  1. The instructions for taking sildenafil (Viagra), tablets or gel, are to take on an empty stomach as fatty food and alcohol reduce/slow the uptake of the active ingredient. So, grinding a tablet to powder and snorting it will coat the soft nasal tissue and get absorbed into the bloodstream bypassing the stomach. It works with Cocaine so I don't see why it wouldn't work with Sildenafil. There is also a vasodilator cream available called Alprostadil which is applied directly to the penis.
  2. There was not a delayed response! Reporting an adult missing is not a high priority and is not usually looked at for 24 hours as most turn up. If it was a child it would have been a different matter and if the neighbour had reported the scream then there may have been a more immediate response.
  3. I can confirm my non-O application last August was granted with only £1000 in the bank and that was the same for the previous year. The website does say £10,000
  4. Try turning data saving on as this stops apps running in the background
  5. I get my heart meds from them. I wouldn't say they were cheap but reasonable and genuine. I think they also have a branch in Bangkok
  6. There's one in the basement of V Square
  7. In a FB group I'm in an American had self-checked-in but was stopped at the boarding gate and asked for an onward ticket
  8. I read an article saying almost a third of the world's population suffers from white coat syndrome. In the UK you have to wear a BP monitor for 24 hours so the doctor has an accurate reading before he prescribes medication. My reading at the Thai dentist was 156/101 (I was there for root canal work) but my reading at home was 128/81 and 126/83 - I have two machines (Omron and Kinetik) The correct way to monitor your BP is to take the reading at the same time every day (doesn't matter what time). The cuff should be at the same height as your heart and your feet should be flat on the ground with you sitting upright. There should be silence with no outside stimuli. Take 3 readings about 3/5 minutes apart and add them together and divide by 3. This will give you your mean BP and it will be far more accurate than the near useless static machines they use in Thai hospitals.
  9. No such thing as an EU passport. The visa isn't attached to the passport as it is a stickerless visa that is sent to your email.
  10. This is what my office told me after a trip to Vietnam. They said as I had a re-entry permit and I'm returning to the same address using the same permission to stay so the TM30 is still valid and doesn't need renewing. My friend who had travelled with me was on a visa-exempt entry and they said he must do a new TM30 as his last one was cancelled when he left the country (his 30-day permission of stay was cancelled). He entered getting another visa-exempt and so has a new permission of stay. That was translated by my wife but that is how I understood the conversation went with the IO.
  11. Don't ask as they don't know so they say that. You have to register but it is easily done online with Bangkok Bank. The option is on the app also but I've never tried that. My Swift transfers only work during office hours so I expect it is manually checked.
  12. I don't have an FCD account but I send swift transfers 2 or 3 times a year to my First Direct (HSBC) in the UK
  13. Some offices still require a TM30 report when you've travelled outside your district, Chiang Mai is one. I'm glad most don't.
  14. A missing adult is way down the priority list of the London Met Police
  15. They probably didn't know who he was but the stolen passport had finally been flagged up. Maybe the real Peter Smith had applied for a new one or had passed away. Once they arrested him for using a stolen/fake passport his fingerprints would identify him.
  16. My Turkish Airline email had the e-ticket attached as a pdf. If you need an onward ticket then just buy one from the many websites that specialize in that service. Costs about $12
  17. I had the same trouble trying to contact Air France and eventually, I got a response from Facebook I also prefer Emirates
  18. Men should consume no more than 9 teaspoons (36 grams or 150 calories) of added sugar per day. For women, the number is lower: 6 teaspoons (25 grams or 100 calories) per day. Consider that one 12-ounce can of soda contains 8 teaspoons (32 grams) of added sugar! American Heart Association. Thais consume 24 teaspoons a day on average plus they now eat the American diet, which is high in fat, high in sugar, high in carbs and low in fibre.
  19. Yes I have heard the same from several sources. Never tried it myself but I do believe that BOT very much makes it very hard to transfer Baht overseas. Next tiem the OP visits Thailand - take it out in cash - get currency exchanged to UK Pound in BKK - keep documents and bank statement (print out the book so up to date) - take the cash back to UK (declare at airport if over limit UK Immigration imposes - show the documents/book). You need to stop listening to barstool 'experts'. I have made many swift transfers to my UK bank from Bangkok Bank online. https://www.bangkokbank.com/en/Personal/Other-Services/Transfers/Transferring-Out-of-Thailand/IFT-mB
  20. Thailand is not part of East Asia. Correct it is in Southeast Asia but how does that affect the context of the statement?
