  1. It still is the norm when everything else fails. I learned this the hard way after 6 or 7 ENT doctors in 3 countries. All without success. Then a big hight-tech university hospital in Germany used hydrogen peroxide ???? Cheap, simple, easy to do at home.
  2. Your president disagrees. I hope he is better informed than you.
  3. Hmmmm.... Yes , that's correct. You forget to mention that the same reports say that Russia uses the cheap disposables because it has used up so many (did they say 50%? I forgot) of the expensive ones.

    Gas flares

    Answer to OP: not to my knowledge. I am familiar with the flares you are talking about. Yes, to have this in the middle of the city is quite something.
  5. Correct, BigC and Lotus, 7 days. No questions asked. Need receipt. I don't know about Lotus's, though, it might have changed since the take-over.
  6. Inter-city regular busses (the ones that stop at every palm tree) are just รถ, sometimes the color is added (there used to be the red ones all over the place, people in Khon Kaen know a yellow one and a pink one etc)
  7. Sounds a bit far-fetched but I don't have any better explanation. Now it also means the driver and his vehicle (like in "taxi") as in นั่งวิน or ไม่มีวิน
  8. Sounds like side- effects from Femara. https://breastcancernow.org/information-support/facing-breast-cancer/going-through-breast-cancer-treatment/side-effects-letrozole-femara
  9. Paxlovid is not OTC. It's actually not easy at all to get. Molnupiravir is easier to get (but much less efficient ). A doctor who prescribes Paxlovid doesn't have to read medical literature. There are several interactive websites to check interactions with Paxlovid. Nobody can remember 600 interactions. But interactions with common medications like amlodipine, Xarelto or tamsulosin, most doctors will know how to handle them.
  10. I am honestly shocked. I always found dating in America weird and hard to understand (all these serial marriages...). But I didn't know it's that bad. In Thailand, if Thais of the same level (like 2 students of the same university, or co-workers) go out, even for a date, sharing the bill is the norm. But they will not calculate to the last penny who spent how much (in some countries this is the norm).
  11. 40b per h is minimum wage in Bangkok. There is some mistake here. You are right about the shifts.
  12. That's nurse helpers, not nurses. Big difference. A nurse helper has no education whatever and gets more or less minimum wage. A nurse has a degree. In Bumrungrad, as in most hospitals here, they wear different uniforms. 2 years ago, at the height of covid lockdowns, Bumrungrad didn't fire any staff. But there were no more medical tourists (Arabs etc). So a lot of staff had their working hours and their salaries cut considerably. Maybe that explains your impression.
  13. In Thai, the term is "sell the body" (for money). Not the soul. Interesting, isn't it?
  14. You do realize that a small minority of about 90%, especially Thais, are not so keen on having sleazy beer gardens with "dirty farangs" and "women selling their body" (the Thai word for the p-word that Spider Murphy doesn't like) in their neighborhood? Some people living in Soi 81 are not happy when they hear their soi called "little Pattaya". And some Thais avoid this neighborhood nowadays.
  15. China abstained. So her dependencies obviously abstained, too.
  16. That was in the last millennium
  17. Once a week. Not always at the same time. I used a rasp/a file before applying the lacquer. It's not sticky at all.
  18. Loceryl contains amorolfine. It's the standard lacquer in Germany and in Taiwan. I used generic amorolfine lacquer and I also used Loceryl lacquer, for fungus of the big toe nail. It worked. Took a long time, though, many months. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the two American lacquers you mention, so I cannot compare them.

    Cialis Bangkok

    You obviously don't know the pharmacies in my neighborhood
  20. If you are on Eliquis, you don't need to take aspirin. Eliquis is the "stronger" one of those two.
  21. The one just around the corner 10 meters inside Soi 15 is better nowadays. Both can in no way be compared to Diamond Pharmacy, recommended by another poster. That's what I would call a full service pharmacy, very large too. But location is not very convenient. The pharmacies on Ratchawithii Rd, recommended by retiree, are something in between and probably the best for OP.
  22. I would postpone the trip to immigration until the 18th. When I was positive I stayed in my apartment 7 days, then went out with a N95 mask and kept 5m distance from any other person (this was not in Bangkok). Do unto others...
  23. BTW Bolt has about the same price as a taxi meter, cheaper than Grab. But you should be able to speak Thai (the driver will call you), and use a Thai name (driver will not call an English name, he will try to chat with a translation app, which takes about as long as if you walk to your destination on foot)
  24. It means you can still call a taxi through the old call centers. I haven't used them for a long time and forgot the numbers, they are in another phone.
