NO PROBLEM.

You will be amazed at just what medications you can buy over the counter.

No questions, no prescriptions, no awkward questions.

I have MANY pre existing conditions over here and I can buy All my medications over the counter, but I usually get 4 months supply of everything from our local Hospital, because it's much cheaper.

I hope that puts your mind at ease.

I live here permanently and can't get ANY insurance at any price. I'm 76 but quite fit, apart from having numerous pre existing conditions.

Once you pass 70 the chances of getting insurance is about the same as you winning the lottery. The good news is that treatment in local Thai Hospitals is Very reasonable, it's only big private hospitals that are unbelievably expensive.

If you have enough money just self insure and pay as you go. Anything really serious, head home where it's free. It works for me.

All you need is a credit/debit card with a bit of credit left on it and you're good to go.,,😀🙏🙏😀

Anonymous participant 555 Thanks for your reply, I must give it a shot, I must admit I've never noticed anything about it on the ATM 🏧 screen.

Thanks again.

Anonymous participant 555 HOW do you use a phone app to withdraw money from the ATM machine.??

Very interested.

Absolutely correct..

The problem lies in that every immigration officer interprets that basic law DIFFERENTLY.

As people say Welcome to Thailand 😀😀😀

@Brian *****

a few years back I purchased a Dell Laptop in Thailand, obviously with a Thai keyboard. I had the same problem in that I couldn't find the '@' key.

I found it by pressing each key and looking what showed up on the screen. I hope that helps you.

@Marty ********

....Smart mouth.

I think we all know what it is called....

But people generally understand when someone calls it a retirement visa..... Because it's EASIER to say...

@Lloyd *******

. Depending on if you make your 90 day reopts early, it all goes out of sync,,,, but then they bring it back in line with your last report, which then ends on the day your extension is due.

This is Korat, other areas may have a different approach.!.!

No complaints about service at all.... Nice people to deal with at Korat Immigration.
