* '''You can buy birth control''' in nearly all the pharmacies (that are not herbal pharmacies) in Bangkok. Some reputable pharmacies are Boots, Watsons, P&F, Fascino, Siam Pharmacies and Chulalongkorn University's Pharmacy. It's also recommended to buy from pharmacies that have aircon since the drugs are preserved in cooler/better 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. However, if you prefer a more hands-on appointment with a doctor, you can visit Bumrungrad (Suk. Soi 1), Bangkok Hospital (Soonwijai off Petchburi Rd) or BNH (Soi Convent off Silom Road). For less expensive, go to Bangkok Christian on Silom Road. | * '''You can buy birth control''' in nearly all the pharmacies (that are not herbal pharmacies) in Bangkok.

* The contraceptive ring (Nuvaring) does not appear to be available in Thailand.

* If you want '''condoms''', they are easy to find in most pharmacies. One restaurant, Condoms and Cabbages, even gives out free condoms (Sukhumvit 12 Alley, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand). Note that Thai condoms run on the smaller side. As TravelFish wrote, "But for those who think they might be… well-endowed… you may wish to bring your x-large condoms from home" (Source: [https://www.travelfish.org/orientation_detail/thailand/bangkok_and_surrounds/bangkok/bangkok/121 Travelfish - What to Bring with You to Bangkok]). | * If you want '''condoms''', they are easy to find in most pharmacies.
