Conjunctivitis

Just woke up with red eye, it started last night, very bad timing as I'm due to go to Siem Reap tomorrow by bus.

Is there a standard treatment here that the pharmacists will dispense, or should I make my way to a hospital?

If hospital, which one?

TIA.

Visa agents in Siem Reap?

Hi,

Any recommendations for decent visa agents in Siem Reap, other than Consultancy Cambodia?

Not getting the answers from them (they are highly recommended, not saying anything bad about them), but I just want to get some other opinions.

TIA.

Re: Experienced logistics company needed for bringing goods in via Poipet?

Hi Richard, It will be a regular thing. We have a company operating in Thailand and would like to bring the goods into Cambodia to sell, but they are too bulky for a car, they will need to be on a truck of some sort as the longest box is nearly 3m in length. I'm guessing there are companies that spe...

Re: Blood Thinners?

This one has a massive range of stuff but is always super busy - to get served you need to just push to the front of the counter and give them a piece a paper with what you want on it (or a note on your phone). https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Chan+Penh+Vong+Pharmacy/@11.5555141,104.9121646,21z/d...

Thai drivers license - is it valid for insurance purposes?

Is the Thai (5 year) drivers license valid for renting cars long term here and will it cover you if you have a crash?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Cash and carry Makro ready for business in Phnom Penh

Gonna bring this one back from the dead... Earlier in the thread a poster said that they just walked in and shopped without needing a card, is that still the deal there? In Thailand you ask for a day pass and they give you a little scannable laminated card that you hand to the cashier before she rin...

Interesting - thanks for this.
