how many lean people are using Creatine ? imo it makes you retain fluids and the benifits end the minute you stop taking it ...vastly over rated along with highly processed whey ... i would be worried consuming cheap creatine from Thailand ..it could be anything .. rea food is the answer ...

Ignorant remark..

Fluid retention only happens in rare cases. You are right the benefit ends when you stop taking it.. but same goes for your whole foods.. the moment you stop taking them their benefits stop too. So that is actually a pretty dumb remark.

Again if you don't know something its better not to comment about it. The creatine is not manufactured in Thailand.

It helps me workout harder.. and that is a good thing.

And yes I agree with Rob, it is an ignorant remark.

During supplementation (in conjunction with weight training) there's an Increase in Ffm, power output, strength and recovery timE. Not to mention your creatine stores stay elevated for weeks as you only excrete 1-2g a day after supplementation ceases. It isn't like testosterone prop where the effects cease dramatically once you stop taking it (without a decent Post cycle therapy course). Creatine causes slight cell swelling, it's primary role it to replenish your energy stores to make you work that much harder.

I get my whey from

WWW.warriorsupplementsthailand.com

I got 2kg whey for 1850thb with free delivery. it's pretty tasty stuff and 27g protein per 34g serve.

Creatine is freaking awesome. One of the most widely scientifically studied and proven gym supplements. There's now research (in reputable scientific journals) out there that creatine has neuro protective effects from diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimers. Pretty cool stuff. It's cheap too. I paid about 380thb here in Thailand for 200g which lasted me about 6 weeks

Have a look at these guys. They sell whey and creatine for pretty cheap and free same day delivery if you're in Chiang mai.

Whey is naturally abundant in amino acids regardless - however, many supplement brands place a lot of emphasis on adding extra branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) into their whey products. There is a lot of peer reviewed articles on supplementing amino acids in conjunction with resistance training - some interesting stuff too. Check out the dosages they use and compare with what your whey products already have in them. You will be surprised.

To be honest it might still be cheaper to take more of one kind then to buy the crazy expensive kinds for only a bit more amino acids. But I can tell you as someone who trained for 25 years.. that its even debatable if you notice whey use .. now to see difference between different kind of wheys would be even more futile. The things that really help are not legal (or healthy by abuse) but nobody ever got huge from whey.

We have to realise that it is the protein content and the type of protein of whey which counts. We all know protein is the essential building block of muscle. Without it, we would definitely struggle to recover from intense workouts, let alone pack on muscle. Whey is easy for our body to digest and in-turn quickly absorbed into our blood stream and utilised in our muscles.

Now the different types of whey (i.e from the basic concentrate, then isolate and to the most filtered hydrolysate) are all the same stuff - they are just passed through different filters and dryers during the production process creating less lactose, fat and carbohydrates and increasing the protein content per serving. Simple. Obviously, with the more filtered higher protein count whey products available, companies increase their prices significantly making a good bang for their buck.

Now with what you are talking about with the illegal side of things, yes, they are great tools in your tool kit to have assist you in your goals of attaining more muscle mass and or decreasing your fat mass. But remember what most anabolic "tools" do? They assist you to put on size by increasing the efficiency of protein synthesis in your muscles during recovery. You still need protein for protein synthesis and if you want to maximise your gains from the particular "tool", you have to get your required protein intake from somewhere.

That IS a good deal. Yes, the import tax on such products are extremely high - hence why the prices are so astronomical for the big brands.

The Warrior Supplements guy said his two whey products will be 1790THB (27.9g protein per 34g scoop) and 1890THB (25.1g protein & 3.4g creatine per 34g serve), respectively - for 2kg stand-up zip lock pouches. Four flavours - Choc, Vanilla, Banana and Strawberry.

Any other info you can email him:

A bodybuilder friend of mine in Chiang Mai is about to launch his company in November called Warrior Supplements.

They make their own products and will sell flavoured whey that has a pretty awesome nutritional profile, and for a fraction of the price of the big international brands. I think per 34g serve, it will have 27g of protein and 2g of fat and 3g carbs with some good BCAA's thrown in. I think another whey product they will sell even has creatine mixed in too, which i'm amping for.

They will be online only - with free shipping anywhere in Thailand so look out for them.

I will find out the website and re-post soon.

Hi Rinnie

Yes you are right. - it is rather expensive to travel to Suvannakhet.

The cheapest, most convenient (least draining) way I found to get there was this.

I flew Nok Air from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchatani and managed to get a one way ticket for around 1800THB. The reason why I did one way is because I live in Chiang Mai and was in Bangkok for a week prior anyway.

So once I was at the airport I caught a taxi for 60 baht to the bus station. Once at the bus station I paid 150 baht to get a mini van to Suvannakhet which took around 3 hours.

If you wanted to fly into Udon Thani it's about the same price or a little

Bit more expensive, but the bus ride is longer - around 5 hours.

Big thanks to the OP for his detailed post and also to the many other contributors to this thread.

I see that a number of folks were able to get the various steps wrapped up in the same day – which would be my hope.

To do so (i.e. hitting the Thai Consulate before 11 AM – or, to minimise the risk of not getting your docs processed before they close, as early as possible before then) seems to involve cutting things real tight.

In that context, and in order to help planning,it would be great if perhaps somebody could kindly have a few specific logistical details ….

