Hi all, I’m going to need to buy a cholesterol reducing tablet called ‘Atorvostatin’ this is a prescription item for me in the Uk, understandably they are not going to send it to Thailand for me so I need to be able to buy it over the counter, anywhere in Khon Kaen or nearby that sells it? And how much?
many thanks for any help

Just seen your post so sorry for the delayed response, I went to see the local pharmacist (who has been really helpful he sorted out my Pfizer booster at the local hospital) nearly all the meds i use for Type 2 & Controlled high BP i can get the Thai equivalent to the European manufactured meds with the exception of Atorvastatin which he had to order the Sandoz European manufactured tablets i think they were about 2500 baht for 30, the only other meds he couldn't get locally (and my diabetic specialist in the UK agreed) was my insulin and Ozempic the once weekly injection

Hope you got sorted OK

In 1971 I went to Spain for the first time and at our hotel there were 2 couples from the West Bromwich area. One lived in the town and the other a little way outside. I had little trouble understanding the couple from the city but the other ones were very difficult and they often had to say things two or three times so I could hear enough words to piece together what they were saying. The Spanish were much easier to understand

Not sure how much the dialects differ here but when i lived in the UK i was only 20 odd miles from Barnsley and they could have been speaking Klingon for all i knew ????

A off topic post containing a inflammatory comment and the resultant replies have been removed.

Could i politely inquire as to what is inflammatory about a visa agent trying to defend themselves regarding an accusation of theft ?

There is something wrong with the thread.

The OP gave very little input.

Then 8 months later and complain on a forum is just strange. 

Should never have gotten to this stage.

The use of agent to certify some marriage certificate was not explained fully.

Someone asked in the thread what exactly was required (other than myself). 

Always 2 sides to the story and I can't follow OP,s account of events.

 

Thats why i asked in my original reply if anyone smelt a rat, the OP is conspicuous by his absence in this thread and by the grammatical construction perfect spelling and punctuation of his OP i seriously doubt he is French either its all a bit Suss ????????

On a more serious note i never noticed the height of our units just measured them at around 78 cm I've only ever made the odd sandwich or cuppa on them (mind you the GF is a short ar$e at about 145 cm)

Wow bit of a gift to the agent bashers on the forum anyone smell a ???? ??

yes, i can also give myself now all kind of logical advices, but you ignore

one important factor here: TIME.

there was no way i could know about my problem until it was too late.

as the time passed, the PASS team did not communicate with me in any way, nor answered any phone

calls or emails, and did not give their answer in the promised time. so there was no way i could even know that there is a problem

as the time passed the date of my flight approached and...

 

maybe they did it because they want me to use an agent, who propably share with them

some tea money? hmmmm....maybe...

and how come so many posters apeare here all of a sudden , reccomending me to take an agent and how fast is the agent and what is your problem just take an agent...????

 

so i can use an agent now, but now i will have again to book - and pay - for another flight and hotel and insurance and than who knows what will be the result.

so i am feeling kind of tired from all this and need to relax with a tropical cocktail on some tropical beach to think it all over, but that beach is not going to be in thailand

For about 65 quid you could have been sat on a tropical beach IN Thailand my advice leave the lone wolf applications to the experts I hope you get it all sorted by the way

If they provide statement(s) for the year instead.

 

If they dont update their bank book regularly (weekly required by KBank), the pages will not show the transactions which might have taken the balance below 800/400k. So no point in providing copies of them.

Hi Just for clarity could i go to KBank prior to applying for the retirement extension and get a statement for the year (to either to prove 800k for the year or 65k monthly) or do i have to update my bankbook weekly (i dont live near to the bank) TIA

Personally, I never would and never have needed to use any agent in Thailand for things such as Driving Licence application / renewal and Extensions of stay applications at immigration etc.

 

I’ve gone through the Coe Application three times, the PSAS payment process once and the Thailand Pass application once.

 

The Thailand Pass website is glitchy and the PSAS payment process was simple when I used it but the payment portal clearly had an issue two weeks ago. 

 

I’m not sure if the PSAS Payment portal issue still exists or if the Op has been complaining for two weeks. 

 

 

Has the Op tried to pay for his PSAS Swab tests in the past couple of days and then reapply for his Thailand Pass (Sandbox) ????????

 

 

 

You sound brilliant have you ever thought of opening an agency to help the rest of us ? BTW do you also do oil changes ? ????
