I'm playing this new board game
'remove duplicate, unneeded, useless medicine .'
I'm down to two per day, plus a multivitamin.

The ear-nose-throat doctor diagnosed acid reflux  and advised not to lay down for up to four hours after a meal. Did some further reading.  Taking a walk after a meal helps digestion. Rabeprazole  (30 day supply 1,000 THB) has replaced miracid and / or omeprazole.

Thailand Dangerous: Consider the source

Thailand  riskiest holiday destination according to a travel insurance company
"...Thailand accounted for 23 percent of travel insurance claims made in 2017..." thaivisa.com
All this article tells me for certain that people visiting Thailand have the foresight to have appropriate insurance for the holiday. Accidents do happen, even more so when travelers indulge in risky sports and other behaviors
Tourism supposedly is 9-12% of the Thai GDP. I suspect it's a lot more than that.


Thailand's roads are the most dangerous in the world
 Leave your expensive jewelry secured at home. Don't flash the cash in your wallet. Carry only cash for the day.  Make sure you pack plenty of common sense.  Choose streetfood with foresight. Hot freshly cooked or fruit which you can peel. Don't accept free food or drinks  while on the road
