TaaSaparot Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Anyone seen 'OFF' Mosquito Repellant for sale anywhere lately. None in the usual Supermarkets, and it was never really an item stocked by the Pharmacies. Really hoping that it has not gone the way of Autan and the other Repellents that actually worked, but disappeared from Thailand. All the others do not work, and/or stink of Citronella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post banglay Posted January 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2020 I bought 2 cans of "OFF" on Thursday 23/1 at Tesco lotus on the Sukhumvit Pattaya Tai .. and they still had a few cans left on the shelf . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I must admit couldn't find it at one or two places, but did in BigCX. I don't think they are good at maintaining stock here...I was all over the place looking for my Lea and Perrins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Sketolene sold at 7/11 is plainly a tourist trap. And often out of stock....well not any more as tourists are dwindling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Usually at 7/11 or Tesco, but as already mentioned not always available. If I do see some I usually buy 3 or 4 cans, and start looking again when I start the last can. Never run out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tounge Thaied Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 This one works for me every time. The Sketolone one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendship has a decent selection actually, including Off but in cream form. But alas no Off Active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWRC Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I bought 2 cans last week at Big C. They quite often run out of stock and there can be a couple of weeks before restocking, you have to keep checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do remember this happening with OFF before about 3-4 years ago. It was around 80-90 baht at that time, then it disappeared off the shelves for some time, then suddenly returned with a different packaging and was now around the 130 baht price range. I remember I then found some at the Cash & Carry type place off Photisan at the old price, so I bought all that they had. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookiescot Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I always use this stuff. Never been bitten while wearing it. It also repels bargirls and village tramps. Got it from Macro. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaaSaparot Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, I got a reply from SC Johnson's Consumer Relationship Center, who do not understand why I having difficulty in finding the item, and have confirmed that they continue to distribute it in Thailand. So, I guess that is good news and it is just a blip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
