Friendship Supermarket Closed
I recently went into Friendship and felt it had become identical to Foodland. I used to be a regular patron of Foodland for years in both Bangkok and Pattaya. However, now, the big players have got all the imported and specialty products so Big C or Tops it is. -

French Report Warns of Islamist Infiltration Threatening National Unity
What did they expect would happen? Even the Muslims have said that they will change the countries from within. They flee the persecution of their former countries, but retain their strong beliefs in Islam, Mohammed and Allah. Little by little they seek to destroy Christianity and the Jews. -

Mild BPH symptoms, unclear treatment path — anyone in a similar situation?
Most common cause of prostatitis is E. Coli, which an STD panel would nto detect. Also, depending on the type of test done, there can be false negatives esp for chlamydia. So you still need to rule out prostatitis IMO. It is just not usual for mild BPH to cause the degree of urinary frequency you describe. Add to that the lack of relief from tamsulosin, and suspicion of an infection rises. This doctor is not too far from Samut Prakan and has been recommended by other board members https://www.sukumvithospital.com/doctorprofile.php?id=188&lang=en Ideally you want toi get a prostate massage to express prostatic fluid then a culture and sensitivity As for your BPH: iti s a progressive condition and it worsens with age, but how fast varies greatly. One of the 2 classes of medication used for it can help reduce prostate size/slow growth. These are the 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, such as finasteride and dutasteride. It takes 6-12 months to see the therapeutic effect of these drugs, and they do unfortunately sometimes worsen ED. When they do, sometimes this effect eases up with continued use and sometimes not. The other class of drugs used for BPH are alpha antagonists, such as tamsulosin and doxazosin. These do nto affect oprostate size but rather give symptomatic relief from blockage by relaxing the smooth muscles in the prostate and bladder neck. Unlike the first class of drugs, action is almost immediate. You already tried this class of drug without relief. Cialis is also sometimes used to relax the muscles around the bladder neck and prostate, likewise only symptomatic relief. And of course, for ED. Since the 5-alpha reducatse inhibitors do, over time, reduce the size of the prostate and slow progression of BPH, you could ask doctor about a daily regimen of Cialis plus finasteride or dutasteride as a way of potentially off-setting the negative effect of the latter on erectile function. May or may not work, and may or may nto be suitable i nthe context iof your overall medical history. Urolift is nto widely available here, just a few places and doubt any doctor would do it for mild case of BPH. Like all treatments, it has potential side effects. Some people feel that saw palmetto and/or milk thistle supplements help with BPH, others don't, and there is a lack of clear evidence either way. No harm in trying. But above all, I suggest you rule out potential infection as your urinary frequency is unusual from mild BPH. -

Report Foreign Earnings Taxed Under New Thai Rules - But With Exceptions
The most stupid views are those based on ignorance and racism - like yours. The TRD process about 10 million tax returns a year - where are the other 30-40 million from Thais earning over 60/120K per year?? None of my Wife's family have ever paid income taxes, and two of them run businesses (hairdressers) that pull in well above 10K per month. Thais I know that pull in 100K in a good month do not pay income taxes - compliance is one thing, but enforcement is another thing altogether in Thailand. That is the same for the majority of Thais who does not work for a company that have a TIN and the company pays TRD a percentage of their income as income tax.- 1
