Thanks again. If the patent's expired, that explains a lot. They told me at Siam Pharmacy there's a substitute coming out soon called Duloz (I believe) made by a local manufacturer, so hopefully that will be cheaper.

Thank you, Sheryl. Now that you're reminding me, I rember contacting Medtide at some point, so maybe I'll reach out to them again. You wouldn't happen to know why Eli Lilly are taking it off the market in Thailand?

I've been buying Cymbalta at Siam Pharmacy for the last few years, and suddently I'm being told they've "discontinued" this drug. Although they didn't word it that way, I'm assuming this means the Thai importer of this drug has stopped importing it for some reason. So I called the importer (Zuellig Pharma Thailand) but am having a hard time getting to talk to someone who knows anything about it. I feel like I'm basically being stonewalled. I therefore reached out to the US manufacturer, Eli Lilly, but I'm getting no response there either. Interestingly, running a search for Cymbalta on Eli Lilly's website produces exactly ZERO hits. Does anyone know what's going on with this? I've managed to acquire a batch from Samitivej hospital for now (at about double the cost), but I'd like to find a long term solution.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'll be depositing the required 400k well ahead of time.

Hi folks, I'm planning a trip right before my current stamp expires. Can I just get a re-entry permit and then do an extension when returning (five days before my stamp expires) to Thailand? Or do I have to apply for a new visa while abroad? I'd appreciate any input. Nayet

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I actually started having second thoughts about the whole thing the same day I went to the hospital. I no longer think it's SIBO, and I haven't touched the rifaximin yet.

Thanks, it's for suspected SIBO, and I actually managed to get some rifaximin at Samitivej hospital after talking to one of their gastroenterologists.

Any updates from anyone? I'm currently trying to find a vendor but having little luck. I know you can order online, but I don't like the payment options.

Thank you, FK! One thing I don't understand is where I'm supposed to get the TM30 slip from, since it was submitted online, where you don't get any kind of confirmation to print?

I know the requirements for the one year extension, but I can't find a list of items to submit for a 60 day extension. I'm guessing the same things you need for a the year extension minus the 400 000 Baht, but I wanted to see if anyone knows specifically. I'm doing the extension in Samut Prakan.

Thanks, I'm on the SE visa now. According to the information provided by DrJack54, I will hopefully be able to make a 1-year extension based on monthly income after that.

Sorry for my late response. I'm Swedish. I remember getting an income letter from my embassy (for a different purpose) a couple of years ago, but I'm not sure that's going to help now. Also, because the money is not from any kind of pension fund (and the amont varies), won't I basically incriminate myself as someone working without a work permit? I'd be interested to know if anyone has had problems getting multiple consecutive Single Entry visas, as this seems to be my only recourse for the time being.

Sorry, I'm not very good at reading. My income, for the most part, is above 40k per month, but it varies. I wonder if that will pose a problem?

My health insurance is about 35k Baht a year, quite a bit less than 400k.

That little detail (which of course there is no mention of on the form. It only says ชื่อ / Name) made all the difference. Turns out my first attempt WAS successful.
