The OP was specifically asking about Minoxidil/Rogaine. DHT blockers are a separate issue and it should also be noted that Dutasteride (Avodart) is far more effective than Finasteride.

Hmmm..........Oral Minoxidil is VERY commonly used for hair growth. People use it because it is MUCH cheaper and FAR more effective than topical minoxidil and doesn't make your hair greasy (which topical does). It does however have the side effect of making your body hair grow stronger. 320 Baht for Residil (100 x 10mg tablets) at South-East Asia Pharmacy on Sukhumvit Rd

The tablets are marketed under the names Residil, Loniten or Loxidil in 5mg or 10mg doses. Residil seems to be the most common at the moment. You can buy the tablets at pretty much any pharmacy. A bottle of 100 tablets is around 300 - 400 baht depending on 5mg or 10mg size.

Hey scuba, you're wasting your time trying to educate people on diet. Most people don't get it, never will get it and would rather pop pills than change their lifestyle. Better to let them keep making their own mistakes rather than keep banging your head up against a brick wall.

LOL............this thread has gone badly off topic.

Just a bit or roid rage - par for the course in Pattaya.

Just use sun block then.

I obtained a Thai Tax ID number about a year ago. I went to the tax office in the Times Square building on Sukhumvit Rd. The only documents required were:- - Form L.P. 10.1 (individual) - Passport (with a valid visa) - Residence Certificate - Letter from Landlord Took less than 1/2 hr. Cost nothing. No translator required. You only need enough basic Thai to get the point accross. Told them my investment broker required it. They were quite happy to issue it after hearing the word "broker" a few times.

Yes, there is some serious nit-picking going on. My latest experience is similar to yours. 1st attempt was still pending after 6 days (so cancelled) 2nd attempt was rejected after 3 days 3rd attempt was approved after 4 days First 2 attempts used exactly the same data and format as the prior approval Final attempt made a slight adjustment to the address format. Nit-picking of the highest order !!

Correct, there's plenty you can do to mitigate that drop off - but most people are too lazy to put in the effort.

Maybe his mate "Bangkok Barry" is providing him with all the news from the scuttlebutt?

You'll have a long wait..........he died in 2020.

Have you tried the Vespa dealer in the Asquare complex near the junction of Rama IV Rd & Sukhumvit Soi 26? I don't know if they're any good but they have always got loads of Vespa's in stock.

Self explanatory

My point was that "Stickman" "Not Stickman" and "Stickboy/Mike McKay" are completely different people. Introducing the former two into the context of this thread is misleading, confusing and irrelevant.

Judging by this article it seems that Item #2 is the most likely reason for his departure https://coconuts.co/bangkok/lifestyle/sexpat-blogger-stickboy-abruptly-pulls-out-of-bangkok/ "I rode through Covid with nightlife dead, but when the PM [Prayuth Chan-ocha] u-turned on the ‘180 days, everything [will] reopen,’ I’d had enough really then with each postponement, more stupid restrictions, hands tied not wanting to drop open venues in it,” McKay said in a message. “I just decided <deleted> it. 2022 is going to be another wasted year with no revenue worth talking about, so took the decision to call it a day.” He added that the banishment of nightlife took most of his income with it.

"Stickman" and "Not Stickman" are nothing to do with "Stickboy/Mike McKay" and totally irrelevant in the context of this thread.

Hmmm......................my experience with leaving them powered has been totally the opposite. 1 x Toshiba HDD developed a short and burn't out. 1 x Seagate HDD just competely failed right out of the blue. I don't trust the whizzing discs any more, I'm only using solid state drives from now one.

Nice one......and saved you from a dreaded trip to MTT ????

It happened to me and I went back to the airport to get it corrected - a lot quicker and more convenient than trekking out to Chaengwattana.

Yes it is! Mine was approved at the 2nd attempt.

Good luck with that ????

I made my first 90 day report in the new system earlier on today and it was rejected! I submitted a new report a short while afterwards and it was instantly approved. The only difference was I included my apartment room number in the address, so maybe the new system is very picky about having the data precisely formatted.

Yes, he's had a facelift (the scars are visible) and he's had several hair transplants.
