctly, you have to show the Red Book as well as your Tabien Baan (house registration / blue book) during your yearly pilgrimage to CW to renew the re-entry permit (visa and endorsement).
As a tenant, I don’t have a Tabian Baan and I believe I didn’t have to show it when I went to CW for the re-entry permit and endorsement.

I don’t think a PR ever has to be renewed (thus the “P” in PR). As for the reentry permit and endorsement, I believe they only wanted to see the Red Book which in my case is still valid for 5 years.
However, can my landlord force changes to the Red Book (which, unlike the Blue Tabian Baan which is his, he doesn’t have access to)? Could I still keep my PR valid for 5 years or would they find out that I don’t have a residence anymore (and what would happen in that case)?

What happens to PR if house book registration and/or red book registration are canceled?
I’m thinking about leaving Thailand (for some years at least). I’m currently registered under my landlord’s condo (house book/blue tabian baan and police red book). Once I terminate my lease agreement and leave Thailand, I would also lose these registrations.
What would this mean for my PR?
— Do they want to see the red police book every year I ask for the re-entry permit and endorsement? I know my landlord can remove me from his house book (blue tabian baan) but can he also force changes to my red police book?
— Would there be a repercussions if I have a PR but am not registered in Thailand anywhere anymore?
— is there any way to keep my PR without having to rent a condo or convincing someone to have me on their house book even though I’m actually not living there?

Ok, they do not approve? So, what? What can they do it a person by up a lot of tickets, and after sell them cheaper?
I’m not sure why someone would want to buy tickets to sell them cheaper. A lot of football clubs have clauses in their sales contracts where the ticket buyer agrees to not resell them. Usually this targets those trying to make a profit by selling them for more on the black market. In such case they can cancel the ticket, sue for compensation, and block the buyer from future sales.

Never did need a separate syphilis test unless employer requires it. For work permit, only need doctor to sign off that you don't have tertiary syphilis, elephantiasias et .
Interesting. Only for my very first work permit medical certificate the hospital didn’t do any tests but just signed off the paper. That was back in 2008. Every time since then the hospital would always take blood and actually look at me. And this was independent from the employer — most of the times I walked into the hospital of my choice and asked for the work permit medical certificate and they would require the blood test etc.

The test is for the syphilis antibodies (or in some cases the bacterium itself), not a specific stage.
22 hours ago, Sheryl said:There is no test that confirms tertiary stage syphilis per se.
There are blood tests that can confirm or rule out a current syphilis infection.
Thanks. That means that someone who gets tested every year as part of his work permit medical certificate doesn’t necessarily need a separate syphilis test anymore as part of his regular annual/half-year health checkup, right?
(Btw, a blood test has always been included in my work perm medical certificate process for the last 10 years or so, regardless of the employer and the hospital. Police hospital, BNH, St. Louis, Sukhumvit hospital)

How so? What offense did he commit for which he would have to be arrested and deported?

For the Thai Work Permit a medical certificate is required which states that the applicant doesn't have 3rd stage syphilis (among other things).
Is the blood test for that specifically testing for 3rd stage syphilis? Or is testing for syphilis in general? (i.e., is a syphilis test able to distinguish between 1st 2nd and 3rd stage of the infection?)
Or in other word: Does someone who tested negative for the work permit not have syphilis? Or does he only not have 3rd stage syphilis?

Can anyone recommend a good pain doctor to prescribe and monitor low dose 5-10mg to start) Amitriptyline?
I assume it’s not available OTC here right?

2 or so times a weekThat’s what most people in prostatitis groups seem to suggest as well, regardless of age.
Just now, Pilotman said:Not the only answer of course, but one of them. Looking at my age group, many seem to just give up and think its normal to not have any sexual activity at all,
I used to be sexually active until this happened. In fact, it was all the sex that caused this is in the first place, see the initial infection.
Since then, I have become less sexually active, and only do so with a condom. I guess the fact that it started with an infection and symptoms persisted scares me off.-

My suggested solution. Take lots of ED pills and get laid, a lot. Seems to work for many, allegedly.
Two interesting points here:
(1) Some prostatitis patients report improvement when using low dose Cialis (but not Viagra).
(2) For many prostatitis patients, their condition started from excessive Masturbation or sex, so right amount of it is being subject of frequent debate among these patients. Most seem to agree that it should be regularly but not daily, as it it helps to make the prostate release while not overworking it.
For me, ED is only a minor issue, but I sometimes see my urinary symptoms flare up after Masturbation/sex. -

what was the bacteria that turned your life to hell ?
I don’t know. I threw antibiotics at it when the first symptoms appeared. Call it “The Bangkok Protocol”. Worked for years. Not this time. Symptoms persisted and got worse, but tests come back clean.

i'd love to try out this therapy, not on myself but on anti friends
I think you should try prostatitis on them. Having constant pain down there and having to run to the bathroom every 20 minutes is something I don’t even wish my worst enemies.

are you talking about applying electric shock therapy to your testicles ?
Shaft and perineum/prostate mainly.

