  1. Bangkokdrugstore isn't cheap, either. You pay for the privilege of receiving meds you wouldn't get at your local village pharmacy. When in Bangkok or another big city, I don't buy meds online.
  2. You said in your OP he "suspects" emphysema. One could agree to that (concave curve, high VC, flow metrics low normal, especially FEF25-75) but its a rather weak suspicion (low normal is still normal). Did the doctor know that you are able to swim, run etc? A follow-up in 3 months is certainly a good idea, whether at the NHS or one of the doctors Sheryl and Noodle recommended. Also ask for a DLCO test. And, yes, I would taper off the inhaler- especially as you said it had no effect at the spirometry.
  3. I second that
  4. Because they didn't get a vaccine here: Don't pretend you don't get it
  5. My Thai e-Visa was a pdf file attached to their mail. I printed this pdf file out.
  6. This isn't sarcasm, is it? You really add insult to injury. It doesn't occur to you that for many foreigners the fact that they didn't get vaccine in Thailand, led to major upheavals in their life? People left Thailand to get vaccinated and then weren't let back into Thailand, meanwhile their life in Thailand (partner, kids, house, work) unravelled. We really don't think this is funny, and do not appreciate your disdainfulness.
  7. Correct. This hasn't changed in the 2018 update (I posted the link in my last post) So as of 2018, WHO basically recommends: - 2 shots if you previously were vaccinated - 4 shots if you aren't vaccinated yet
  8. You are a bad loser, admit it. I tended to think the same as you and still can't quite believe what happened. You said in an earlier post you never experienced a shake-down. Neither did I. Police were always very correct, sometimes quite helpful. I was once frisked at Ekkamai bus station, they found nothing and that was it - that was the only time I felt uncomfortable with them. But I do know from friends that these things happen. I have no idea what I do different from other people. I rarely drive a car. I am never drunk. I look boring. I follow the law more often than not. But I have taken taxis on Sukhumvit or Ratchadaphisek at night countless times. Am I just lucky?
  9. We all know the Chinese government says that. Here is a more trustworthy source, the goverment of Taiwan: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2023/02/01/2003793485 The positivity rate of travelers from China has dropped from more than 20% on Jan. 1 ... to about 2% last week What is the relevance to Thailand? When the Chinese start coming by the millions, you don't have to be afraid of them. They are no more infectious than anybody else.
  10. I posted a better translation and explained it (what she wrote contains a play on words in Chinese) but it was deleted by mod.
  11. In some countries, to record them without their prior agreement would be a criminal offence, And obviously not admissible in court.
  12. "tourists" here (as usual) includes people on retirement visa, marriage visa, ED visa etc, no matter how long they have been here, how many kids/condos/wives they have. Non-tourists are people who work here and diplomatic staff
  13. Pfizer, first version. I have heard some places still have AZ, not sure about it.
  14. Are you joking? When they began vaccinating Thais in 2021, at many locations foreigners were refused a jab. Many were desperately looking to get a vaccine and didn't get one. Quite a few foreigners flew to other countries to get vaccinated. Your post adds insult to injury.
  15. Yeah, as opposed to you I really know very little about Thailand. I have never been there, all my knowledge is from "The Beach"
  16. This is her IG. I cut and posted the relevant passage. It is the line of Chinese on top, I have attached two pictures, but they look like one. It says "I'll tell everyone/you all after I have spoken with Interpol/after I am finished speaking with Interpol." It doesn't say that she has already spoken with Interpol. She does say "Interpol" ( there was a poster who doubted it) Here the line again:
  17. Correct. I didn't know that people vape there. The smog there is not enough?
  18. Huh? What's that? Thais come together in groups to vape? Or are you talking about fb groups? Is there really something like that?
  19. I really wonder where you live, and the others who say this. Pattaya? In parts of Bangkok without farang I hardly see vaping (and certainly not Thais vaping). Outside Bangkok, I have never seen it at all. You know, those lands beyond Soi Buakhao and Soi Bangla are also part of Thailand.
  20. I just read the General said "bad cops will be cleansed from the RTP". So everything is fine.
  21. Sometimes I have to tell friends who come as tourists that vaping is illegal. The reaction is always incredulity. They don't believe me. But, yes, someone should have told them "you can smoke weed, but you cannot vape".
  22. She couldn't even string 5 words together into a decent Thai sentence! Obviously completely drunk
  23. I have to retract this statement. The schedule the hospital gave is ok. They already follow the new WHO guidelines from 2018. The Essen-regimen as seen in the picture I posted above and as quoted by Sheryl has been shortened to a total of 4: 0, 3, 7, and only 1 injection between 14 and 28. (The TRCS intradermal schedule has also been shortened. The Zagreb-regimen remains the same). 03-rabies-rao-508.pdf WER9316-201-219.pdf
