  1. The "veil of secrecy" on how the police deal with drugs was lifted recently in the Joe Ferrari case: the "dealer" was apparently willing to pay B1 mill for release, then the police upped it to B2 mill (then the plastic bag thing went overboard ... and end of story). 

     

    So, on the PM's say so, such a lucrative business will now end?

    Why is this only happening to Indian tourists, yes they buy gold often, however so many others ,?

    It was reported by Pattaya News (some time ago) that most nationalities do NOT give permission for the details of the robberies to be reported and published - but that Indians DO give permission for publication of details and photos. So, the inference may be that it does happen to other nationalities, but is not reported in the news.

    Anybody know where you can buy Grakcu in Pattaya.

    1. Just go into small pharmacies (not Boots) and show a picture of it. (It's a while since I got it ... it's no better, IMHO, than viagra.)

     

    2. The cheapest solution, I find, is the Kamagra Jelly. I pay B850/box of 50, so it costs peanuts: B17/dose ... whereas the tablets of viagra (whether the original stuff, Thai copy or Indian copy ... or indeed Grakcu itself) can be B100++ per tablet.

    Confusing article, were they discarded or not? and if they were because lack or refrigeration than someone should be responsible and get what he deserves as lack of refrigeration is a stupid reasons to throw away such preaches medicine where a temporary refrigeration solutions are all over the place...

    Yes, confusing.

     

    What the doctor "said" and "refuted" and "reiterated" does not specifically address the allegation.

  5. There really is a need here for a thread on "minimalist cooking appliances for the single gent leading the good life in Thailand".

     

    I suppose many eat out or get delivery, but I do all my cooking with:

     

    Electric jug

    Toaster

    Rice cooker

    One electric hot-plate

    Slow cooker (crock-pot) - good results, but stinks up the room for the hours that it's on.

    7. Still no western toilets everywhere (countryside) - but has become better tremendously. No idea how many elderly farangs like me do manage. A trip out in the sticks needs careful planning based on the availability of toilets. Ridiculous.

    Agreed - it completely prohibits (for me) travel outside of tourist centers.

     

    Second: Having to be on constant lookout for aggressive dogs.
