MY TOP TEN FAVOURITE THAI TV CHARACTERS
I've composed this list for a bit of fun and it's only based on the shows I've watched. Also made it slightly more difficult for myself as I've only chosen to have one character per show. This is sometimes based around character development and sometimes just because I love them sooooo much 🥰
A bit of reasons why but tried to avoid spoilers
Would love to know yours ❤️
1. Pharm (Until We Meet Again)
I've never met a character who is so loveable but has such a tragic back story and then actual story. Fluke also plays him so well
2. Sky (Love in the Air)
Such a kind hearted soul, looks after rain when he has his tantrums yet as such a horrible history when it comes to his ex. To see him slowly come back to life with Pai is amazing
3. Tol (Triage)
Less of a tragic backstory this time but what he has to go through in the space of a week is hard to watch. To see him grow into this loveable character from being so stubborn to start with was fantastic to watch
4. Kim (KinnPorsche)
Not so much a story driven choice just the fact I love him so much and will never get tired to watching Jeff Satur
5. White (Not Me)
So well played by Gun and a great story to boot how could I avoid not having white in my list. His relationship with Sean and his development from nerd to gangsta was just so great.
6. Gun (My School President)
As an ongoing show I'm not going to say to much other than I love him to bits and just think he is the cutest. The story is also good.
7. Phu (10 Years Ticket)
Another ongoing show so won't say alot but the way Ohm plays this character is just phenomenal. I don't condone the things he does to Kongkwan in the show but just find is character fascinating
8. Tian (A Tale of a 1000 Stars)
How can you not like Tian. Escaping the rich lifestyle to help live the dream of someone else but finding his own in the process. Tries to do good so much but ends up making things worse over and over again is hard to watch among other things but I just think he's great. And to see how much effort Mix put in to playing him behind the scenes
9. Ew (The Warp Effect)
Ongoing show so won't say much but Ew is hilarious and very very different from anything I've watched. However, it's great to see how open and proud of who he is and doesn't let anyone put him down
10. Wave (The Gifted)
What a character Wave is. So much mischief and character in someone who doesn't hardly smile. Only negative is that him and Pang should have got together

honestly, being a poc and a woman can be so exhausting sometimes and people don't realize it. i work in a pharmacy where the entire staff are poc and women aside from one white male tech. while I have nothing really bad to say about him, I hate the way the many of the customers treat him versus the rest of us. i can explain prescription/insurance issues to customers and they won't believe me until the white man comes to explain it in the exact same way. same goes for our black pharmacist who actually finished FOUR years of pharmacy school— her pharmacy education is somehow beneath that of a man who has an art degree.
your opinions aren't invalid. I hate the way that white men have shaped society's mindset and it shows most when I go to work.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS !!! i went from working face to face to remotely from home and u would not believe the change in attitude with me when ppl don’t see my face they treat me so much better now that they don’t know what i look like 😐 it’s so rough out here being poc AND women sobs

Whoever thought it was in anyway okay to teach veterinary pharmocology in one semester deserves to be taken out back and shot.
People already have a difficult time learning pharmocology for HUMANS in regular medicine. When they have ONE species to learn about.
Try learning like double if not triple the amount of drugs, now learn them for dogs, cats, horses, cows/ruminants, pigs, and rabbits. Oh and not so fast you silly goose, you thought you just had to learn what drugs work?? Hahahaha how about also learn which ones are safe to use in horses vs cows, oh and which ones are banned in just cows. And which ones are banned in dairy vs beef cows. How longs the withdrawal? Which drugs cant show up in milk or even traces in meat.
Back to horses, figure out which drugs are mislabled too bc the drug companies are too cheap to put in the paperwork to change the indications and just hope your brain can remember which one will straight up kill the hoses if you pfft oh so foolishly believe the INSTRUCTUONS on the drug bottle. Nah those are suggestions. And it'll be your fault too if that horse dies, not the companies for being cheap mega corporations and having incorrect directions that have multiple studies showing how dangerous it is to do this.
Dont even think about giving cats this dog drug, they'll pee out blood until die. Oh but if you remember you can combine it with Y drug just right you can avoid that pesky side effect.
Oh we're using a human drug for dogs now, be careful remember that these 3 of the 4 human drugs for this condition have a different concentration and dose regiment which means you can't use the same needles you use for the other 4 drugs for this condition.
Wanna a drug for this animals condition? Not so fast, remember that if humans handle it they can pass out or this other one that'll cause humans bone marrow to obliterate itself no matter how small the dose, so remember to wear gloves 😊😊.
You want to give this dog effective pain relief, sorry babe you gotta remember humans are dipshits and try siphoning off the drug from their dogs and then inject themselves with it and die :)

