Some reputable pharmacies are Boots, Watsons, P&F, Fascino, Siam Pharmacies and the Chulalongkorn University Pharmacy.

====Testimony 2: December 2018====
Have visited the same as mentioned clinic, which is above Cabbage and Condoms.
The whole procedure was done immediately and took about 1 hour and 30 minutes, from waiting to the procedure and so on.
Price costed about 4100 baht.
Procedure was a bit painful but since, it had to be done, I won’t complain.