1. The Thai Border Control is right there before the Friendship Bridge, right?

2. What time does the Thai Border Control office open and, generally, is getting through there a pretty quick process (assuming the amount of people queuing is not too big)?

3. Do you then just walk across the bridge?

4. What time does the Laos Border Control office open and, generally, is getting through there a pretty quick process (assuming the amount of people queuing is not too big)?

5. I assume all you need have with you for the Laos Border process is your passport and a photograph?

6. When you then pick up a tuk tuk outside Laos Border Control, approx. how long does it take to travel to the Thai Consulate?

7. Assuming you get your docs processed before 11 AM at the Thai Consulate and are, after returning and queuing in the afternoon, able pick them up at say 3.30 PM, how much time do you have to get back to the Laos Border Control and Thai Border Control? [what are their closing times?]

Many thanks!

Hey Roykeanz

I know others have replied but i thought the more info you get the better, right?

1. Yes, the Thai border is right before the Friendship Bridge - takes about two minutes to get to the Laos Border Control area by bus / car.

2. I am uncertain of the hours etc of the Thai border side of things, but it took me and about 30 others around fifteen minutes to get through. No issues.

3. Yes you could walk across the bridge, no worries.

4. Not too certain on the Laos border times either sorry. I got to the Laos border on a bus from the Mukdahan bus station (took around 15 minutes to get to the border). I got to the border around 5pm. They dropped us off at Thai immigration and then we jumped back on after. Easy.

I got off the bus along with everyone else at the Laos border, except I was the only Farang and needed a "Visa on Arrival" which was issued at the office on the far left of the control area (big sign). I waited for around 20 minutes as there was no one inside the office. I walked around to find other staff, but no one was anywhere to be found. I finally walked into the adjacent office and asked a women cleaner if there is any staff around. She walked away and found an immigration officer who then got on his cell phone and called someone. After around 10 more minutes a guy in a suit and tie walked up to me and said "Visa?". He unlocked the Visa on Arrival office and walked in, and filled in the documentation for me as I gave him my passport and one photograph. He handed me a Lao arrival and departure card and said "fill it in", which I did. This process all up took around 10 minutes. I then got my passport back with my visa and walked through the immigration booth area. I went to get on the bus - but my bag was left next to a taxi and no bus in sight. Awesome. They left without me.

5. Yes passport and photograph. You can fill out an application form on the spot.

6. There are about five or six home made taxis waiting outside the immigration. They told me 300-500 baht to get to the central city I told them it was not a good deal and attempted to walk down towards town. After around 100m walking, three taxis followed me and their price reduced significantly. I couldn't get better than 200 baht, so just go with it. They are very poor and it's only a few bucks to us. The drive to the centre of town was around 12 minutes from the border. The consulate is right in town anyway, so about roughly the same distance., maybe a minute or two more.

7. The told me to pick up my documents around 3:30pm the same day but as I said earlier i arrived around 2:15 and got my documents by 2:30pm-ish. I then got a tuk-tuk to the Suvannakhet bus station for 100 baht. I arrived at the bus station around 2:50 and got my ticket back to Mukdahan. The bus left at 3:30pm and leaves every hour after that. I think the last bus was around 5:30pm if i remember right. I didn't get back to Mukdahan til around 4:30pm - so the process to get back was a lot longer as customs took their time searching the bus etc. I then got the 4:40pm bus to Udon Thani which was an exhausting 5 hours.

Hope this helps bud,

My marriage was in Thailand, therefore my marriage cert was in Thai Any other questions feel free to ask mate. Cheers

I did the mission to Savannakhet on Thursday 7th August to get the Non Immigrant O visa (marriage).

I arrived the next morning (Friday 8th) at 830am and the gates opened at 9am.

There were around 40 people, mostly from Laos.

We all lined up outside of box number 1 - and I was number 34 in line.

After around five minutes I handed in my documents to the Thai consulate officer. The documents were as follows:

1. Application form with two passport photos attached with paper clip. I ticked non immigrant visa and put down the number of entries as "5".

2. A signed and dated (myself and wife signed) copy of my marriage certificate. Front and back of cert on one piece of paper.

3. A signed (wife and I signed) and dated copy of the Kor Tor 2 form. Front and back on one piece of paper.

4. A signed and dated copy of my passport front page.

5. A copy of my wife's national ID card (front and back) signed and dated.

6. A copy of my wife's Tibian baan book signed and dated by my wife.

7. 5000 baht cash inside my passport.

The officer looked over my paperwork and gave me my ticket and said come back at 330pm.

I arrived back at the consulate at 215pm and the doors opened at 220pm. I walked in with around 20 others and lined back up at the number 2 window. I was around number 15 in line.

I gave them my ticket and I got my passport back with a one year non immigrant o visa.

I did not need proof of funds. I hope this helps everyone. Cheers

Wow. Another level right here. False accusations ... anyone else feel like we are in high school again? The poor owner of the White Plate. He has put his blood sweat and tears into that business and people are just trying to sabotage his good work.

All people do on this forum is b*tch and moan. I'm sure everyone is sick of it. Moaning about going out in the heat? This is classic. You do realise you live in Thailand, right? If people just use their brain a bit more and look at the opening and closing times, there wouldn't be a problem. The White Plate advertises it's opening hours on their Facebook page and outside their store. For the few times they had to close, I heard was for personal issues. From my view, The White Plate is doing extremely well. What is this guy talking about?
