Hello Everyone,

I hope someone knows, as I really have no idea!
I want to measure my eyes to find fitting contact lenses (that won't harm my eyes on the long run).
But... where to go?

A few years ago I had a proper fitting back in Germany and they took a lot of time to measure my eyes, test the lenses and then
measure again how good they fit on my eye. I left with the feeling having a good fitting lens and nothing to worry about.
I guess it would be the same procedure in America.

I tried to find such in Thailand but haven't been successful. Most opticians (like Top Charoen) didn't know what I am talking
about. Most people don't seem to worry about those things, but i do.

Anyone ever been to a proper fitting here? (similar to the fittings they have in Europe and America preferably, where you get all the data
you need for the contacts)
Where can I find it and how much is it (approx.)?
I highly appreciate any answer.

Hi There!

I hope someone can help me here, as I can not find any information about it in the Internet (how does the immigration expect us to know this?).
Anyways, I've been a student in Bangkok for 3 years now and I'll be graduating next semester. I'm German, 22 yrs.
What are the rules for my ED-Visa after graduation?

I will graduate in March 2010, but I have to renew my Visa in January 2010, therefore giving me another year, until Jan. 2011 (officially).
My friend just has/had problems with renewing his Visa, as he finished his bachelor last March and now studies master at another University a few months later - but didn't inform
the immigration about his graduation.

So what are the rules? Do I have to inform the Immigration at the day of my graduation or last class or something?
Are they gonna cancel my visa immediately?
If anyone knows any information about this online, I'd be really thankful for the link.

Another question at the side - can someone link me to a how-to-border-runs or living here on a tourist visa.
After Graduating (expecting my Visa will be cancelled on graduation) I still need some time to stay in Thailand to find work (or marry )
so I just hope living here on a tourist-visa going out of the country every 3 months is still possible? If yes, what visa do I need, where can I apply for it and how much
would that be? (links are appreciated but as i've never done a border run I really need detailed information for "beginners")

Thanks!
