Thinking about applying through the medical route, appreciate any help.

I need ongoing cardiology/pathology appointments and checkups for a pre-exisiting chronic genetic condition, so this could be a good option for me.

Anyone applied through this route successfully with the London embassy? I'm back in the UK atm.

Thinking about booking future appointment for my condition with a Bangkok hospital and using that, thoughts? Don't want to waste £s with an app that could get rejected. Some people said they presented treatment plans? not sure how that would work if you haven't yet had the initial consultation

Thanks for any help

Hi all.

I ask quite often for advice on here and I am absolutely delighted with the responses I received both positive and negative.

I wrote in December asking for advice on my fathers medication and I am happy to report that we applied for and received permission to bring my fathers medication into Thailand particularly some medication classed as narcotics.

I would like to reach out and ask for some further advice about obtaining oxygen for my father.

Can anyone advise how to obtain oxygen for my father should it be required.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge

Hey guys. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with getting asthma prevention inhalers (things like, symbicort or seretide)? I'm not desperate for one, but may need one over the next month. I have asked in one or two pharmacies (I showed them the physical pumps) and they said that they don't have them.

Is this something I need to go to a clinic for? Do they use a different brand inhaler here (which would explain why they don't recognise symbicort or seretide)?

Any help would be appreciated (I'm in BKK btw).
