You can buy birth control in nearly all the pharmacies (that are not herbal pharmacies) in Thai cities. 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 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. For local recommendations on which hospitals/clinics to visit for consultations, visit our city pages, like the [[Bangkok]] and [[Chiang Mai]] pages.
 
* Some '''birth control pill brands''' that you can expect to see in Thailand are AnNa, Anteovin, Cerazette, Diane-35, Eugynon, Exluton, Gynera, Jeny-FMP, Lo-Femenal, Logynon, Lyndiol 50, Marvelon 21, Marvelon 28, Meliane, Mercilon 21, Microgest ED, Microgynon, Minulet, Miranova, Nordette-28, Nordette-21, Yasmin and Yaz.
Note: Nuvaring does not appear to be available in Thailand. It was imported in the past, but this is no longer the case.
* The '''contraceptive ring (Nuvaring)''' is not available in Thailand as of 2017. However, it was imported previously and perhaps will be again in the future.
 
* '''Condoms''' are easy to find in most pharmacies. One restaurant in Bangkok, [http://www.pda.or.th/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.  
There are some international birth control brands, like Cerazette (mini-pill).
* Brands of the '''birth control shot''' available in Thailand include Contracep, Depo-Gestin ANB, Depo-Progesno, Depo-Progesta, Depo-Provera, Depo-Medeton, and Noristerat.
 
* '''Contraceptive implants''' are available, with brands such as Implanon, Jadelle, and Norplant.
You can IUDs inserted at hospitals.
* Both Mirena (hormonal) and copper '''IUDs''' can be found in Thailand. King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (1873, Rama 4 Road., Pathumwan, Bangkok, 10330, +6622564000 has been recommended as a relatively inexpensive place to buy IUDs and have them inserted.
 
Condoms 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]).
