  4. General Immigration Visa Requirements

  5. True Move Add Value Codes

  6. DTAC Add Value Codes

  7. Documents Required for 90 Day Reporting

  8. Chicken Tikka & Cheap Spirits

Source for Cheaper Medication click here. Note if you are already using generics made in Thailand there will be no savings, if using imported drugs from Big Pharma, you will need the chemical name, not the Brand name. For example the brand Crestor, made by Astral Zenica (yes I know I spelled it wrong), is actually rosuvastatin, so ask Medisafe for this not Crestor.

Tara Physical Therapy Treatment Centre

Chulalongkorn Eye Centre Link

Best way is go to either A&E and get in that way, or go to Sor Tor building no 142 on this map on right of gate 8 and inquire to get appointment there. Eye Centre is on the 13 and 14 floor there. Note if you contact them through the web page they are very slow to respond!
