The one I got from hospital was generic to begin with. This is simply another generic, and they didn't state 'brand' or origin. As may be TH made. You'd be surprised how many generics are produce by the original makers of. I have one generic, that is manufactured by the original. Mind boggling how the exact same, cost less in different markets, and then add the discounts of a generic, made by the same folks is even less. IN, like TH, is well renowned for medical tourism. As posted above, a world supplier of meds. I don't put a whole lot of stock in the private hospitals here, as my experiences have been less than expected. YMMV

After the 120 kph new-blips appeared, way way back when, without a whole lot of details, as to where exactly it applied to, I was driving 100-120 on a consistent basis during covid. All of 2020/2021 and beginning of 2022. Actually many times, roads not really made for 110+, so never really pushing 120 limit, unless passing. And that's all parts of the country, passing way too many speed cameras. Nothing posted at 120 kph at the time. Amazingly, we did receive 1 citation. Recently, past 2 ish months, and after more precise location info of the 120 kph limits, I've notice BIB w/camera, and check points, citing folks. After the current news-blips, realized how excessive my speeds were, I slowed down, and luckily, still no citations received. Now with the EV, and aside from driving legally, since they seem to be enforcing now, we'll also get a bit longer range at speed limit/90 kph. Which I maintain with cruise control. Yea, things are a bit slower, but TBH, not that much time was saved w/ICE, or can be saved, IF driving legally in the few spots 120 kph is allowed. Estimate I can knock off on 1/2 hour, PKK/BKK run, which is 3.5-4 hrs anyway. OK, need to stop & top up with the EV, so 30 mins added, but it does mean, the hotel, depending where staying, is 'FREE' ???? vs paying petrol price. Got to rationalize things to yourself, and we usually stop on the way anyway, coffee/snack/toilet/dog sniff & water the grass, if not leaving a land mind. Be Safe, Be Smart, drive the speed limit. IF the worst happens, better to be at a lower speed.

Mind boggling replies, especially about a 'Nazi COSTUME' at a costume party. I guess I should apologize to whatever 'letter' group for dressing in drag, for Halloween one year, since not a tranny ... I don't think anyway ???? IMHO ... the Royals are as Harry describes, along with their roots, and do lean a bit to nazism itself ... again ... IMHO I'll simply agree with Harry, as my opinion of the family isn't very favorable. They changed their name for a reason ... hmm Kudos for him distancing himself from that family. A little $$$ along the way never hurts, since they cut him off. ????????

@mark5335 Thanks for Medisafe rec., just saved ฿18.5+k (<฿15k vs >฿33k) for 1 yr supply of just the one hosp. only script. Not to mention, 3 wasted hour locally/PKK, or 3 wasted hrs + 200km r/t drive to HH ???? Will miss my chicken wrap & spicy fruit salad though ???? @Bluport

Love the independence & freedom to be O&A, when & where I please.

@bbas3008 Since the one is a statin, I suspect it will be available OTC here as will the other. I was prescribed different brands of a statin, and beta-blocker, Rosuvastatin & Carvedilol respectfully and both available OTC here/PKK without prescription. If your 2 meds are script only, maybe the two I was prescribed will be viable alternatives. Verify with your doc of course. https://www.singlecare.com/blog/metoprolol-alternatives/ "Carvedilol is preferred over immediate-release metoprolol for this condition given its demonstration of a greater reduction in mortality." https://www.drugs.com/compare/atorvastatin Actually prescribed 13 different meds, which I scratch 5 off, as not needed. Only 1 requires a Dr script, the others, except 1, which I don't need, were available OTC. I actually got the other (wife's oops, not realizing I didn't want), different brand without a script. So only 1 needs a script, which I'm still searching for an alternative online supplier, as have no desire to sit at hospital a couple hours to get the script, to be overcharged at the hospital for the med. Anyone know a trusted online pharmacy, suggestions would be appreciated. Looking for Prasugrel (Effient) @ <3000 baht a month, for 30 tabs. TIA

Another fine example ... Kirkland multi vit (mature), just ordered vs the not mature/50+ yrs ... immature multi vit, and more my personality. Same price ... but only 400 tabs vs 500 tabs, so a 20 or 25% price increase, depending which way you calculate. TBH, didn't notice the tab count, or I may have looked at other vendors with older stock. Only got the mature / 50+, as wanting Vit A, which it has a lot more of. Both almost exactly the same nutritional value, with exception of Vit A, and the mature has no iron supplement. So I'll alternate them every other day, as don't won't too much of either, since not water soluble & stored in body. A nice supplement to my normal 'healthy' eating. Fill in the gaps, without any major excess, causing more issues than helping, if any.

Obviously ... that would be the highlighted text I quoted.

Excluded ? You're making less sense now, than when say tourist don't pay taxes.

VAT ... try to keep up

????????????

Vios is called Varis (on the list) in many markets, so it would be a good idea to check the VIN number, against Toyota's recall list. https://www.toyota.com/recall/takata https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recalls/compulsory-takata-airbag-recall/takata-airbag-recalls-list

Yes

I couldn't pick the trash up at the beach if I wanted to, my back doesn't do the bending over thing. I behave myself, I avoid another back surgery.

Actually I didn't even see or read the OP. Just the headliner, as I came in the thread on the first comment I replied to. That type news never interest me, but I do not like Thai bashing. People telling people to do things they probably don't do themselves.

And yet except for the 'Heroes', I never see them. Seen plenty of farangs throwing trash on the ground, I've yet to see one picking someone else's trash up.

If I was to stop, pick up everyone's trash I see on the ground, it would take me at least an hour to walk a 100 meters. Don't expect me to do what you probably don't do.

My reply was to TomBKK and nothing to do with trash heroes. Local = Thais I don't complain about places that are trashed up, because I don't visit them.

Why would they feel obligated to pick up other people's trash. I don't pick up other people's trash, that's ridiculous. That's why I pay taxes. Thankfully where I live people don't throw trash all over surfside and it's maintained, by locals, that little bit that does make it there.

Daughter got a recall notice for her 2012 Mazda 2.

"You're special"... but won't be going to the island ????

Does this statement mean they were simply operating without the proper license? Possibly produce the license and the meat will be available to you, and be able to sell it ? "Somchuan told the plant’s owner to produce the operating license to livestock officials within 15 days otherwise the confiscated meat would be buried or burned."

I don't ... ????

I'm a fan of the bus also and will take when available.
