Whoop, Whoop, Whoop. Medivac chopper
One thing I've always liked about Thailand is that pharmacies treat you like an adult. For all non-narcotic prescriptions I've needed (few, but some), simply walk into the pharmacy, say what you need, and it's [I]over the counter[/I] simple. No prescription needed. You're an adult, if you want to put something in your body, up to you.
With the Covid antivirals, it's different. You do need a doctor's prescriptions. Tried several pharmacies, all said the same thing.
Now, these days, about the last place I want to go is a hospital. I don't want to infect someone in a weakened state, and I certainly don't want to catch something worse from someone in mine. Decide on Camillian Hospital. It's old, been here forever. Nice thing about old, the FRONT door is clearly visible from the street, no wandering around. Walk through the hospital's parking lot, and off to the side of the entrance, there's a tent. All the signs are in Thai, but I'll take the chance, and sure enough, it's a Covid test and exam station. Nurse speaks English, I tell her I'd like a doctor's prescription for an antiviral. Have to wait a couple of minutes as the one person ahead of me finishes processing, then it's my turn. Sit in a chair for the interview. Documentation collected, answering questions, while my vitals are being taken. No fever, no breathing difficulties, blood pressure fine. All the usual stuff. I show the nurse my vaccine card, and she asks with all the vaccinations (5), how could I catch Covid. I answer that's what [B]I[/B] want to know.
Moved over to the doctor's cubicle. Again more medical questions (usual, meds, allergies, etc.). While we're talking they connect the finger oxygen monitor again and ask me to take some deep breaths. Oxygen saturation good. I'm getting a little worried that I might not be sick enough for antivirals. But the doctor says that, given my age, I automatically qualify. So all the snide comments about blue pill popping old men from you young whippersnappers, just know that we also have priority for antivirals. Nah, nah, na, na, nah.
Hospital will fill the prescription, I just have to wait in the well dispersed waiting area. Out comes the credit card machine for payment, and awhile later, the bag of pills.
The doctor did ask if I had fever meds, cough meds, etc. I did, and it seems that they would just offer over the counter meds for all that, with having you isolate at home. All total, took less than 30 minutes, full damages 4400 baht. Will go back next week for a chest x-ray just to be sure.
My guess is that most every hospital will have a similar set-up.
The reason I post this is two-fold:
1. Covid is still out there, lurking, waiting for YOU.
2. If you're under 50, and have only [I]mild[/I] symptoms, just stay home. But if you're over 50, you should qualify for antivirals.
Nana and Soi Cowboy Go-Gos
- I was disappointed by the overall quality of the girls. I like to have a cold beer and look at attractive naked girls. Some girls were decent. None were stunners. Where are the cute coyote dancers. Many girls were ugly.
- Nana had no full nudity. Just topless. The bottom floor was just bikinis. My favorite 2 bars, for looking at topless girls, were Billboard and that bar diagonally across Billboard. That bar might be my favorite at Nana. Girls were decent, and it wasn't as crowded like Billboard.
- In Soi Cowboy, Crazy Girls (or House?) had nudity. Dollhouse had nudity. Long Gun had nudity, but most of the girls were ugly. I like Baccarra because they wear those short skirts without underwear. It's alluring. Suzy Wong had full nudity. Only one girl was decent. At least 1 other club had nudity.
- Crazy Girls seemed to be always packed. I hate sitting check to check with other customers. Observed the following: When it isn't crowded, Baccarra allows you in without making you buy a drink at the outside bar. Then when it gets packed, they made everyone (even the East Asians) buy a drink outside before coming in. I don't like that. If I go into a bar, and it's only check to check sitting, I don't want to go in; I prefer to leave.
Sideline thailand has a lot of stunner at that range
[QUOTE=Dumbc;2761265]Hello folks.
I was a regular on this site but after covid, lost touch and lost my login handleso created this new one. Finally have a trip coming up to Bangkok.
Any recommendation on a couple of good reliable agencies with younger ones (18-24 age group) for outcalls? I certainly enjoyed gogo bars at Nana pre-covid, will try that again but having agencies as backup option will be great. I am afraid that I may not have patience of finding and negotiating on street.
I am aware of smooci that I will try again. Thaitourguide used to be good with younger crowd but that site seems disappointing now and most of them are older ones. Most of the sites I ran into have older crowd. I am only up for Outcalls.
Thank you!![/QUOTE]Sideline thailand has a lot of stunner at that range, similarly they are cheap as well.
