Dear me, what a silly question!

 

Obviously, only for inpatients!

 

If you are attending an outpatients clinic, no problem, unless your appointment lasts beyond 1630hrs, in which case you must present yourself at the Provincial Immigration Office before 0800hrs the next morning. An exception will be made in the case of non ambulatory patients, who will be allowed a further 90 minutes of grace, but they must present the plaster casts on injured limbs for Immigration Staff to stamp and sign...

Have this  'Research sector' been sampling the mary jane oil?

Hopefully they research for new antibiotics given the damage they have done with over subscribing in the past. It will certainly save the WHO from there annual pilgrimage here to tighten the usage. I bet they are still injecting amoxycillin into orange trees.

Good luck people-that hub has come and gone-nobody even saw it

Here we  go, is this the precursor to "Thailand invents drug for" and then TV posters  will point out the unfortunate news that it was developed 10  years ago by another country.

This  will be then followed by a Thai national poster claiming Thais invented many things and then when asked for an example will  posting the invention to again be told the real  facts that this too had been invented years before buy a foreign country.

Another free buffet and a weekend away from the wife...zzzzz
