  1. I used to buy their generic moxifloxacin. I went back to buy Avelox from Bayer.
  2. It's fake??? We all thought it's you, handsome man
  3. Whoever laughed - why did you laugh?
  4. 3. Cialis (Tadalafil) 5mg daily. Same caveat about blood pressure as the alpha blockers. The side effects of Finasteride (basically, chemical castration) and Cialis (an ED drug) are quite the opposite. If combined, Cialis helps against the ED (you want but cannot) from Finasteride, but not against the loss of libido (you are not in the mood) from Finasteride.
  5. Its Dulcolax. Better to buy it in a pharmacy. BTW not to use regularly!
  6. I appreciate your post, but maybe you should include a clarifying footnote to tell readers whether it's meant to be a joke or not.
  7. Every doctor can tell you of many patients who left their BP untreated and had a stroke. GF's grandma was 73, average age at AN
  8. I can tell you some more things about immigration that are hard to understand...
  9. Some websites of embassies or consulates write that, they explain, that a tourist visa needs to be used within 3 months, so it's useless to apply earlier. They are talking about tourist visas.
  10. No. But I still wouldn't wait with my first entry until 2029. 5 years is a long time
  11. No problem. As this is not some aspirin, I would carry a prescription from my home country, just in case. It's not required but might make things easier if anybody is asking questions (very improbable). Nobody is going to count your pills, divide the number by the daily dose and find out that it's for 32 days instead of 30. This is not Germany. If anybody takes a look at all, it should look like it's for yourself, not for resale.
  12. A good "facilitator" - normally called interpreter - might actually save some money. Because the doctor can communicate better with the patient, he might see that some tests are unnecessary, or have been recently performed. Some medication may not be necessary to prescribe as the patient may have an equivalent from his home country. I have never seen a surcharge for an interpreter, it would be very unusual. The usual international hospitals don't do this, but God knows, maybe the newly opened private hospital at Nakhon Nowhere does?
  13. That's how real men do it. Jeffers is a whimp.
  14. He is not the top IO, he has nothing to do with immigration. He is a senior original from the MFA, a completely different branch of the Thai government. Now every embassy and consulate invents their own rules about the DTA. This was to be expected, even they are overseen by the MFA. How immigration will handle the DTA we just don't know. We will get a first idea when the first people re-enter, which could be any time soon. The real test will come in 2 or 3 years when immigration might not honor a DTV because "you live in Thailand, you are not a nomad" or "you are healthy now, no more need for medical". I wouldn't be surprised.
  15. That's the one I like most. Nice to hear it's healthy, didn't know that
  16. From China. I prefer locally sourced poisons, like cyanide. But, yes, I used to eat them, and I am still alive. And Goji are not food, they are considered a supplement. I am looking for Thai fruit as healthy as berries.
  17. This is what my current browser lets through from the international version. Note: I am nor especially security- conscious Just another Chinese spyware (remember Tiktok?)
  18. Blueberries, blackberries (what's that anyway), strawberries ... all so very healthy. Unfortunately, not tropical fruit. น้อยหน่า, mango, banana ... so delicious, but better don't look up the glycemic index. Any substitute for berries in Thailand? Rambutan, Mangosteen?
  19. And the employment contract cannot be in Vietnamese. Amazing.
  20. Sec4 (1) 2. refers to pensions you got because you used to be employed. Some countries have old-age pensions, that everybody gets, whether you formerly worked or not. I don't know whether Sec4 (1) 2. also includes pensions from European social security schemes, financed by people who are working right now. You are not eligible to get these pensions if you didn't work. But the pension you get has not been funded by your former contributions. It certainly applies to pensions paid by your former employer, or funded by yourself by forced or voluntary contributions
  21. Only for farang. The portions for Thais are HUGE
  22. BP today: Srettha sees nothing to worry about. So there is nothing to worry about. Remember, BP Jul 30: Temu will compete with "local e-retailers" shopee (founded by Singaporean Chinese, biggest shareholder used to be Tencent from China), lazada (owned by Alibaba from China) and Tiktok (Chinese).
  23. Quite a few widows of foreigners receive Western pensions. A lady I know, whose husband died yesterday, will get about 2000 USD monthly. I have no idea whether these Thais pay taxes.
  24. Papa was killed.
  25. A strong case can be made that this is attempted genocide: systematically starving farang to death by serving them too small chicken nuggets. (I remember from another of your threads that your waistline is already down from 50 inches to a mere 48)
