* You can '''buy birth control pills''' in nearly all the pharmacies (excluding herbal pharmacies) in Bangkok. Some reputable pharmacies are Boots, Watsons, P&F, Fascino, Siam Pharmacies and the Chulalongkorn University pharmacy. Buying from pharmacies that have air conditioning is recommended since the drugs are better preserved in cooler environments. To consult a doctor for guidance on birth control, the following hospitals and clinics are recommended: Bumrungrad International Hospital (33 Soi Sukhumvit 3, Khwaeng Khlong Toei Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand), Bangkok Hospital (2 Soi Soonvijai 7 New Petchburi Road Bangkapi Khet Huai Khwang, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10310, Thailand) or BNH Hospital (9/1 Convent Alley Khwaeng Silom, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500, Thailand). The Bangkok Christian Hospital (124 Si Lom, Silom, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500, Thailand) has been suggested as a relatively less expensive option. | * You can '''buy birth control pills''' in nearly all the pharmacies (excluding herbal pharmacies) in Bangkok.
