    Regarding Hydrochlorothyozide, a friend who is a retired physician warned me that it tends to deplete potassium in the body and that I should either take a supplement or take care to eat foods high in potassium such as bananas, sweet potato, watermelon and spinach.

    Thanks Dave. Funny enough my specialist said that next time I have a blood test (at Lifecare, not the hospital) get them to check my Potassium.

  2. Thanks for your reply Its given me a lot to think about. I live in Pattaya and go to Bangkok Pattaya hospital. At least my specialist lets me buy my drugs from Fascino instead of the hospitals pharmacy.

  3. Can you tell me which of the following drugs are made locally and their names. If I am going to Bangkok I might as well try to buy all the generic versions.

     

    Vytorin

    Cardura XL

    Xarelto

    Cordarone

    Zanadip

     

    Also the Pharmacy Rung Rote in Soi On Nut, is it before Big C.

     

    Thanks

  4. Went to Fascino. They only have Diovan. Chonburi is a bit far on my scooter so I'll probably go to Bangkok next week. I'll check on the internet for other locally produced drugs that I need before I go.

  5. At the moment one of the drugs I take is Diovan (160mg). Due to swollen ankles my specialist wants me to take Co-Diovan (160/12.5) instead.

    What's the most cost effective way of doing this. Taking Co-Diovan or keep taking Diovan and taking the Hydrochlorothaizide separately. I already spend 10,000 Baht a month on drugs so I'm just trying to keep the cost down. I don't buy from the hospital but from Fascino.

  6. Earlier I rode down Soi Bukaew and a little bit later Soi 6. Soi Bukaew was up and running. Bars open (this was about 4pm) girls and others waving at you etc. A few minutes later Soi 6. I've seen more life on Soi 6 at midday. Some bars shut and the bars that were open although they had plenty of girls the lights were out and very few punters were to be seen.

     

    I can just imagine a conversation in a few weeks. Tom "Lets go down to Soi 6 this afternoon". Dick " No its boring there in the afternoon". Harry ' There is a new place just opened round the corner lets go there instead".

  7. I am going to buy a motorbike (OK scooter) for my wife. I have always bought new and let the shop handle the paperwork (with the exception of certificate of residence). What do I need for my wife to buy a secondhand  bike and how do I go about it.

    You can deliberately make very crispy toast (Melba toast) by grilling the sliced bread then slitting it across its thickness and then grilling the now visible insides. Very nice, very posh. Particularly good with pates or fish roe.

     

    But here I suspect that they just used stale bread.

    I think toast was invented to use up stale bread.

    Your extending your permission to stay (not a Visa).

    If you rent, a copy of your landlords Tabien Baan and ID card, signed by the landlord are sufficient proof of address for Immigration.

    I don't rent as my wife owns the condo (she bought it from my ex wife, who filled in the tm30 years ago).  I don't know what a Tabien Baan is.

    Maybe many don't know how to use them.

     

     

    I was told many years ago to be very careful at roundabouts because the Thai way gives preference to traffic entering the roundabout and not traffic on the roundabout.

    It's moved to just the other side of Sukumvit, very close to the Highway 7 exit.

     

    Not actually visible in this street view photo which was taken before they moved, but it's the vacant shop between "Luxus" and the tourist information place.

    It now has parking which is a big improvement.

     

    A photo that shows it:

    Thanks for that. I will be driving down that bit of Sukumvit on Friday so it wont even be out of my way.

  13. Anybody know where the LG Service Centre has moved to. If its not in Pattaya anymore (which wouldn't surprise me) where could I order  a replacement tray for my fridge.
