[Best solution for enlarged prostate that blocks urinating]

I get Tamulosin OTC from different pharmacies. Side effects are dreadful like retrograde ejaculation and difficulty getting erection. I have over the last week started taking ground raw pumpkin seeds in a morning shake and although early days, I have not had to get up at night for the last 2-3 days. Worth a try.

Just one more thing to consider is the helmet for the F-35 is over $200,000.  

What the heck. Shoot for the moon and request to purchase the B-21 Raider as well.  I believe this aircraft will cost over $100,000 per hour to operate. 

But no one wears a helmet in Thailand

Can I literally go through the Malaysian arrivals hall, maybe have a coffee then go straight back into Thailand? Just wondering about lots of questions like, why are you changing OA after 11 years or any question to refuse me entry

[Border Run at Sadao]

Hi there,

can anyone advise if I can do a border run at Sadao and return same day please? I am going with a non OA, which will be voided on exit then reenter with a 30 day visa exempt (UK passport).

I have vacc cert, 10k baht and the Malaysian pass will have been completed. TIA
