Anyone tried Thai Sumigran sumatriptan/Imigran/Imitrex? 1/10 the price...hmm
Ok, well one more datapoint. I finally tried some Sumigran. I can say that it worked, but clearly it is somehow chemically different from the expensive Imigran/Imitrex even though both pills are supposed to be the same 50mg sumatriptan. I had some mild headaches over a week and used 6 doses, 50mg a day. The headaches did go away, but seemingly a little bit less quickly than with 50mg Imitrex and, more to the point, I didn't get the same distinct "nasal passages opening" feeling that I get 100% of the time with Imitrex when the medicine is finally working and the pain is receding. While possible, it seems unlikely that the difference in "nasal passages opening" feeling is due to differences in the non-active ingredients between the brands. This leads me to wonder if the Sumigran really has 50mg sumatriptan, or any sumatriptan at all, or if Imitrex has something extra. If Sumigran has some other substance, I wonder what substance. Wish there was an easy way to test the contents, or an FDA that we could trust to test for us. Eventually I will try it for more severe headaches to see. -

Car Registration Renewal for a Foreigner Living Here
What do you mean 'Registration Renewal' ? Once the car is in your name, you don't have to renew your registration. If you are refering to paying the annual tax and renewing the compulsory insurance - just go to your local Land Transport Office and do it. Depending on the age of the car, you may have to go there anyway - if it needs a safety check, you clearly can't do that online. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I am wondering if I should file a null return every year, even if I am not a tax resident. My local tax office is 5 minutes away, filing a return only for the WHT from interest takes 5-10 minutes. They don't check how many days I was here. Advantage: an audit not more than 3 years back, that's easy. 10 years back - I wouldn't have any documents at all anymore. How frequent are these audits 10 years back? -

Used car market in a jam as electric vehicles spark trouble
This was the strangest behaviour for me to understand when I first arrived. I bought in a gated community, My first house was 2.9M baht, most houses were similar in pricing but some of my neighbours had BMW's and Mercedes Benz in their driveways. Their cars were around 3M baht. Back then in Australia you'd buy a car for around 10% the value of your home. -

Is street food good for you? Old rancid oil. Cheap oil. Food dripping with oil.
Yes, fresh fruits peeled & cut in front of you. BBQ every thing, hot off the grill. Roast chicken in big clay pots. Even fried chicken, if I see the oil isn't black. Steamed Bao bun and such. Common sense and choosing wisely goes a long way. -

"debit cards in the local currency for hotel bookings etc. All that requires having a Thai bank account." I will contradict that part of your post. It IS quite possible to to use a foreign debit card to make payments in Thai Baht. And as stated earlier in a reply to Dr Jack, I do NOT have a Thai bank A/C for purchases. -

I'm waiting to see if abolishing the taxes makes wine any cheaper for the consumer.
