Nothing Special News

Post by parrot » October 6, 2021, 1:01 pm

Bangkok Bank in Ngeesoon gone. That follows the closure of SCB/Krungthai banks in Tesco Nadee.

The bridge near Toolpro Toyota is nearing completion. And the fur ball on the ringroad near Index is mostly cleared up as four lanes are open again. Probably more disruptions to follow as the center median is fixed....but looks like the worst is over.

The 1-2 Go 747 that sat idle at the airport for several years before disappearing has now reappeared just down from Chris's Bar on the opposite side, closer to the bus station. One can only imagine what's being planned.......a coffee shop is my guess. How did it get to its new location? Taken apart and moved, I'd guess.

The pharmacy just before Global House (I think frazeed suggested it a few years ago) is closed. That place had about the best prices in town for certain meds. Anyone have a good alternative??

Thanks Mr. Parrot. Greatly appreciated. Few years back i went around looking for the best prices. I found this Wholesale pharmacy on Phon Pisai road 150 m from the Ban Huay market. They had the best prices for Bestatin 40 mg and for Hypercor 5 mg. The shop looks like a garage. They use the farang price system, but still cheaper than others, advice ask your Thai wife or TGF to get your medicines you would save anywhere from 10 t0 20 %.
HELP WANTED... My Sidegra supplier pharmacy in Non Boua market has closed, where is the best place to procure SIDEGRA ?
Thanks.
Stay safe.

Somsak Pharmacy:-
Daughter speaks reasonable English.
If items are not in stock they will get them in for you.
Can order over the phone and get your purchases delivered (suits me in the rice paddies).

Not the cheapest in town but reliable.

Parrot?? Closed permanently or did you not note that it is always closed on Wednesday?? That's a big operation. If they closed at that site they must have moved...
