Is it permissable to bring in "Vitamin V"; or more accuately, Kamagra, rather than buy in Thailand.
... LOS-V... you might find useful intel in a more relevant thread, where I will offer a few comments... go to "Health Matters - Viagra / Cialis / Levitra - Thai Doctors Who Will Prescribe?"

... congratulations to the Airports Authority of Thailand and State Railways of Thailand on a job well done... the rail system serving the international airport opens, what, about 3+ years AFTER the airport!?... with the Thai laser focus on precision planning (the BTS, Hopewell, etc.), it was not really so hard to see this coming, well in advance of the airport construction commencement.
... bravo, braaavo!
... it just goes on, and on, and on... but, I guess it is the best they can do.
(... my cynical rant for the day... can't seem to keep from spilling forth when I read about total abject corruption and incompetence as this)

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 23 August 2010 :-
SRT rolls out Airport Rail Link today ( Monday 23 August 2010 )
===============================================
The 28km Airport Rail Link begins full commercial operations today to reduce travel time between the inner city and Suvarnabhumi airport in Samut Prakan.
The rail link will charge promotional fares until the end of the year on its city and express lines. It expects to serve up to 50,000 passengers a day.
The service has been operating on a trial basis since June 1, attracting about 17,000 people a day travelling for free.
State Railway of Thailand (SRT) governor Yutthana Thapcharoen yesterday led an inspection of the rail link and its facilities to ensure it was ready for commercial services.
Mr Yutthana insisted the link "is definitely good to go".
"It is the fastest rail system in the country," he said.
"It is convenient and provides [a quality] service."
Mr Yutthana said the SRT would ask the cabinet to raise the registered capital of a subsidiary firm to run the rail link from 500 million baht to 2 billion baht.
Transport Minister Sohpon Zarum is scheduled to inspect the rail link today to see if there were problems that needed to be fixed.
"I heard the train had a glitch and had to go back to Phaya Thai station," the minister said.
"That kind of thing can make passengers miss their flights."
Passengers using the City Line, the all-stops line, will pay a flat rate of 15 baht for a trip during the promotion period. The line, which operates from 6am to midnight, takes 30 minutes to travel from Phaya Thai station to Suvarnabhumi airport.
Those using the Express Line will pay 100 baht for a trip. It takes 15 minutes to travel from Makkasan station to the airport non-stop. It also operates from 6am to midnight.
Fares for the City Line will range from 15 baht to 45 baht, depending on the distance travelled, after Jan 1, 2011, while the fares on the Express Line would rise to 150 baht.
Passengers would be able to check in their baggage at Makkasan station for transfer to their airline once the service was fully operational.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 3 September 2010 :-
Express rail makes life easier for commuters between Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport
================================================
These days you can get to Suvarnabhumi Airport from downtown Bangkok in quick time thanks to the Airport Rail Link (ARL), a rapid train ride on elevated tracks 28 kilometres long inaugurated last week.
It can deliver you there in 30 minutes, or even half that time. For commuters, here are some vital tips.
The ART comprises of a City Line and Express Line.
The City Line spans Phaya Thai district in the heart of Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi. With stops on the route, it connects the two points in 30 minutes, while the Express Line operates non-stop between neighbouring Makkasan to the airport, covering the distance in only 15 minutes. Both the lines operate 6am to midnight.
Makkasan is the ARL terminus on Asok-Din Daeng Road. Those arriving there by taxi or private car should proceed to the third floor from where it is convenient to haul luggage to the ticket counter and move on to the platform.
But if you are taking the MRT subway, Exit 3 of its Phetchaburi stop is the nearest access point to Makkasan. But then you need to cross a road and railway line, after which walk some 200 metres to get to the Express Line's platform.
The Makkasan station will soon have an airline check-in facility where passengers can leave their baggage, which will be delivered to them at the airport.
The Express Line, operating at 30-minute intervals, is offering a promotional fare of 100 baht for a round-trip between the city and airport, but it is only good for the same day.
As for the City Line, trains depart every 15 minutes. The net result: the City Line, with stops along the route, seems busier than Express Line.
To facilitate passenger inter-change between the BTS Skytain and the ARL a bridge has been built at Phaya Thai station connecting the two services.
The ARL station at Phaya Thai has public toilets and a place for changing diapers for babies. Another station in the network equipped with such a facility is the one at Makkasan.
The station at Ratchaprarop is handy for commuters in the shopping hubs of Ratchaprasong and Pratunam. It has stairways on both sides connecting passengers to the road below, and an elevator and escalator to its west facing Indra Regent and Baiyoke hotels.
On the western side of Ramkamhaeng Road, a stone's throw from Khlong Tan intersection, is the next ARL station, close to the road, hence very convenient for commuters, as opposed to Hua Mak station, where they need to walk around 200 metres from Srinakarintara Road to access the station.
Parking space is available at all ARL stations but inadequate, except for the Makkasan station where there is a parking facility which can accommodate 300 cars once it is completed. Until then, you can park there at random. However, over-night parking is not allowed.
All stations are well-equipped with escalators and elevators, handy for passengers with luggage in tow.
Riding the City Line, passengers high on luggage should go for the head or tail car where there is plenty of space. Also available is a lost-and-found service, which I found handy.
As it turned out, I was able to retrieve my bag just an hour and quarter after having informed the authorities that I had lost it at Suvarnabhumi Airport. It was found and delivered to Phaya Thai station for me.
During the ride, the announcement system keeps passengers informed of stops on the route with connections to trains run by the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), but the whole exercise seems futile given the distance separating ARL stations and those the SRT connects.
But if you do need to connect to SRT's eastern line, best is get off at Ban Thap Chang station where the ARL and SRT stations sit next to each other.
