[Mattybyrne88]

Ok so this will be my last post until I touchdown in Thailand. 

 

Plane booked 

hotels booked

3 bank cards topped up 

€600 cash 

taxi and fast track sorted

tinder connections sorted

insurance sorted 

hepA-B and thyphoid sorted 

 and all the obvious passport, condoms, and painkillers inhalers

 

anything else anyone can recommend. Stressed out travelling alone. Don't wanna be forgetting something  

 

How restrictive is certain medicines ? Have a prescription for ciallis but paranoid about bringing them along same for anxiety tablets.

Welcome to LOS Matty.

 

Some tips might be in order.

 

Leave e ciggies at the loo before immigration.

 

Dress smartly.

 

Smile at everyone.

 

Don't take the red drinks at the lillte Buddhas. They are not freebees; well not for farang.

 

Have a great holiday and please report back

If you need painkillers, inhalers, Cialis and anxiety meds, you're f'''''ked already mate. lol

[baansgr]

You can get it here but mozzy repellent a must at present.

[tifino]

Yeah... he takes along the required meds'  heh heh heh 

... but don't forget to bring your Dr's letter that details whatever meds he's prescribed you, that you've taken along. Also, actually having the scripts then enables you to go to any pharmacy,  to top up... 

(Even having the original packaging can be sufficient, as it details your prescribing Dr's name on it)

How long is the holiday ?  600 Euros seems a bit on the low side  ( 23,000 baht )

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

He has 3 bank cards “topped up”
Perhaps no credit available?
The cash is for showing Immigration and pocket
Money should last a few days if he doesn’t ring any bells or engage too many partners at once

Bringing Cialis to Pattaya is like taking sand to the sahara

But you will make a big impression with a prescription.

 

Painkillers, anxiety tablets, if you have a prescription you can take an amount for personal use. To be certain you would have to ask in the health forum naming the stuff.

Every kind of opioid is strictly controlled or forbidden.

All  other stuff is easily available.

Which flight route you take, stop over in the mid east?

 

Otherwise I join the crowd: you think too much

Money and valid passport, that's what you need.

Hope you have a great time,as you think you are going to have,

post full report on TV, might be a laugh.

If you're approached by a LB then put your hands in your pocket.

There's a good chance that he will go for you 'middle' pocket but just smile & say no thank you then walk on.

Some are honest LBs but some work in groups & wait for you to protect your inside wicket at which time someone will dip your pockets & run off into the night.

Also they are checking to see what your little fella is saying as you might be saying 'no' but your little fella has just piped up & said yes.

One of these fits best for the time of year:

Might feel a bit warm for the day but guarantees big attention when walking Soi 7

[falangjim]

Box of condoms (bulk)

Double check you have fast track immigration.  They have changed the premium lane tickets and the old ones are no longer accepted.

history has taught me that no matter what your tips have said, everything you think you know will be thrown out the window as soon as you clear customs.

I would say the opposite, never found any medicine in the UK cheaper than Thailand.

Viagra 50bht for 4 tablets, Antibiotics 30bht for 10 tabs, paracetamol 40bht for 100 tabs.

When out late at night don’t overdo the alcohol, keep your wits about you at all times. Be alert, look confident and like someone who is familiar with your environment. Avoid confrontations, but if one arises smile and remain calm at all times.

or several weeks of antibiotics!!      ?

[Justgrazing]

If you got expensive jewellery .. Don't .. Theft of that is not unknown here .. And if you are gonna use ATM's with yo' plastic try and use the one's located within banks in the shopping centres like Centrale .. Drawing cash off some located in the streets can draw attention .. And the girlies .?Personally I'd say enjoy their company and what they might have to 'erm offer .. But past that as Thin Lizzy once sang ..

What’s the big deal? You’re not traveling around the world for goodness sake. Geez, get a grip and just go and enjoy yourself. If you find you need something you left behind, buy another one. Now you’ll have a back-up back home. People like you drive me crazy. Truly pathetic.
