  1. Where I live, most pharmacies start out fine when they open, with the actual pharmacist on site. Then gradually they are replaced by an old mom or dad, grandparents or the occasional boyfriend or husband/wife. I dunno where the pharmacists spend their time, maybe upstairs playing computer games?
  2. This one is absolutely top taste, good recommendation!
  3. So as I understand it, he is not charged for having consensual sex, but for keeping her away from her family?
  4. I do not know the nationality of the OP, but this is usually a question asked by US citizens. Until recently, being European, I have always been confused why Americans always are so worried about how much to tip. I was shocked to find out that in the US, the tip is actually a significant part of the staff income for restaurants in the US, which is completely different from how we do it in Europe. In Europe, you get a proper salary, protected by unions and the law. No need for a tip, although it is always welcome. Here in Thailand I don't sit around trying to calculate percentages, just give some of what is left as change, like 20 - 40 baht, or for bigger occasions a 50 - 100 baht. For a roadside stall, no tip is expected. For maids and handymen no tip is expected, but I usually give the handymen something they can repair and use or sell, like an old aircon unit or a broken spinbike/treadmill.
  5. Take a general health check up with a lab test on blood sample in public hospital. It can be precursor to diabetes. Unless she types like 200 words/m I doubt it is carpal, she should feel it in the wrist.
  6. Don't forget the sick family water buffalo in Isan, and the maintenance of the rice field, all must be paid for.
  7. Good point. We enjoy (family) the occasional restaurant visit, especially when on holiday.
  8. I don't understand the ops argument at all. Where I live in the countryside, we can order from any place around the area, like expensive restaurants or from the food vendor on the corner with his 4-wheeled trolley selling kao-pat-tai and kao-man-gai or whatever. There are Pizza company and Pizza Hut and many other. The delivery service does not deliver food from fast food joints, which does not have any meaning in Thailand really. The food is cooked with one speed only, both in the restaurants and the street corner, not very fast, but not too slow either. These are not fast food joints, they sell food, that's all. The little exercise obtained by going out to get your own food is not sufficient to bother, take a 10k jog before dinner.
  9. Ikea has good old cheap Swedish hot dogs. They even have packages of hot dog bread (buns) where the number of buns actually match the number of hot dogs in the hot dog packages:). A Swedish hot dog is best served with mashed potato together with the hot dog in the bread, a lot of mustard and special remoulade dressing.
  10. If you are from a country in the EU, you can stay in any other EU country without a visa.
  11. Same here, although I grew at high altitude causing huge lungs, So the air has to go through both my nose and mouth. Never considered it a problem. I think the notion about breathing through the nose helps you sleep better is self-fullfilling idea that wears of.
  12. I hate when terms are misused, "Capital punishment" is another term for "Death penalty", which hardly applies here.
