To one and all who gave me suggestions here....Thank you. I have gone to all the places mentioned here and found the service friendly and fast . the prices are excellent and I find the quality the same as anywhere else. The only pharmacy I had any problem was the one on the northeast corner of second and central road. The pharmacist seemed offended that I asked for Cali's and pointed rather indignantly to a sign that said prescription required. Now to piggyback on another thread, about tipping and this is generally about health care.... The dentist on the 4th floor of central plaz

I am glad to hear the positive assessments. I have had negative experiences in other parts of the world with my former colleagues on group passes. Here is to looking forward to the guys having a good time. They do deserve it.

I was kind of hoping to avoid that. How long is their leave until they depart?

Where and how do you get the discount card?

Thanks to all for all the great information. Luckily, the medication I take regularly is the most common and least expensive world wide. At least now I know there are decent sources for my needs in and around Pattaya and can concentrate on my wants, Right now the want list includes steak, lobster, cold beer and hot women.

A very sensible answer but I am not coming from the USA. Actually I have not been in the USA for about 4 years. Usually I get my needed meds in Dubai but this time I will not have time to stop in town. Usually the pharmacy in the airport has what I need, but I wanted a back up plan. The available medications in Afghanistan for me are very limited as in emergency supplies only. Good to know about Dr. Oliver. Thanks.

For all you expats out there, which Pharmacy would be best to buy regular drugs? Which one is stocked the best and which one has the best prices. Nothing exotic, I will need to stock up on diabetes, antibiotic and blood pressure meds. Thanks and see you all soon. This is starting to be the longest week in my life. Oh the anticipation. K

A bonus for Jollibee's is if you really want to assure a GFE take your BG there. Just my humble opinion, but it has never failed me.

I don't know. When I leave Afghanistan, all that crap tastes pretty good to me.

I thought the capacity was always one more

You just hit home in north central Pennsylvania. I cannot help you with the labels but are you selling the pickels yet? I have not been home in a long time and I bet they are real close to what I remember buying at the farmer's market. Do you make anything else of interest?

To take part in this discussion. This is not a scam it is an illegal business. That being said it is a business and I have never known the businss owners to not take care of their complaints. I wish some other businesses would stand behind their products as well as the pirate movie dealers. For argument sake, it would be a scam if they were selling the movies as originals not copies. They actually like to brag about how good their copies are. The OP's advice for tourists to make sure what they are getting is good advice. My only disagreement is this is not a scam. Now for

Rosie O'Grady's has always been a definite stop for me. The service is good and so is the food. But, what I really like about the place is that I can enjoy a nice quiet hassle free beer either before, during or after the beer bars. The staff has always been friendly to me and I never had to wait very long for a refill. On my next trip I will be a frequent visitor for a quiet breather during my rounds. Has anyone stayed in their rooms? Every time I have tried to book in the past there is always no vacancy?

I think it would be a good type of hotel while on an extended layover near the airport. It would also be a very nice deluxe short time hotel with a deluxe price. I cannot see such a small room being more than 1 or 2 nights acceptable.

Thanks! The thing about Long Island Ice Teas are that if the first one is not very good, the second is always better.
