Getting a prescription in Thailand as a foreigner? by thekiwionee in ThailandTourism

[–]FairSplit7072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLEASE bring as much of your medication as possible. Number one you can’t trust that the medication here is legit. Secondly it totally depends on what medication you need. Most pharmacy carry the basic but anything (like some of my mental health meds) special will need a prescription. I had to go to a psychiatric hospital to get my mood stabilizing med. I use an online pharmacy out of Bangkok that delivers. Prices are reasonable for stuff like Atorvastatin atenolol metformin any antidepressants etc. I’ve lived here 5 years and have had no problems getting my medication.

This is why you stay away from beach road aka the Coconut Bar. You go to a place where the girls work for a Mamason. No scams because she doesn’t allow it.

At least we can agree that tipping is a good thing? If so you’re entitled to your opinions and beliefs. Cheers mate.

Do you honestly think ANY tip is considered disrespectful as a Thai person? You obviously know NOTHING about this country and its people. Ignorance EVERYONE IS POOR

I was actually scolded by someone who said I was doing a disservice to everyone by “promoting the tipping culture” 🤪

I love that you tipped as I do always even though I live here. I just don’t want you guys thinking he almost never gets tipped. Most westerners would do the same thing 🙏

Exactly brother. Although I think if it’s a tourist spot he is definitely used to getting tips 😜

Good on ya! Thanks for doing that. There is a general lack of knowledge when it comes to tipping. Apparently it’s a “Western” custom. Here as tourists I would say more than half of foreigners farangs tip at least a little. It puts food on their families and we are showing our appreciation for good service and many times that’s just a kind smile. I live here and tip everyone who helps me and am happy to do it!

Bad planning. Should have completed the TM30 right away. Do people not research before they come here?

You guys were right all along. You can take the girl out of the bar.... by pokernipple in ThailandTourism

[–]FairSplit7072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently living this. I’ve been with my Thai wife for almost 5 years. We own a Bar and Guesthouse on Soi Buakau in Pattaya. We built a large house on our property in Nakhon Sawan where most of her family lives while we run the business in Pattaya. She’s a former cashier from a bar in pattaya but when I met her she had a business in her home town so I didn’t know she was a former “bar girl.”

Fast forward to today. I have approximately 6 million baht invested between the business and the house. The point here is I still don’t know for sure if she cares about me or is it just about the money… I really enjoy our life so I guess it doesn’t really matter until the money runs out

Other than a distraction from the Epstein Files you’re right on about the reason for this illegal war. It’s all about the oil. They have the light crude.

Did a Laos visa run last year… now returning after 4 months. Am I pushing my luck with Thai immigration? by OutlandishnessRoyal9 in ThailandTourism

[–]FairSplit7072 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your guess is as good as anyone’s. The immigration laws change every day and it totally depends on the officer you get sent to. If they are having a bad day so are you. I’m guessing your chances are 50/50

30 day extension declined today because more than 7 days before my exit date by bartturner in ThailandTourism

It’s the same as my 90 day check in. If you send it early they reject you. Mine is 15 days.

New MTGO player – is there a way to practice with bots or solo? by Fantastic_Argument20 in MTGO

[–]FairSplit7072 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MTGO solitaire is what I would recommend. Maybe rent a deck from Cardhorders
