Previously, I had bought PrEP some years ago at Pulse clinic in Pattaya. A few weeks ago, after a successful negotiation with the wife for a P4P trip (Bangkok in August), I emailed Pulse and explained I couldn't come to Pattaya, but I had a negative HIV test and normal kidney function test - and then asked if I could buy the Teno-EM I had bought before online. They did not have that particular brand but a different generic Tenof-EM (!) and it cost 1,100 baht (with 200 baht for delivery). Took 3 days to get here (Thailand, up norf). I am not sure if that's the normal online price or if it was because I was a previous customer, but it's worth asking. Earlier, I had found a different price list online and was going to buy but the 'normal' Pulse website required a prescription. I emailed them direct and they sent back a direct link to the purchase page which did not require prescription upload.

I am dreadfully sorry to be that newbie... but.... Despite searching, looking and reading, I am struggling to find out the membership process/how to use the forum efficiently, despite the title of this sub forum. I have clicked on threads that include links to the very pages I (think) I seek; yet every link ends in a 'dead' page, telling me the original page no longer exists, or that I do not have permission to view etc. Back when televisions were black and white and I had yet to discover the world of ladyboys, I was a member of the Pattaya Addicts forum. If I remember correctly, you had to post 50 times to have another part of the forum open up to you. I am not sure what the system is here: I see posts mentioning 5 and some say 50 posts for a similar thing, yet other posts mention 'trusted members' and there is even merry talk of a far flung advanced member's section. Would someone be kind enough to give a brief explanation or point me to a workable link I might read, so that I might understand the processes/expectations better? I am already finding great information, but given I'll be in BKK in August I'd obviously love to be able to get as much information as I can before then. [I am also aware that in my earliest moments on the forum, and under a deluge of information, trying to take everything in, I may have read and forgotten the information I seek, those things that age sometimes does to a man - I don't think so, but sincere apologies if that's the case] Finally, if there is an initial post count, be it 5 or 50 or more, which opens up the forum - how are posts 'counted' i.e. is it only threads created/started? I ask because on my profile it states I have 1 post, though I have written 4 or 5. I am aware that newbie's posts require approval, so maybe the mods are just busy - though if I am doing something wrong I'd appreciate the heads up. Many thanks for your time reading this (and to anyone who replies) - it really is genuinely appreciated. And thanks for all the great contributors - I hope to be able to offer more to the forum during and post-August.

Hello everybody. Familiar with Pattaya but much less so Bangkok. Looking to discover the city in either August or September. Looking forward to reading the forum and learning what I can before then. Cheers!
