Thailand Cracks Down On Viagra For Foreigners

[KamalaDreamer]

So bloody subtle the point is lost transam.

Happy to talk over a beer. TV Forum is clearly not the vehicle.

[Maestro]

My apologies. I am a bit slow sometimes when it comes to understanding some jokes. Bamboo = penis, is that it? Since the topic is about erectile dysfunction, I guess we have licence to say penis. Or is it bamboo as a substitute for Viagra?

No. Bamboo is a derogatory phrase for girls and women from IndoChina.

Farang men who have thai girlfriends can refer to them as bamboo without penalty.

Think we should all get together for a beer eh.

I wish I were there to join you, but I am in Switzerland. Reading back through the deleted bamboo posts and am still scratching my head. See you in the virtual pub tomorrow to thrash it out. Got 50 half-liter cans of my favourite beer in the cellar to keep me going.

[Puschl]

Dr. Ekkarin continues: "As the drug is not necessary for the treatment of any life threatening condition and its usage is so hard to control, it is better to ban altogether, so we are putting the drug in the same category as heroin and amphetamines".

I recently saw a paper by Dr. Wanraek Duanmai from the Dumvit Thetwonsonyuh Anthropological Institute calling for tighter control on cGMP-inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis). He presented some hard facts supporting a strong risk correlation. I approve of that notion in principle, but classifying them as grade one drugs seems like stretching it a bit too far. No one should be hanged (or is it hung?) for using Pfitzer's cash-cow.

Yeah. And I'm in London 6000 miles away from the baboons arse.

Steady on Transam.

The only movement the Swiss understand is inside a clock.

I am OK with that, I have a Grandfather clock here in LOS. (They say I'm mad here) Shhhhhhhh.

[eagleflyinghigh]

No problem, I'm stoked up on Cialis, which incidentally I get free on the British National Health.

Your nanny state even guarantees you a hard one, must be an April joke.

On a more serious note: Gay people take these kind of stuff as a party drug to make things last longer because bam's are not boo (bamboo). Hees are - so no problem there !

Back to the topic now, guys. Puschl mentioned something about Pfizer's cash cow, meaning Viagra with its sildenafil. Hasn't the patent on sildenafil already expired? Which wouldn't necessarily mean, of course, that Pfizer wouldn't be able to continue to cash in on its overprized Viagra. It's just that I have been waiting for over two years for the Pfizer shares to go up and I am still in the red.

One of the few benefits of being diabetic, not the best way to get free medication perhaps.

No joke. In the UK the National Health, ie the government health service, gives Viagra free to patients suffering not only from diabetes but also from several other conditions. See here. Up to you to guess what medical condition anterian has.

P.S. I see he posted to say that he has diabetes.

Doctor Manning on Fox News says that having sex is good for your Prostate....

Sexual activity, ie ejaculation, is said to delay or prevent prostatic hypertrophy, ie the enlargement of the prostatic gland.

Well I just have type 2 diabetes, nothing dramatic plus benign prostatic enlargement. I was diagnosed 3 years ago so I hope my doctor does not read maestro's link!!

Men who were already receiving NHS treatment for erectile dysfunction on 14 September 1998 can continue to receive it on the NHS.

All other men with erectile dysfunction will be prescribed treatment by their GP on a private prescription.

A private prescription means you pay the regular price!

Back to the topic requested by Maestro:

Thai woman with a diabetic father doesn't give a monkey's if the insulin comes from Pfizer or a generics factory in BKK.

The real world.

Long way from Switzerland.

I think it has expired because kamagra contains the same ingredient.

This is true, it does not actually prevent it, but it substantially reduces the symptoms, usually described as urgency and frequency. Normal physical exercise also helps.

So your interest in viagra is monetary?

[Maestro]

None other. Everybody, go and buy it while it is still available freely in Thailand.

Any money the Pattaya bar girl takes from the Swiss is OK by me.

[KamalaDreamer]

I'll settle for the fake Rolex from the Bangla road and and a Thai woman with a diabetic father.

Forked tongue, my foot. Bought the shares in July 2007 at $25.79 and almost five years later I am still down $3.13 per share. Closed last Friday at 22.66. They pay a nice quarterly dividend, though.

Will the Swiss banker take care of the Thai family with few assets?

We ain't communicating Maestro.

[onthemoon]

Well, if it weren't so contradictory in terms, I'd say this is another nail in the coffin of Thai tourism.

Seriously though, why does the article only mention Viagra and not Cialis and Levitra? This smells like politics might be involved. Not that it matters though, as under-the-counter everything is likely to be available at any time... I hope still at the time when I reach an age at which I'll need these products.

And we're bloomin' off topic again.