Hello. I never had this treatment. But Im familiar with it. I get prostatitis now and then. Especially from stress if I eat the wrong type of food. And I get some urination frequency at times. I have had an enlarged prostate since I was age 40. It is twice the size as normal. Im 65 now. I have been under the care of a urologist in America and now here in Bangkok.
I’m below 40 and have this condition since I had an STI 1.5 years ago. I’ve been to dozens of doctors and no one was able to find a cause. The closest I could get was one urologist finding some scarring on the prostate when he performed the DRE. Other than that, DRE, ultrasound and PSA all normal, hundreds of cultures and PCR tests (and even MicrogenDX) to rule out an infection all negative.
QuoteThe shockwave treatment is basically used for ED not prostatitis. And from what I have read it is not American FDA approved and the results if any are short term.
I am aware that it’s not FDA approved and that it’s originally being used for ED. As I mentioned above, there are research papers that found it may be useful for prostatitis as well. Dr Shoskes from
the Cleveland Clinic wrote about it for ED use on their website and also now suggested it in a Prostatitis forum for use for prostatitis patients. That in combination with the fact that it’s non-invasive and shouldn’t do much harm makes me think to give it a try.
QuoteI hope you are under the care of a good urologist?
The problem with prostatitis is that it’s a basket case diagnosis. It’s what doctors tell you after they can’t find a cause. Even in well advanced western countries, patients are largely on their own, or they get thrown antibiotic after antibiotic. Now add to that that we are living in a developing country. It took me months to even find a doctor who would perform
a prostate massage to test my prostate secretions for an infection, and even he could only suggest hot Sitz-baths and saw palmetto; I doubt he ever heard of CPPS and internal trigger point massage. In western countries, some docs at least now know that it requires a multimodal approach and likely physiotherapy (internal and external).
PS: Here are the research papers. Dr Shoskes himself posted it in a forum for prostatitis patients. Interestingly there seems be another member based in Bangkok who went down this route in 2018. Unfortunately I cannot contact him as the forum doesn’t allow private messaging. It didn’t seem to work for him anyway.

I’m suffering a mild case of prostatitis/CPPS, probably triggered by an infection 1.5 years ago. Nocturia and frequency mainly, and some mild ED.
Recently there have been research papers suggesting that external shockwave therapy could be helpful with this condition. Apparently, it’s also now the first line treatment for ED. Dr Shoskes from the Cleveland Clinic who is an expert with prostatitis/CPPS wrote about this treatment for ED on their website.
It seems that several hospitals and clinics are offering this as an ED treatment. Samitivej is incredibly expensive (reduced price of 9k per session whereas you need around 6-12 sessions over 6-12 weeks). Cheaper are those small “male sexuality” clinics.
Does anyone have experience with those clinics or the procedure itself? Since the procedure is non-invasive and seems to be fairly straightforward, I thought there shouldn’t go much wrong by using one of those small clinics. But I wanted to hear other peoples’ opinion here. -

I am 34 and I've been waking up 3-5 times a night in last 2 months. I got tested by an urologist few times for and undergone treatments. Finally, it came down to bacterial infection of prostate and 1 month of antibiotics.
See a doctor. Could be anything
Out of curiosity: how did they test you for bacterial infection of the prostate? What bacteria was identified and how was it treated?

Can anyone recommend a pelvic floor physiotherapy in Bangkok? Or does it not exist here? Ideally someone that can do internal trigger point massage, but I doubt that even exists in Thailand. If that’s not possible, then at least someone who can do external work, or even a regular PT who might be willing to learn.

This may be a stupid question, but I don’t know whether to visit a dermatologist or urologist in case of a pimple or wart on my penis. Any recommendations?
It looked like a normal pimple but wouldn’t go away. It was painless until I started to squeeze it a bit (not so much that it would pop though) and is not a bit red and bigger than before.

There are 2 requirements: (1) the drug (generic name) must be approved for use in Thailand and (2) The doctor would have to have and FDA import license. Possible to get but not something someone would bother with unless running a clinic dispensing meds.
Tell me the name of the drug and I'll let you know if it is approved for use in Thailand
Thanks, I sent you a message.

Does Thai law allow doctors to import meds that are currently only available in other countries? I need a certain antibiotic that is currently only available in France and I cannot travel there for obvious reasons.

The police wanted to see the Tabian Baan. In fact, my previous landlord attended in person when I did the first Red Book and my current/new landlord attended in person when I moved to his condo. Thus I’m wondering whether a landlord could, for example, inform the police about me having moved out. They still wouldn’t have physical access to my Red Book but not sure whether the CW IB would find it in their system at some point.
Maybe someone knows.
