I have lived in Udon Thani now for over 10 years, and for the most part I have seen little to no repair of secondary roads or small neighborhood roads. With this years heavy rainy season the roads are a mess with dangerous cracks and potholes. It would seem to me that the Dept. of Transportation wou...

I have bi-monthly blood checks at AEK. Not cheap. It's the HDL and LDL cholesterol test that is expensive. Would be interested if this was included in the cheaper schemes previously mentioned. I'm fairly certain that the HDL and LDL is included in this although they seem to say only Cholesterol on ...

Semper, the wife used Krungsri Bank for her auto loan and every month a 7% VAT is added to the repayment to the tune of 897 Baht. Thanks TS! Do you know if the bank paid the dealership a lump sum price which already included a 7% VAT tax? That's really what I need to know. If that is common practic...

The Army Hospital does have excellent check up packages , but keep in mind you have to wait two weeks for the results. newtovillagelife, I have had my annual check-up at the Army Hospital for the past 8 years. I am in by 7:30 AM and finished by 9:00 AM depending on how many additional tests I add. ...

Check the whistleblowers bank accounts ( all of them )

Hopefully, this is the President's "October surprise" that trumps anything that the Democrats will throw at him this month. That's why they call him Mr. Trump!

My stepson is negotiating to buy an Isuzu truck and has been quoted a price of 974,000 Baht which includes the 7% VAT tax. They ask for 20% down and balance over 84 months at 2.69% interest with financing at the dealership. They enter those figures into an auto loan calculator app to determine the m...

What a bod, and the girl can definitely strut her stuff. First time I've seen a Thai women that didn't look like an orangutan when walking in heels.

Thanks for the info Patrick .. Dao n I did go to the Army hospital first but it was late on Friday morning and they said come back Monday , one nusre suggested going to another hospital to get checked then from that check go back to them if i required surgery.
