Fly to Singapore by Scoot first thing in the morning, spend the day at jewel mall inside Changi airport and come back late evening. You can leave your backpack at one of the counters on every floor of the mall. The metro comes right inside the airport and you can buy a card for S$5 and add S$10 and travel outside the airport into the city for the day and come back.

Yes I have DTV for Thailand for 5 years but now am in Vietnam Ho Chi Minh. May be after Tet, Spring Festival, I will be back in Thailand. You do not need a suitcase to travel in Asia. 10Kg carry on is ideal, no need to go to the carousel or lose your luggage. It is with you on the plane. In 2 decades all the Chinese who emigrated to another country and returned to live in China will no longer be able to do border runs to Hong-Kong because H-K will have Chinese passports, will all end up flying to Singapore every 90 days.

Singapore airline budget airline Scoot only cost $SGD 250 for a return ticket with a carry on luggage not exceeding 10kg. For two hours you arrive at Changi airport and in the airport there is the huge Jewel mall. You can spend the whole day there and there are left luggage counters on every floor and all sorts of shops and eating and entertaining places and even a Yotel to sleep for a minimum of 4 hours. You can fly out first thing in the morning and come back by the evening flight and spend the day in Singapore. You can buy a metro card for $5 SGD and put $SGD 10 and travel out of the airport and come back in the evening. I use an agent to get my visa sorted before I even leave for Singapore and she got me the visa for the day I was coming back.

I organized it in six months plan and gave it to them and they put it on a letter head. You tell them!

@Benjamin ********

There was no DTV 5 years ago. It came about in June 2024 and I got mine in September 2024 and arrived in TLand in April 2025 and left in August 2025 and may come back at another time.

I got one but you need to email Nana dental or some other one and give them a treatment plan for several months for implant and when you arrive you can change your appointment dates because they may not be able to give you the same dates as on the letter.

@Todd ********

same same where you are. The right hand does not know what the left is doing.

that’s life. Rise n fall of different dynasties over the centuries…

Yes

Don’t worry too much! I learned it the hard way when private hospital Bangkok hospital took me to Police station with 3 insurance policies n one of them with direct billing agreement. For newcomers they only want the sheiks etc. In that league who do not need insurance. Government hospitals r inexpensive n lots of private specialists clinics charging around 1,000 baht per visit. If you cannot purchase insurance just start learning government hospital system n have a Thai to come with you at the beginning n you will be fine.
