Bring back Colombo & Ironside ..2 of the best detectives ever

They would have it sorted out right away. I didn't think there was anyone still alive who remembers ironside. LOL. Are you from Wales?

Not remember Ironside?

How about Raymond Burr's earlier role as DA "Perry Mason"

Similar situation.

Planning on retiring, with Thai wife, some time soon, to Petchabun area.

Does anyone know whether the following medications are available in Thailand, whether there are any generic equivalents, or where I can order them (Bangkok?):

1. Ivabradine - (Trade name: Procoralan)

2. Valsartan - (Trade name: Diovan)

3. Rosuvastatin - (Trade name: Crestor)

Many thanks

Last thing I heard, the army had called on "divine" assistance from the GT200 team!

Many thanks camarata for the link to Bumrungrad.

A couple of years ago, I was on my way to Bangkok airport to fly home to the Middle East and was taken to Bumrungrad with Kidney stones (extremely painful).

They sorted it out without any cuts (keyhole surgery).

The facilities in the room were excllent - ensuite bathroom, cable TV, fridge and a sofa so my Thai wife to stay in room with me (rather than having to stay in and pay for a cetral Bangkok hotel room)

Cost for the the overall deal was significantly less than I would have paid for similar service back home.

Excellent service - I'd recommend them any day, to anyone

Hi Folks

I've only just seen this topic, but I'm happy to pass on some good advice I received on back-pain from a physiotherapist at our company's clinic, many years ago - copy attached.

I used to suffer from intense lower back pain, where my back would just lock up and I'd be doubled up, unable to stand up straight, such as when I was getting out of the car.

The cure, for my back problems, she suggested, was simple, free and lasting, provided you follow the rules.

Basically, first, you lie flat on the floor, face down.

You curl yourself backwards (half-way up), at elbow level, as per Exercise 2 diagram, as far as you can (keeping your hips on the floor).

Bending your body away from the pain can be an added relief.

You then relax, completely, face down - this is vital. Repeat 10 times.

You then do the same, but as per Exercise 3 diagram, by curling back until your arms are straight.

At the end of Exercise 3, your pain should have gone (if not repeat), but remember do NOT bend over forwards for a few days afterwards.

I was so pleased with the results the 1st time, when the pain went away, that I thought I was OK to bend forward! My back cricked again immediately and I had to do it all over again, but it worked again.

It may not work for everyone or even anyone, but if it works for any of you out there, congratualtions, you've cracked it.

It won't stop you from getting it again on another occasion, but at least you may have an easy way of quickly stopping the pain!

Hope this helps at least some of you.

Best regards
