I got a "mommy makeover" (nothing facial) at Yanhee International Hospital which specialises in plastics. I had an arm lift, breast reduction/lift and tummy tuck - the hospital is amazing - better than any I have been operated on in either the US or Australia with very attentive staff, cleanliness and the surgeons there are top notch. For me it was not for cosmetics but as a last ditch attempt to reduce back pain after losing a lot of weight and getting rid of excess skin. I wasn't worried about the scars or anything but I have to say they are barely noticable a year after. I'd highly recommend speaking to them and finding which surgeon there is best for the procedure you want.

Entering a country that is not your own is not a human right lol all countries have immigration policies. Consider that Thailand is currently having issues with Cambodia so it is only natural they tighten their border security and enforce the laws they have and even tighten the rules of entry.

Did mine through FBU Manilla but also have changed my SSA to email rather than snail mail

nor does it specify if the partner is Thai....which is a prerequisite of that type of visa.

yeah Biden had me strapped as his administration was woeful and the DEI hires kept making mistakes on my account. Trump got in and it was sorted within a month with back pay.

@Todd ********

I am definitely not sad. Trumps done amazing for me. I don't worry about the conversion rate because I keep enough in my account to wait it out and I am actually happy for the people in Thailand that their dollar and economy is gaining strength.

@Todd ********

Rich coming from a Canadian. Your politicans are far more woeful. Imagine blocking peoples banks accounts simply because they disagreed with their political moves.

We have three cruises booked at the moment - Seattle through Alaska then to Japan, next cruise through Japan and Korea and the last going from Hong Kong through China, Vietnam, Singapore then to Koh Samui and ending in Bangkok. Mega excited and will probably be able to answer your question after that cruise finishes on Nov 6th.

@Robin ******

it is, we absolutely love it here.

Firstly, figure out what sort of life you want as each area has different things to offer. If having a big western culture community around you is important - places like Hua Hin, Pattaya etc - for us, we wanted a quieter lifestyle away from the girlie bars and party places so we opted to move about an hour south of Hua Hin to Prachuap Khiri Khan in a little beach cottage just north of the bay in the fishing village and we love it here - the draw back is if we want to shop for western foods, clothing etc we have to go to Hua Hin not a big deal for us, others, maybe it would be - it wouldn't suit everyone but to us it is heavenly. My advice is to travel around, see the different places and figure out what is and isn't to your liking. We stayed in hua hin the first three months and got our retirement visa sorted and the plan was to drive around until we found our ideal spot - luck would have it, it was the first place we stopped at after Hua Hin lol
