I have used these taxis 3 times in July and August this year and it was smooth as you like. No scams.

Around the same time period, I also had a couple of airport taxis refuse to turn on the meter, and I ended up getting out of their taxis.
Since then I have had a taxi driver I know pick me up at the airport so I don't know whether my few bad experiences a few years ago happens much if at all these days. But it was because of a few bad experiences with taxis at the airport that I decided to rely on one taxi I know.
I should add though that just before I settled on one taxi, the government did start a program to clean up the taxi situation at the airport. And from what I gather that program was a success, whether a perfect success or just partial I don't know.

Be very careful in Thailand where drug related offences are treated harshly.

It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA).
Other than that there lots of miss handling of this drug. Addicted peoples using this drug as a substitute of addiction material if not available in hand. More over it helps and causes suicidal attempts too.
Thats why this section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional. Thats why you might be correct not to sell out for some kind of enforcement reason, just need the valid prescription.

Posts: 367A non-mongering observation / question
Went to my usual pharmacist on Sukhumvit to stock up on meds. They provided everything I needed except for Valium. Although they did not say it, it was kinda clear from their body language that they don't do it for some enforcement reason.
Anyone have any info on this? Or where I might get some valium without hassle. I am only looking for a 5 MG strip.

I have stated I buy spare antibiotics as have found some General practioners quite useless and the difficulty of getting doctor appointments in foreign countries where don't speak the language and on an urgent travel schedule.
It is essential to use the correct or siutable antiboitic for the right problem and take them on correct way.
General purpose only means that an antibiotic can be suitable for more than one condition and not every condition. I am not giving medical advice as am not a doctor. I merely say what I do.
Sometimes doctors guess wrong and prescribe the wrong treatment too. Happened to me too many times. If treatment works, its great. If not try again.
I once went to a GP in Germany exoecting them to test what type of infectikn I had. No. Said I would have to go to a specialist to get a test. Gave me eye drops that failed to work. They guessed wrong. Waste of time for me. Their guesswork was no better than mine. Azithromycin potentially could have worked if I got lucky. I had to put up with eye infection longer than necessary because of wrong treatmemt and no test to find out what it was.
A later treatment worked Gentamycin drops but I never found out what my infection was.
There do exist other problems where correct treatment is more obvious

I used to take the express airport train until that stopped running. Carrying my luggage on the normal airport train all the way to Phaya Thai station and then on the Skytrain to Asoke station was too much of a bother (and I'm not getting any younger either).
So of all the times I took a taxi from the airport to my hotel near Asoke, I doubt if the meter showed a price that was 50 bath more or less than the other taxis charged me and those differences could be easily explained by traffic jams or other deviations that are a fact of life in Bangkok.
I found most taxi-drivers courteous and willing to please. The few that suggested a "fixed price" would immediately relent after a polite "mai khrab" and "Please use the taximeter". None even tried to make unnecessary detours to rack up the price.

Bacterial infections can be gram negative, gram positive. Or a phage interactive infection. Have any 'bad symptom thing' tested (so cheap and fast to do) and get prescribed the appropriate remedy.

I can't predict infections. Could be eye infection, could be cuts or burns. I am not thinking of STDs in particular. If have a problem I consult internet to see if any of them might work well, and sometimes they do.
I have not made a habit of BB other than with long term GF and with another longer term almost GF. However getting an STD is still possible. Have had Chlamydia unexpectedly in my life, despite using condoms for sex. Its very easy to transmit.
I expect risks in Thailand are significant. My buddy went BB and had Gonor. In his first week here. You can get a dose pretty quick if you try hard.
As I have a GF I don't want her to get a dose of something.

Also, makes me think that as a frequent P4 P member in Asia and Germany you must consider there is a risk. This is obvious of course but I wondered why as it is clear you are sensible, practice safe sex, so I assume you must consider oral sex to be the risk.
As an aside, are you more or less concerned when in Asia than in Germany or does it not matter to you where you are as you think the risk is no higher or lower?