Hey! I recently noticed your blog and saw that you work at a pharmacy! I was wondering what your experience was like starting out to now? I recently got a job at retail pharmacy and I am kinda nervous. Thank you so much!
hey anon, thanks for reaching out, and congrats on the new job! retail pharmacy can be a very rewarding experience, though it comes with its ups and downs, and i hope you find it fulfilling.
keep in mind my experiences are probably nowhere near universal, on many fronts: i worked at a canadian chain of pharmacies, and moreover i'm immensely extroverted and have an easier time speaking to people than most. however, i can mostly summarize my work at my store as below:
i started out volunteering as an assistant at a small independent pharmacy because the pharmacist who owned the store was a good friend of my father's, and he offered to give me some guidance in the process. from the beginning i felt like being a pharmacy assistant was very tactile - it's a lot of hands-on work, especially if you're in a small dispensary that doesn't have a lot of machinery or pill counters. the pharmacy where i worked over the past summer was larger and had one pill counter, but we still did a lot of tactile work and counted a lot of medications (controlled medications) by hand.
one thing i think is important to get familiar with is the workflow of the pharmacy. here, we kinda went through the following steps:
data entry - receiving the prescription from the patient, from the fax machine, or directly from the prescriber; entering it into our system; identifying the prescriber, medication, and dosage; wrangling insurance.
filling - after the pharmacist verifies the entry, filling is the physical act of assembling the prescription. this entails finding the correct compound and strength thereof, dispensing the correct number of pills, and packaging. afterwards, it goes to the pharmacist for further verification before it is placed in its little paper bag and put in the outbox, ready for pickup.
transaction - knowing how to use the till to scan a prescription out for the patient, resolving issues with cost/insurance, knowing how to interact with the patient.
of these steps, i think the easiest to get the hang of is filling. i would recommend familiarizing yourself with the layout of the pharmacy as well, to know where different medications are kept, which ones you have in the narcotics safe, which ones need to be counted by hand/double counted, etc.
data entry is a bit trickier, since knowing how to enter the sig/instructions can be hard. there's a lot of abbreviations for different sigs and they aren't really standardized. for example, "once daily" is often written by prescribers as "OD", but that returns "right eye" if you entered it into our system, with "1D" giving "once daily" instead. also, some prescribers simply have utterly incomprehensible handwriting, and those are the REALLY interesting entries.
finally, transaction is a fine balance of knowing how to interact with patients and knowing how to operate machinery. our barcode scanner worked maybe 75% of the time, so i'd have to enter a lot of our transaction numbers manually. it is also the part of the job where you're going to be talking to patients the most, and it will feel more like retail than like pharmacy.
interspersed throughout these tasks are also other ones: sending and receiving faxes, printing medical histories to fax to other pharmacies and healthcare establishments, requesting prescription transfers, and taking calls from patients who just want to refill their prescriptions. you're going to meet a lot of people, and they're going to be varied! some are going to be really cooperative, and some are going to be really rude, and some are going to stay on the phone with you for 45 minutes (and then call back for another 10 minutes the next day to apologize). that's part of the job, and being able to pick up that phone and answer "pharmacy, how can i help?" is a huge step to take, but a really, really important one.
since i had already prior experience with filling during my volunteer position, the tasks that i had to adjust to the most were 1) taking and making calls, 2) data entry, and 3) operating the cash register. i got adjusted to the cash register in about three weeks, data entry in about three weeks, and calling in about two days (again, see the extreme extroversion). for everything else, it was more learning the processes over time. i worked 2-3 days a week for 3.5 months, and now i'm pretty confident i can adjust easily to any new pharmacy setting, with maybe a week to adjust to new software.
don't be afraid to ask your pharmacist and other pharmacy assistants for help, and don't be afraid to communicate with them. it's very helpful for everyone when you alert them that someone's waiting for a prescription, or that a patient has arrived for a flu shot. there's no shame in admitting you're not the most equipped for the job, and directing the concern to someone who can resolve it safely and correctly.
one final word is a bit of advice that my high school english teacher gave me: in any healthcare setting, if you're a provider, you have to stay strong for the patients. they're scared for their health, they just want to be assured that everything will be okay. even if you're also panicking, at least keep a mask of calm; every problem can be resolved with time and a clear head, and it won't help anyone if the patient becomes even more agitated.
best of luck in your new position, anon! i hope you forge strong connections with your colleagues, and i hope your pharmacy experience is a positive one!
