BANGKOK: -- The Five Pagodas Pharmacy has reiterated it’s flagship “Five Pagodas” herbal powder product is not banned by the Netherlands.

 

Instead, it said people who want to bring the product into the Netherlands need to display Thai official permit to the Dutch officials first.

 

The company’s managing director Surasee Hengsakul issued a clarification on Sept 14 after the Department of Agriculture advised Thai citizens need to seek it’s permission before they can bring the herbal powder into the Netherlands.

I hope the Thai certificate has to be translated, checked by the Ministry of Foreign affairs and then presented to the Netherlands embassy who will charge about 2,000 baht each person, each time.

You're sure of that 2K charge, are you?

I admit it @HerbalEd

 

When I made my humorous post I didn't contact the Netherlands embassy to check the facts.

 

It would have been futile anyway.

 

Everyone at the embassy would have been busy eating bread with chocolate sprinkles on it.
