NamKangMan Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 They have just confirmed what i always thought about thai people Yes, Thai people are the great illusionists. Appear to be saying something, appear to be doing something - all the while, saying and doing nothing. That said, the craziness here is entertaining.

kiwikeith Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Never heard of nasal inhaler promoting alertness. Is there any medical support for this or is it just another official crackpot idea ? Red bull should have joined in as well, so it's a no no to drive drunk at this time of year we will impound your vehicle, but we don't mind if your to tired to drive just stick this up your nose and go forth and fall asleep at the wheel.

sabaii69 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Jeez =- driving along with it stuck up your nose.... This is dam dangerous when mixed in your thai whiskey. Tastes terrible. It will also look stupid when lying on a stretcher drunk with it halfway up to your brain. I thought thais used them for 'smelly' farangs! Seriously, it is yet another distraction; if drunk don't drive. 30 years fire/rescue/medic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 "Yes, we received these little Captagon inhalers from Saudi Arabia just in time for the holiday season. One little whiff and you can drive from Phuket to Bangkok without even a rest break." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebrown Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Would it make any difference to the alertness of Thai traffic police if each officer had an inhaler stuffed in every orifice? Doubtful, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Before a journey NEVER check your vehicle. If you do and find something has failed you may worry about it and stop concentrating on driving which could lead to an accident. That will reduce accidents I am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Never heard of nasal inhaler promoting alertness. Is there any medical support for this or is it just another official crackpot idea ? Probably a nice kickback from manufacturer. Possibly a CIWB....crackpot idea with benefits? Benefits for the BiB, not the motorists. There seems to be something Asians enjoy about having menthol inhalers stuck up their honkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats56 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My GF sticks one of things up her nose. I just shake my head. It must be a Thai thing. Man doing that in NA you look like a ass. Ya it is a different world here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I can only think of one problem useing this " drive alert capaign " The fumes from the inhalers have to find something to attach themselves inside the head, to in order to work.

Brer Fox Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I went to a Thai in a hospital just yesterday regarding a bronchial condition. He asked me if I used inhalers and I told him no. He warned my not to start using them as they can become addictive and in the longer term can have a detrimental effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4UCorsair Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I went to a Thai in a hospital just yesterday regarding a bronchial condition. He asked me if I used inhalers and I told him no. He warned my not to start using them as they can become addictive and in the longer term can have a detrimental effect.I can vouch for nasal sprays being addictive, physically addictive. Long term use damages the delicate tissue in the nasal passage, and you find it hard to breathe, so use more thinking you're congested. It's a bitch getting off them.I can imagine the inhalers having a similar effect. Edited January 1, 2016 by F4UCorsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sead Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hmm. I think theres something that we dont know but they do. Having this up your nose does prevent you from drinking same time.

oldsailor35 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 One of the most revolting things to me is any woman going about her business with one of these things stuffed up her nose, especially in the food industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
