Yesterday someone said he had paid 75.000 baht after being bitten by a dog at the Bangkok hospital. Because I walk quite a lot myself and often encounter dogs, it can happen that I get bitten.
Does anyone know an affordable address if this ever happened to me. (Pattaya area).
Reader submission: Thailand where is that? (the sequel)
In February of this year I wrote a story in 10 daily parts about how I ended up in Thailand, what I went through, how I got into a steady relationship and how I actually protect myself.
With Sabena to Bangkok
Sorry, the title is a bit misleading, because flying with Sabena to Bangkok will no longer work. The once Belgian pride no longer exists.
Thailand ranks third in the top three countries (Asia-Pacific region) with the highest household debt. The debt-to-GDP ratio in Thailand was 71,2 percent. In Australia this is 123 percent and in South Korea 91,6 percent.
'A lot of sex good for men's heart and blood vessels'

Reader's submission: Registered letter parcel from Thailand delivered as a regular letter
A few days ago, a package of letters from Thailand arrived in our mailbox. That parcel was sent by registered mail from Udon Thani. The shipment contained valuable documents for us. Thai ID card and debit card of my Thai wife, bank book of the Bangkok Bank, etc. We found it strange that we (the recipients) did not have to sign for receipt and that we did not have to identify ourselves, but that the shipment was sent as an ordinary letter dropped in our mailbox.

I am completely deregistered 67 years old and have been living in Thailand for 2 years. I have kept my Rabobank account to pay for my mailbox and to be able to use a debit card when I am in the Netherlands. My question, I received a letter from Rabobank last week regarding the determination of tax residency (is for the tax authorities) which is of course Thailand. Last question on the form is what my tax ID number is.
My wife and I are leaving for Thailand for 2 weeks in 3 weeks to visit the more famous cities and islands there. All very nice and well, but I myself stopped smoking 4 months ago via the E-cigarette and I am still "phasing out" with it. Now that I'm doing very well after 5x trying to stop and I'm really holding up this time, I would like to take my e-cigarette with me to Thailand.
A copper marriage to Thailand
When I landed at the old Don Muang airport in December 2005, I didn't know what to expect. That was a good thing, otherwise I might have stayed in the old homeland. Now I'm celebrating my copper marriage to Thailand. It's a relationship with trial and error, where in many cases you just have to shrug your shoulders. It is what it is.
KLM and Air France in Bangkok
In my story about KLM in Bangkok I already mentioned the merger of KLM and Air France. Some reactions went into this by saying that KLM had merged into Air France or that it was a merger in which both companies would continue to operate independently. Another could tell exactly how the relationship of authority and how the division of shares was arranged.
We have a very sweet daughter-in-law to be, but she lives almost on the other side of the world in Chiang Rai (Thailand). Our son (24) was on holiday in Thailand for a month in 2016 and there was more than just a holiday romance. The couple really love each other and want to continue together.
During the busy summer period, Schiphol will separate passenger flows into travelers with a lot or little hand luggage. Airline passengers who have little or no hand luggage with them can go through the security checks more quickly.

Renovation of the Bali Hai harbour
Perhaps some have noticed that it is becoming much busier with (speed) boat owners at Pattaya Beach. Some form of civil disobedience after being driven from this coast?
