5000k Not a good frequency for relaxation, I wonder if it'll keep people up for a few hours once they get home.

I do have a prescription in the UK, but as I said in my original post I wont be able to bring enough back with me to last me the entire time I'm planning to stay in Thailand and I've no idea whether or not a similar product has been approved in Thailand since Google isn't coming up with much (at least in English). Thanks, I should get some tested in that case before I depart. Thanks, I'll look into that if the iHerb stuff turns out to be bunk. My specialist gave me the full run-down with regards to diet - I now only eat chicken or certain fish (not too high in purines) one or two meals a week, and have dropped alcohol; sugary drinks; and confectionery completely.

That is perfect, per dose works out even cheaper than the mixture I'm currently using. Thank you so much!

Just learnt that Pocitrin also contains 195 mg of sodium citrate which is also good for dissolving uric acid. Also, this may be of interested to @KannikaP https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8213434/

Yes 6 grams per day, as recommended by my specialist. Some stones, the ones I've had in the past, are caused by uric acid build-up; but the most common are caused by calcium oxate, iirc, whilst a small portion by struvite or cystine. I'm not qualified to comment on whether or not potassium citrate would work for gout but it's definitely worth looking into given the relation. I also take cherry extract and quercetin supplements, due to tentative reports of them helping with gout - not that I've experienced gout myself (yet). Edit: There's a table here, a bit further down the page, with the relative incidence rate of the different types of stones (calcium phosphate is another one I forgot to mention) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone_disease#Diagnosis Thanks very much, Sheryl. Sorry I should have been clearer, I didn't mean to imply that I require a weaker mixture, only to give an ideaa of the strength I'm actually after due to my doseage requirement. I'm in the UK atm and it might be a bit tricky to bring enough of the mixture back with me to last - the pocitrin might do the trick in a pinch though. Cheers!

The one I use atm is quite strong, 1.5g of potassium citrate per 5ml of mixture (I take 20ml a day as uric acid kidney stone prevention). Does anyone please know if something like this is available in Thailand, or if not a viable substitute?

Seems the first 6 on the list have paid to be bumped up above the rest which are listed alphabetically.

Was I the only one reading weep to rhyme with "beep"; "jeep"; and "deep" until that last post? Grateful I got there in the end ????

I've used a doorway one in the past without issue, about 3 months of usage. Admittedly I was rather skeptical at first but it soon became apparent just how unlikely it is to fail, and even if it does you have to bend your feet back just to get off the ground so not too risky. I wont be in town for too long so a tower is rather overkill for my needs. Cheers anyway. I've only ever seen them along Jomtien Beach and in Queen Sirikit Park in Pattaya. It amazes me the amount of outdoor public gyms I've seen that have much more, relatively, complex pieces of equipment but have neglected to include pull-up bars. As you say, I guess it's down to a lack of interest amongst Thais - a lot who might use them likely already using Muay Thai gyms. I'll probably just pick one up at Decathlon in Bangers.

Cheers, had to Google it but does sound promising. Hopefully more starvation for the taxi mafia filth.

Does anyone know if a public outdoor pull-up/chin-up bar exists anywhere near central Hua Hin, or failing that somewhere I can purchase one of those extending doorway bars? Obviously there are plenty of gyms around but I only need the bar 3 times a week, and as I only run and do calisthenics I don't need a gym for anything else - seems a little bit silly to fork out the gym fee just for some pull-ups.

Where can one find public toilets on Wongmat? Went there a couple of times before covid and never noticed any (but didn't need them anyway then), but after having a nose around on Google street view there doesn't seem to be anything obvious like there is dotted around Jomtien. Since my last visit I now have an ileostomy, so I'm a bit more careful about researching the bathroom situation before I go anywhere.
