Yesterday I moved back to my house in outer Bangkok East. I still own my condo in Pattaya but I'll only be using it for extended holidays in the future. So today I went to my local pharmacy for an antibiotic which was nearly 100% cheaper than the cheapest in Pattaya. Even my BP meds are cheaper, the cheapest is Fascino Pattaya at 640 baht. At the pharmacy here I pay 320 baht for the same medication and same brand name. Is it any wonder there are so many pharmacies in Pattaya, Is it a scam treating every expat like a tourtist. There a couple of small bars here that charge 70 baht for a large beer and the peace at night is shattering, no f****n racing motor bikes.

So you class a large beer as 'medication''? I certainly do!
