Hello!

We had a busy day today! We visited another hospital here in Chiang Mai, then we visited the Lay's chip plant where they make potato chips. The hospital was impressive, and we saw how busy hospital pharmacies are here in Thailand. The outpatient pharmacies fill over 1000 prescriptions daily.

Pharmacists actually work at food plants, such as the Lay's factory, and are in charge of inspections for food safety. Pharmacists obviously don't do that in the United States. I thought it was cool that pharmacists have a larger role here in regards to food safety. They wouldn't allow us to take pictures so I can't post any!

We also visited a dental clinic where the same pharmacist (Public health officer) does inspections. His job is to ensure the advertisements are legitimate for their operation, the building is safe, and cost for services is fair.

Enjoy these pictures I took today! Talk to you tomorrow!
