How can I obtain Zolpidem/Ambien in Pattaya?

John-Paul ******

It is supposed to be a controlled substance requiring a DR prescription..... however..... be careful you gets legit product. A local clinic is best bet but over the counter is not advised.

Why are Beam scooter riders being fined in Thailand?

@Michael *****

by whom? The thai police? They are far too busy playing on their phones.... or just not caring. Getting booked? Only when the other tea money scans fail. Thais don't like or trust the local plod.

When will Thailand remove the Test and Go restrictions for backpackers?

Travel insurance is far different than what they are actually wanting. Besides $50k for a holiday person? Now if you are staying here long-term then of course health insurance is a good idea.... but "required"?

Lighten up. Covid is still here and until medical science produces a vaccine that immunizes us from even catching Covid and its mutations (the present vaccines can only protect you from needing further hospital stay). Simply put... we are all going to have to learn to live with things. Getting vaccinated is essential for everyone.
