Never too late until you stop trying

@Barry *******

I have known people who have had this treatment in the USA and they also had bad reactions. You take a risk anytime you jab needles into the CNS (Central Nervous System). The pain you felt from the injections would seem to indicate you was injecting directly into the nerves.

The only symptoms I have heard of, 3rd hand, is more, long lasting, pain. But, to be fair, I wouldn't know of the good results of this treatment because people only talk about medical treatments if they go wrong.

I hope he didn't confuse what he injected you with. You did say he looked, out-of-sorts.

@Sootstars ****

Just to be crystal clear. I mean if they "require" more money. I would never offer.

May be better if you just pay if it isn't too much. These Civil Servants don't get paid very much. Not by Western standards.

If it is too much, walk out and reapply at another entry point, if you can.

Also, it could be a breakdown in communication. Maybe your paperwork isn't in perfect order and they were going to do you a favor by forcing it through the red-tape or looking the other way. Don't underestimate "Greasing the Wheels."

I didn't but if I had to guess some of the meaner members of this forum thought it was a totally avoidable problem.

Everybody gets that for every question. Don't take it personally.

Passport?

@Stephen ******

Could be. But beware "Immigration Discretion"

@John *********

You know this from experience?

Beware "Discretion" can be used to break/bend their own policies. This is Thailand. Written rules are not viewed in the same way as in the West.

@Steve ******

Depends what Immigration Officer he gets.

It will fall under "discretion" and usually Immigration discretion does not favor the foreigner.
