Need help with pain medication for major surgery

I have a hysterectomy planned back in the states but my gynecologist, covered with my specific insurance, who I have been seeing for years says she doesn't prescribe any opiod medication. My pain tolerance is low, im old, and I was wondering if I can get some from Bangkok while I'm here so I can use it after my surgery. I don't know any names for these kind of medications I only know that post op in hospital they use hydromorphone or whatever. What are medications called that are strong enough for major surgery pain that I can ask a pharmacist and what would be the pharmacies I can go to with these medications..I would really appreciate if someone told me. I've never taken anything ever than tylenol-C so I'm not sure. submitted by /u/krazykatz123 [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/dBWXiE7 Bangkok Hotel Deals

Why are the canals and river so underused in Bangkok?

In many cities, the river is usually the highlight of the city. You're often able to walk/bike the length of it, there are parks/plazas to bring people together, lots of eateries and other interesting features. In Bangkok, the river boats are kinda neat and there are a few isolated areas popping up that you can walk and stay, but by and large a lot of the river is off limits. Same story with canals. In a lot of cities that are lucky enough to have canals, they're often very pretty with some of the city's best architecture lining them, flowers and other things to make them more beautiful and also a place where people would walk/bike (I guess Netherlands would be the most obvious example of highlighting your canals). But in Bangkok, these areas are often an afterthought and often extremely dirty. Finally, a somewhat related question. Is Ong Ang River Walk pretty much dead these days? I've seen old videos where it looked very vibrant, with lights, decorations, live mus...

Best area for Introverted Expat

I'm looking to spend all of May and June in Bangkok. I'm an introverted engineer from Canada. Looking to rent an Airbnb condo, go to a co-working space daily, and find a good gym to get back in shape, all while eating some great Thai food. Where would you recommend I book an Airbnb for these two months? It will be my first time returning to Bangkok since my early 20s when I was a backpacker staying in hostels. But now looking for something more relaxed / private with the potential to meet some people in co-working spaces / cafes, and the gym. submitted by /u/Longjumping-Lock-522 [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/bQFyjCv Bangkok Hotel Deals

Any fellow artist or sculptors in Sathorn area?

Just moved to Bangkok three days ago. From Norwich. If you’re into old school music like myself or if you’re into wrestling. Or, someone, who collect vinyl records or if you’re a fellow artist who love to paint and sculpt I’m sure we will get along just fine. I’m also setting up a mini workout place in a spare bed room so, I’m also looking for a workout buddy too! submitted by /u/Traditional-Pick6478 [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/uJe8Sfx Bangkok Hotel Deals

Dermaplaning

Is dermaplaning not a thing in Bangkok? Anyone know of any clinics? Called a couple and had no luck. Also, they seemed offended when I asked if they had any sister/partner aesthetician they could recommend based on dermatologists on YouTube doing that all the time. submitted by /u/sweetNbi [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/yna2Qsj Bangkok Hotel Deals

Club buddies to get a table?

So I’m not a fan of standing at the club especially if you’re there for a longer time. It gets tiring especially if you’re walking to the club. Anyone here wanna go half on a table? They’re usually around 4k baht submitted by /u/Leading_Restaurant77 [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/bE3t8SM Bangkok Hotel Deals

Halal food

So I’m assuming the halal community in Bangkok Reddit forum is possibly small but this question is free to answer by anybody. Do anyone know any good restaurants that are halal or have halal options in the city so let’s say in the range of Rama 3 Silom Siam and Sukhumvit (except nana). Eventhough Im local feels like I’m missing out a lot and been cycling through 5 restaurants in whole of Bangkok. submitted by /u/-CYTOKINESIS- [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/23oQ7pf Bangkok Hotel Deals

FBI clearance report for Non O retirement visa in Thailand

I thought read that I (US citizen) over 50 needed FBI clearance if I apply for a Non O retirement visa while in Thailand. As I recall I can get the finger print card from the US embassy and have Thai immigration take my prints and then send them to the FBI in the US. I asked this question on a Thai retirement website and they stated it wasn’t needed and want a second opinion. Many thanks. submitted by /u/Low-Speed-6421 [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/mqJwXFh Bangkok Hotel Deals

Cheaper but new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

I was at the Samsung store at EmQuartier mall and was shocked to still see the cheapest S23 Ultra priced at 44,000 baht. I'm looking to upgrade from my S22 Ultra. Anyway, is there another trustworthy location that's selling new Samsung phones at a cheaper price? I know the S24 series is out too and they had it but it was more expensive anyway. submitted by /u/ncubez [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/aeMfhGT Bangkok Hotel Deals

Service charge and VAT

Do all the restaurants at malls have service charge and VAT? I dont mean food courts. I visited few malls in last few days and all had both service charge and VAT on top of already quite high prices submitted by /u/TheGregoryy [link] [comments] The Bangkok Community https://ift.tt/3gl9Uxb Bangkok Hotel Deals
