Hospital costs

A Thai webpage listing medical costs at a clinic in  Sawang Daen Din.  Listed are prices for services such as x-rays, blood tests, ultrasound and CT scans.   
The writer seems astounded at the cost of medicine. 
Roam the Net! The bill Sakon clinical medicine and check nearly two thousand !! -upyim
Comment: Review the medicines your doctor is prescribing before the prescriptions are filled. Quite often prescriptions are 'padded' with duplicate medicines, just a different manufacturer. Some of these medicines you can purchase over the counter at one third the hospital pharmacy charges.

No smoking, drinking, hugging or kissing in public

Read an article where they are increasing park patrols in Bangkok to curtail teenage hugging and kissing in public.  There were also some outcries a few months ago when some kissing and hugging was witnessed on Bangkok public transportation.   
On the other hand, nothing is wrong if same sex individuals place their hands on your thigh.  I have had that happen a number of times in public and generally considered it as drunken behavior.  If it happens to you, stay calm, politely move away and let them know you're not comfortable with that.  Don't turn it into a confrontation.
Two teenage guys or girls walking down the street holding hands may be perceived by westerners as being gay, but in the majority of cases it's simply a sign of friendship. 
At the beach, bare breasted women, or too revealing g-strings may get a warning or worse.
You'd think a country with an active sex industry, would be a bit more liberal minded in this regard.
Not so.  You just don't do those things in public, or at least not where others can see.
