Sidegra is sold in pharmacies; as you don't use Viagra yourself, how can you speak of products that you don't use ? Yes, a local version of a product containing sildenafil citrate is available in Thailand. That does not mean that all the available boxed generics are legitimate or that they have a bio equivalency. Are you aware that generics have different inert products and constructs than do proprietary brands? That is why some generics are more effective than others despite their containing similar ingredients. How do you know that it is a genuine generic? Well, here's some tips to determine when there is a likelihood it is not; - Pharmacist does not require a script. - Is the pharmacy selling the product storing the product at a temperature of between 15C and 30C? That is the maximum short term temperature range. Failure to store at the recommended temperature of 23C speeds degradation of the active ingredient. In plain language, one of the reasons why pharmacies charge more for certain drugs is because those drugs must be kept below a specified temperature and 24/7 AC costs. The pharmacy that "discounts" the cost of drugs most likely isn't storing the drugs as they should be. - Have you ever verified a generic drug's DIN number/lot number? It's easy to do. The drug companies all have access lines you can call and ask. This is how multiple counterfeit versions of branded and generics were identified.

You have some serious issues to deal with. The place is DEAD untill 8pm. I recently spent 4 weeks and it was far worse than chiang mai The best thing about Hua hin is the new ferry out of there I was pointing out that unlike other destinations, Hua Hin isn't a sex tourism destination. That speaks to the type of visitor. That doesn't mean unfortunate activities do not occur, as they do, just that the quality of HH and Cha Am visitors/tourists is obvious. The place is not "dead". Because the beaches are so vast, large numbers can be using them without anyone getting underfoot. I had a walk yesterday and the illegal restaurants were packed, and there were many kite surfers along with thousands of beach goers. On weekdays, many people are working or stay out of the sun. The region has a robust economy and a growing population. If the region was dead, that would not be the case. I get it, your idea of excitement are the cheap beer bars that crowd Patong and Pattaya, or the bordellos posing as night clubs. Fine. However, there are a large number of golf & tennis clubs which are packed with foreigners. Not everyone's idea of fun is drinking Leo with a sex trade worker or attending a Patpong ping pong show. There is an active cultural life in the region and many of the older foreigners socialize with each other. I had dinner at 6 pm a couple nights ago on the night market restaurant strip. It was packed with Asians, mostly Chinese and Japanese families, all spending large amounts of money. Hua Hin is currently filled with Asians with lots of money to spend. This demographic isn't big on beer bars in quite the same way the older white male demographic is. These are young professional families and Hua Hin is a great destination for them, just as it is for the large numbers of university kids down for the weekend or the military folks out on leave. Perhaps you find it boring because you are out of your comfort zone and cannot interact with these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have a vested interest in real estate or marketing. I don't ask that you love Hua Hin, but the claim that it is a dead town is not accurate. Patong is a condensed town, with a beach that is taken up by illegal jet skis and parasail operations. Approximately, less than 30% of the beach is actually available for swimming, so obviously it will be crowded. The people swimming in the bay are clueless as to the quality of water. It's all about the value proposition and preferences. If you feel that paying 25% more for significantly lower quality services is worth it, go for it. I deeply resented my almost 1000 baht cab ride from HKT to Patong the last time I was there. My limo from the Kempinski in Siam, Bangkok to Hua Hin was 1900 baht. I enjoyed my weekend in Krabi, but have never returned after seeing the sights.It's very popular with the younger backpackers for a visit as well as older Scandinavian tourists. Different market demographics. Hua Hin's hotels offer some of the best bang for the baht in Thailand. Where else can one get 4*, 5* accommodation in a beach resort at a cost 25-40% less than in Samui or Phuket? There are 2 international quality hospitals able to address most medical crises with easy access to Bangkok. Are you aware of what happens when there is a serious incident in Samui or Phuket and time matters? It makes a difference if one needs access to trauma care after a car crash or fall or sports related injury, or even a heart attack. Your comment about me and a 20 year old lost me as I don't have any 20 year old friends. You wish to ridicule the "older" demographic", and point out that the gentleman who died was a "dinosaur". Seriously? I hope to live to 80+ and to pass quickly in a luxury condo and to be found within hours as was his case. People die of heart attacks every day. It's better than the death demographic of Pattaya which skews to younger people because of the impact of mental illness and lifestyle choices. When I lived in Patong, one of the younger alcoholics died in my condo building. He slipped on the floor and cut himself on the broken glass . He was so drunk he had passed out and bled out in his alcoholic daze. He wasn't discovered for some time until the stench of death became evident, despite the building being one of the largest in Patong. When is the last time someone took a flying leap off a balcony in Cha Am? Never. Despite your assumption that everyone is elderly in Hua Hin, you should check the provincial demographics. It is a young and expanding area. Lots of young families now. If you are scared of a 60 year old European lady, so be it. They don't bite. You will be there soon enough. 19 hours ago, Hummin said: So you say Hua Hin is the place for intelligent upper class long term customers? I feel much better now ;-) Ok. Happy for you. Do not confuse class with having money. If that was the case, Pattaya would be the classiest place in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofarang Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I live in Hua Hin and it bores me off the pants to sit with these “uneducated sex trade workers” who really have nothing to tell as “where do you come from” and “what is your name”. And if you switch to Thai they are making fun of you and look down on you as if you are the latest clown in town. The younger they are the least respect they show. I lost almost all of my good old friends due to illness, death and obstinacy of old age and my life has become quite quiet. But I hear this from others, too. Lack of comradeship and good chats is one of the biggest hardships one has to master here. But good to know to store my Sidegra in the fridge.

I feel a little sorry for the 2 girls, however you must be paying them well to die too, be very careful how you plan this, if they are Thai they will try and wriggle their way out of the death bit part of the agreement. You may need to dose them with something a little stronger than Viagra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
