In BKK I would start with IQ Lab.
There are other, cheaper, foreign options if you have a lot to do.

I lived in Phnom Penh for 6 years and never heard about fake name brand booze. (Unlike India where it's a huge problem.)
The difference is that there are no taxes applied at any point in it's journey to market, and the retailers sell at extremely low profit margins. One of my clients was a large beer manufacturer and when we would go out into the countryside to visit retailers the usual margin on a 24 bottle box of beer was 1000 riel. (25 cents US) This is pretty standard for all retailers there. (A Khmer friend of mine worked as an accountant for a Chinese electronics company. Average profit on a "ghetto blaster" type stereo - 2000 riels, or 50 cents US.)
Cambodian are incredibly adept at getting stuff into the market cheaply and quickly using local channels. In the 90s we would regularly get the new Beaujolais before it was even legally available in France, and at a cheaper price. (No, they were not making fake Beaujolais.)
A lot of the hard booze has spent time sitting in containers on the dock in Singapore.
I know of at least one very famous bar in BKK getting cheap designer booze through Cambodia back in the day.

See a doctor. Asking for medical advice online is a complete waste of time.
great idea ....then he will get 1/2 kilo of pills including antibiotics and antacids....guaranteed to give him the squitters....
Stomach upset and Hershy squirts are a fact of life here ..even the Thais get it...lots of remedies in liquid and powder form out there some work even...they say you should avoid dairy product with the squitters.
Of course if OTC remedies do not work within a short time you should see a doc and he or she will be more than happy to insert 1/2 metre 'scope into your land of darkness to check for Colitis or other horrid things
<deleted>? I've been going to <good> Thai doctors for 20+ years and have never been given "1/2 kilo of pills". Having a sore stomach in the morning is not normal and you have no clue whatsoever as to what is causing it.
If you have a persistent problem, see a doctor.

I have never seen them used. They impart a very distinct flavour that isn't Thai whatsoever. In southern Indian cooking you see them all the time.

It's just too heavy for the Thai palette IMO.
And the use of ghee would not be acceptable to the vast majority of Thai digestive systems.

I use a 10Bar housing for my Lumix GF1, mainly for
, but it is rated to 60 meters. They are pretty good value considering the build quality. -
Not too worried about the local price or the transformer, it's just that I have a really good one and it's worth the bother. (to me)
Re: kayaking. Depends on what is "near". I am just back from the north Andaman from 2 weeks of day paddles. In December I was in
, which is incredible. Need to have a folding boat to get to the good stuff in SEAsia. -

Printing Slides And Moisture ...
in Photography and the Arts
Then it's just about 80B for each scan (good for 8"x10" or a little bigger). Then prints are pretty reasonable as well.
The only variable is the shape the slides are in, whether they need retouching for scratches etc. You could always take the slides their main location and get some feedback from a tech person.
