  1. While we are on the subject of Amlodipine. I have marginal high blood pressure. Read an article in a medical journal about 5 yrs ago about a large study of giving people like me small doses of 3 different common BP drugs. Basically 1/2 the amount of the minimum dose I can find here in Thailand (have to cut the pills). Completely keeps me dialed in for the last 5 yrs for BP. All 3 drugs from the pharmacy, no need to see the Dr. Here are the drugs and doses: telmisartan (20 mg), amlodipine (2.5 mg) chlorthalidone (12.5 mg) Costs me about $0.45 per day. Funny note: The US now has a triple pill that is 2 out of 3 of the exact same drugs with the 3rd being an analog (functions the same) of the one I'm using. Discounted online pharmacy... $13.00 per daily pill. BTW, I also suffer a bit from BPH (have a naturally large prostate and beer seems to enlarge it), handle that with 5mg of Tadalafil (Apcalis in Thailand) daily and that works great. Had a tiff with a Dr at BKK Hospital who said it's only for ED (that would be 10mg minimum) until I pointed out it was originally developed for heart circulation with ED being a side effect and that, at 5mg, is commonly prescribed in Europe for BPH. Hope all well with everyone!

  3. That means you may have to show your US return to Thai officials, not going to happen. You go on extension for your US return paying an extension estimated payment if you think your going to owe. Then you get the Thai taxes done/paid on income that is taxable under the US/Thai tax treaty, then take the foreign tax credit on the US Federal return. If a lot of income showing on the Thai return, it could lead to tax that is higher than the US rate. The US return would only credit the Thai tax up to the tax that would be paid on the US return on that income with excess foreign tax credit carried over to the next year.
  4. I think someone should have looked up smooth criminal (out if my head Deadpool!) before they titled the post although, that guy had to have some cajones to do what he did.
  5. Yup, a big building with Amway on it heading away from the 2nd ring rd heading away from the airport in Chiang Mai.
  6. Will use only if it cuts out 5hrs of the 7hr layover for the CNX to LAX flight! Actually not a bad airport to get stuck in if you like airports.
  7. "It is a face massager on our popular selling website" Ya, had a Soi 6 girl use one to stimulate her cheeks. I asked her how it felt but all she could do was mumble as her mouth was full. It was a very stimulating and satisfying conversation.
  8. How dare you forget the ever satisfying Chinese eggplant!
  9. I think you get strange looking faces no matter where you put it!!
  10. Ya, into the economy but not directly into the tax coffers. If they would get their act together about taxing the Thai people on the income we are putting in, they could get the slice indirectly.
  11. May I refer you to King Canute and the tide 😉
  12. 1 hr ago. The Ping has overflowed at the U-Turn under the bridge near NIS school, now impassible. The ground water and storm drains in our moo ban are starting to back up a good 2km from the Ping.
  13. The Ping River near our house. The U-turn under the bridge near NIS school is impassible. Ground water and storm drains are staring to back up at our house a good 1.5 km from the Ping.
  14. What the heck kind of survey is this? Agility? Heritage? Movers? Power? Just who was the target audience for this survey? Quality of life and a couple of others I understand, but the rest?
  15. Looks like the border warlords and the military have come to an understanding 😉
  16. Ya, Ping river flooding tends to hit southeast of old town the worst.
  17. The Ping river near NIS school at the U-turn under the bridge is at it's brim, have never seen that before. It is just barely starting to creep over the top. If it rains hard tonight... Hope everyone stays safe!
  18. You sure your talking fiscal policy and not the state of the average bar girl fake breasts?
  19. Hmm, USD hits 32 and 4 months later 36. so, 12.5% in 4 months tax free. May have to get the Mrs to meander down to the private exchange guys for some $s soon 😉
  20. So, I hardly see a police officer anywhere. Now they want the citizens to do their work for them? 55555
  21. The other other white meat.
  22. Thanks for the quick response, Google search did come up with Villa Market but no shop in Chiang Mai, one in Udon Thani, but not here. Was trying to see if anyone stocking locally. Wife will have to see if can be shipped if no one knows of any local vendor for it. Thanks again!
  23. Hi Guys, anyone know where in CM sells this? Wife was able to find a couple of bottles at a Japanese restaurant but would like to find it at a store. Restaurant sold it to her for 1250 baht but know there are stores in BKK selling it for about 800 baht-ish. As always, thank in advance!
