.

They used to be quite easy to get without a prescription from chemists in Bangkok.

They've tightened it up now, but I believe there are still a couple of places that will help you out.

One of them has been doing it for years and must make fairly generous contributions to the yearly Songkran fund.

Or perhaps Tax is just an old hippy ? ?

one can usually tell where the farang is living by their dress. the island farang, the bangkok farang, the isaan farang, the pattaya farang etc.etc.etc. and of course lets not leave out the chiang mai farang.

It is Cyrille. But it's funny at times.

They are not big on prescriptions here - drugs are just dispensed from the hospital pharmacy. Think the only way to do it is make sure you have it in the original packaging, and not loose.

One the matter, been here 24 years now. Only time I have ever had an interaction with the BiB was when I dropped a ciggie but on the pavement. Quick fine and on me way...

^ You should have just dumped a pickup load of plastic crap by the side of the road instead, they completely ignore that up my way.

Jeepers, if that's going to lead to the risk of criminal charges... not cool.

The poundshop thing again eh..it s recurrent in your posts, is that where you can afford to shop

I'm also a big fan of the diazepam and in Lao no questions asked I always take about 20 x 10 Mil. Back with me and like Betty I pop 1 or 2 dependant on how many bevvs I've had prior to boarding and find the alcohol diazepam mixture is quite conducive to a nice snooze in cattle class on sir Asia despite setting next to , occasionally what can only be described as the unwashed. I've never bothered to have a proscription for them to show Incase the somchai takes issu e but I guess I should from now on.

If you get it from a hospital pharmacy then just ask for a doctor's note/prescription - they'll give it to you (maybe 100 baht?); it's worth it.

As many of us, I've flown in and out of the Middle East, SE Asia, other on xanax/diazis, so it's wel worth carrying a doctor's note just in case. If it's prescribed then the note is available...

^ sounds reasonable. Will give it a go next time.

We use a .....Medication Passport

Guess that works the same way, but might look more "official" and some are very fond of a few stamps and such

10 years ago it was more commonplace. It isn't any longer.

In the early 2000's, I could source Xanax and Valium from almost any Pharmacy. By 2015, it took me a half day of running around before I found a compliant mom and pop shop.

i present as a man of my class should, with a decent hair cut, long but tidy, and with logo free t shirts, pressed button shirts, and with linen or lightweight slacks or uniqlo shorts and of course, proper trainers or sketchers. i am in fact, a very hansum man.

Slacks ?

Fucken poofter.

The script deets printed on the box was ok for US customs with my meds (xanax being one of them) on my trip last month.

you are not only an australian, but also a manual labourer and as such you will have the dress sense, bodily odour and demeanor of a homeless tramp and you are therefore hardly qualified to comment on the dress sense of your superiors. and the same goes for that thug fondles.

Trousers is generally a term for pants that have a matching jacket, though the term "pants" is used as well. Slacks, as I said above, are "dressy" without being formal, and do not have a matching jacket. Jeans, on the other hand, are jeans.

...and linen is celebrated for its exceptional breathability and moisture-wicking properties. the fabric allows air to circulate freely, making it ideal for hot weather. its natural thermoregulation properties help keep one cool and comfortable in warm climates. and linen's moisture-wicking ability draws perspiration away from the skin, especially during hot and humid conditions.

so stick that in one of your cargo shorts pockets and piss off.

^ Linen is all that. Main problem is after a couple of hours in humidity, you look like a homeless person. It wrinkles and stretches pretty fast!

some can carry off any look successfully.

some cant.

I saw a very famous Japanese movie star once who was sporting a linen jacket. It was a mess. If he could wear it without shame, anyone should be able to.
