  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 40b per h is minimum wage in Bangkok. There is some mistake here. You are right about the shifts.
  4. 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.
  5. In Thai, the term is "sell the body" (for money). Not the soul. Interesting, isn't it?
  6. 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.
  7. China abstained. So her dependencies obviously abstained, too.
  8. That was in the last millennium
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  12. If you are on Eliquis, you don't need to take aspirin. Eliquis is the "stronger" one of those two.
  13. 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.
  14. 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...
  15. 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)
  16. 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.

    Cialis Bangkok

    Southeast pharmacy, near Soi 15, sells Apcalis from India. 400B
  18. Update from last month https://sherrings.com/automatic-exchange-of-information-tax-evasion-law-thailand.html And formerly, in July https://www.taxathand.com/article/26702/OECD/2022/Thailand-signs-CRS-MCAA
  19. How would they do this if i have my foreign passport translated into Thai? (Amphoe requests this to get yellow house book)
  20. Actually, my experience is the opposite. If I don't care too much about pitches even Google won't understand me. Then I have to repeat what I said and consciously stress the pitches. Then Google understands. I was wondering if this is the reason that Thais sometimes don't understand me: in the wild, I do flatten the pitches (people complain about this). And maybe I flatten them a lot more than when dictating to Google.
  21. Thais often don't understand my Thai. Simple things, like ordering a coffee at 7/11. Google understands almost everything I say in Thai and will write it correctly in Thai (I can read it, but if I write it myself I need 2 minutes per word). I chat with Thais by dictating my text (in Thai) to Google, Google understands and writes everything, and then the Thais think I am Thai :). Why is it that Google understands my Thai better than Thais do?
  22. 1. Drink a lot on the flight. A lot means: you have to pee every 2 hours. Urine has the color of white wine (not the color of beer). Almost everybody on a plane doesn't drink enough and is dehydrated. A lot really means a lot. 2. Keep the leg elevated, i.e. fly business class. 3. Wear graduated (explained by another poster) compression stockings. Not the cheap stockings the airlines sell. 4. Walk a lot during the flight. Every 20 minutes, as Lacessit said. Flight attendants won't like it. Ignore them. It's your health, not theirs. 5. At check-in, take one of your Eliquis. OR take a prefilled injection of Clexane 40mg as described by others (only once, shortly before the flight, not every 3 hours). Not both. No Xarelto ( you said you still have Eliquis), no Warfarin.
  23. It's both
  24. Exactly. Test for rabies of the animal can only be done after it died. It involves slicing up the brain. Expensive, too. You don't want to wait that long with the vaccination (I know of one guy who didn't get vaccinated but then the dog died. He really had its brain examined. No rabies. The guy didn't sleep very well until he got this result)
