Thats what I had to do for a while when coming to LOS. I used to declare them and mostly the officers wern't interested.

One trip the guy wanted to see my letter from the GP, it was in a sealed envelope and when I went to open it he lost interest and sent me through.

I have since had an operation to sort things out but last trip I didn't bother bringing any stuff with me just went to the local Hospital and got what I needed from there. :o

Hi garbol

Dr's advice is spot on. I occasionally suffer from migraines, plus being a female, always travel with plenty of prescription medication and have never had any problems. :o

Nat,

Just out of interest...is it more common for a female to need prescription medicine than a male?

It is if she controls her months to exactly 28 days :o .

Apart from this, most of the medication is just precautionary - women tend to be prone to certain things, such as cystitis which is not pleasant and if not dealt with can lead to a kidney infection. The joy of being a woman :D

      Where you can celebrate Thanksgiving in Bangkok in 2024

      Are you planning to spend Thanksgiving in Bangkok? While Thanksgiving isn't widely celebrated in Thailand, you can still enjoy a traditional turkey dinner complete with all the classic sides and a slice of American pie. Bangkok's diverse culinary scene offers numerous restaurants where you can savour authentic American dishes alongside Thai flavours. For many, celebrating Thanksgiving in Thailand is about enjoying excellent food and embracing a cherished tradition. As Alex Latour from The Thaiger mentions, "Usually, I would head to an American-owned establishment that is putting on some kind of special meal for the occasion.

      Visa on Arrival refused - what is the best way to re-enter Thailand?

      """As I'd stayed in Thailand 1 year and 7 months they said I'm not a tourist so he's refusing the visa waiver.""" Now the POSSIBILITY: Just because you have a VISA - doesn't matter WHAT kind, you CAN be REFUSED entry into Thailand by a Immigration Officer based on 1) Your history on the computer OR 2) any reason thought of by the IO. It happened to a friend of mine who was really WORKING the system for 2+ years in every possible way. He got bounced ( see next paragraph ) on his appeal. If this happens, tell the IO you want a IMMEDIATE APPEAL to your entry refusal, a process unknown to most people. Good Luck.

      Tourist’s Body Found Washed Ashore at Wong Amat Beach, Pattaya

      Pattaya rescue officials from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation received a report at approximately 07.50 on November 22, from a concerned citizen about a body floating near Wong Amat Beach. The deceased, believed to be a foreigner, had washed ashore. The Pattaya City Police Station was promptly informed, and officers were dispatched to the scene. The incident occurred near Wong Amat Tower, within Soi Pattaya-Naklua 16, Moo 5, Naklua Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District. Upon arrival, officials found locals gathered near the body, which was floating face-up close to the shoreline. Rescue teams cordoned off the area and retrieved the body from the water. The deceased was identified as a foreign male, estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old, approximately 170–180 cm tall. He was shirtless, wearing black trousers, and had a short haircut. Initial assessments suggest the man had been dead for no more than eight hours. Upon inspecting the body, authorities discovered an iPhone 5 in the pocket of his trousers, a gold watch on his left wrist, a gold necklace, and a gold ring on his left ring finger. However, no identification documents were found to confirm his nationality. Mrs. Preaw Pinyoying, an 83-year-old local resident, recounted a passerby fishing in the area had informed her of the floating body, about 30 metres from the shore. The waves appeared to be pushing it towards the beach. The fisherman asked Mrs. Preaw to immediately notify police and rescue officials. Police speculate that the man may have been walking in the early morning when a pre-existing medical condition caused his sudden death. No signs of foul play were detected, although minor scrapes on the body, likely caused by rocks in the water, were observed. As the area is relatively quiet during the early morning, there were no witnesses to confirm when or how the man entered the water. The body has been transported to Bang Lamung Hospital, where it will be kept pending identification and contact with the deceased’s family for religious rites. Investigation into the case continues.

      Gaetz withdraws from AG

      Have you ever worked in a government office? Some agencies are better than others, but it really is true. You can probably walk into about any big government agency and fire half the people. The public would never notice the difference. Currently, they can't really do that so easily, so they'll have to figure out creative ways to do it. Eliminating entire agencies. Moving the agency headquarters to Guam. Ending work from home.

      Problem with constipation at 82.

      Another one who is NOT a Doctor! The point of a Doctor is to establish a correct diagnosis that takes account of possible complications and other pre-exisiting conditions with this particular patient!

      British lawyer latest to fall in Laos alcohol poisoning tragedy

      RIP to those poor people. Vang Vieng has become a version of Koh Phangnan / Koh Tao / Khaosan Road all rolled into one. Sadly, rich people in Laos also have the same level of immunity as their Thai counterparts. Perhaps more so because many of them have got rich through tight links with certain ministers / Politburo members, rather than through general biz.
