I am living in phrom phong on my first weeks of my 90 day non-0 retirement visa. Everything is in good order except my back! My lower back is out of whack with pain. Of the things on my list I have yet to do, one is get thai health insurance.

Does anyone that has related experience suggest whether I go to a chiropractor with a good reputation (Healing Art on soi 24?) or hospital (Samitivej)? With either I would expect initial imaging to determine the problem. Thanks for any advice. Note this is not asking medical advice but if you use a chiropractor do you recommend that here or recommend hospital physical therapy, etc.

Update: I was able to get the price from Medisafe. Thanks to all for the help.

Hi, my family and I are moving to Thailand next year, and I've been working through all the logistics. I've been trying to get a rough estimate of what our various prescriptions will cost, and I've got most of them figured out well enough, except one. My mom has Parkinson's and takes a medication called Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa). Does anyone here have experience filing this medicine and how much it may cost or know a resource I could reach out to for pricing? She goes through around 180 pills per month (6/day).

Any update on dinghy fever vaccine would be great.

I have Type 2 diabetes and will be travelling with my test strips and insulin pens. How easy is it to get strips and insulin pens?

Hi Folks,

I have a very specific question falling under "Everything else". I am planning to move to Thailand (I hope) by the end of the year. However, I have a challenge. I am on a medication that does not seem to be sold in Thailand and needs refrigeration. So, I have a two-part question:

1) Is there anyone taking Emgality and, if so, how are you getting it?

2) For those who have refrigerated medications that are not available in Thailand, how do you bring them in?

Even if I can get the medication elsewhere (the only semi-local option seems to be Singapore and even that will be challenging), I'm concerned about the transport. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi everyone. Would anyone know where I can get a Rapid Antigen test tomorrow afternoon or Monday morning in Chiang Mia. A family member in Australia is unwell and I have a flight Monday 1055am to get back there. Or can I get it at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok as I have 5 hours layover there. Thanks

Technical question. Rumor has it that Thailand has a lower threshold for PCR tests that might catch people recently recovered

I’d like to put fact to this rumor. Does anyone know what CT threshold they use?

Hi all

Got a walk-in Pfizer booster today. I've had 2 previous Pfizer vaccines in US and the last one the 7th of May. So it was time to get booster and thought I would have trouble finding one. Wife found out about the walk in and she found the other posting while we were there! Hope this helps everyone...not a walk-in but you can register here...If it's time for booster and you are sickly try here. Good luck!

If anyone is interested in a booster shot - just got a BioNTech/Pfizer booster at ASIATIQUE The Riverfront in Bangkok. As a walk-in and free of charge.
