Some reputable pharmacies are Boots, Watsons, P&F, Fascino, Siam Pharmacies and the Chulalongkorn University pharmacy. Buying from pharmacies that have airconditioning is recommended since the drugs are better preserved in cooler environments. While there are some fake pills sold in Thai pharmacies, they tend to be for drugs like Viagra or Cialis. Since birth control is very cheap, it is less likely to be fake. If you prefer to get a prescription rather than buying over-the-counter drugs, suggested clinics include Bumrungrad (Suk. Soi 1), Bangkok Hospital (Soonwijai off Petchburi Rd) or BNH (Soi Convent off Silom Road). Bangkok Christian on Silom Road is a less expensive option. | ||
