    Still on medication yes. The medicines have evolved, I started on a beta blocker which I didn't like, moved to a calcium channel blocker (Adalat) that worked well initially, but over time my BP started to rise again. Changed to an ACE inhibitor (can't remember which one) which gave me a dry cough, so I was switched to an ARB - Losartan which works well at keeping my BP normal.

    I was diagnosed with hypertension by my GP in the UK, who put me on medication. That was 30 years ago now. .

    If you are using Skype on the dial up page you just select the country you're calling at the top and then enter type in the telephone number, no need to add international codes

    Skype Out is EUR 2.3 cents/min which is about Bht0.9/minute

    Use Skype if making calls to the UK. Just buy some credit and pay as you go.

    I've been taking the drug manufactured by Merck (MSD), now Organon, I hadn't realised there were generic's available - I don't think there were when I was first prescribed Hyzaar. Will need to ask my pharmacy what generic alternatives they have next time I order, even if that means taking as two tablets losartan plus hydrochlorothiazide. Thanks.

    40 Bht per month, I presume that's cost per tablet! I'm on Hyzaar, a combined losartan with diuretic, and pay Bht1,050 for a box of 30 tablets. None. .

    I was diagnosed with hypertension aged 35 - headaches, BP consistently over 140/90. It runs in the family my sister has it, and it contributed to my father's death at 45. With medication, currently Losartan 50mg, my BP is averaging 118/75 so far this year, it's been around 120/80 for years now, I take a reading once a week. I am overweight, though wasn't when diagnosed. .

    I've been using NordPass for a couple of years now and am happy with it.

    Not on the list. The one from the local water supplier that picks up the empties and replaces with new ones. Cost Bht10 for 20 litres. .

    South Africa, yes - half a night in the cells (it was late) drinking in a public place. Tanzania, almost - arrested at gun point outside a local courthouse for sounding the car horn (it was an accident) marched into the court and promptly sentenced to a week in prison (a 'fine' alternative was negotiated in the back room).

    Ahhh, but it was Singaporean and Malaysian companies that were financing/owning many of the companies in Kalimantan and Sumatra responsible for slash and burn ahead of planting new oil palm plantations. Both the Singapore and Malaysia governments were therefore able to bring direct pressure to bear on the money behind the problem of the 'haze' originating from Indonesia.

    WTF - This happened in Rattaphum, northern Songkhla province near the border with Phatthalung not Malaysia. This is an area known for its hitmen and guns for hire. Neither the victim nor his nephew were Muslim.

    Bull excrement.

    It's possible in some rural parts of Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani that a 7-11 might not sell alcohol, but 7-11s in the main towns will. Note that many resorts/hotels in the deep south are halal, so pork and alcohol free. Certainly in Songkhla, Trang and Satun you won't have an issue. It's the east coast that is more conservative, if you cross into Malaysia then in both Kelantan and northern Terengganu you'll find areas where alcohol is hard to find.

    Incel or Imbecile - the difference is slight.
