Cheers dude I have heard a rumor that optimum is floating around out here too, but it hasn't materialized. I would love to get my hands on some, I'll never stop looking. If you find out, please send a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKDUDE Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I use optimum whey 10lbs, thinking if i should bring one or two with me? Are there any shop selling popluar protein products? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofdelusion Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The Fit Club in Patong sells a 100% whey protein isolate. I don't know if that's what your after. The owner is American, and may have access through his supplier for you if you want something different. On Rhat u Thit across from Christin massage, next to waterworld.

Jared Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Optimum whey protein is by far the best protein shake avalible. Ive seen it sold at my gym but for over twice the price from the UK. Hopefully soon im going to import a years supply from America, might be worth looking into yourself if your here long term.

Im currently half way through a tub of Musashi Creatine/Protein mix that i got from the GNC store in tesco pretty crap compared to Optimum . It cost me $73.00 for 10.3LBS (4.7kg) bags with zipper in Dubai , why it's so expensive in UK? I know in US, one should get them for $50.00 only Are there any other supplement store with US products in Bangkok beside GNC stores ? If not, i might have to carry two of these bagss with me, which last for a month each Edited May 2, 2007 by BKKDUDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For stores id say find biggest gym you can they should stoke US brands . Edited May 2, 2007 by scottD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im currently half way through a tub of Musashi Creatine/Protein mix that i got from the GNC store in tesco pretty crap compared to Optimum . I have always been a big optimum fan - it tastes great but I realised it isn't all that high in protein and it costs too much here. I tried to bring it in myself but got caught at the ariport and had to pay 2500 tax! I stick with the Musashi whey isolate and get it from Don's gym in Phuket. It is never as creamy cos it has no fat or carbs but it is the best quality by far. The Musashi used to taste awful but the flavour is better now. Not cheap but worked out better than the optimum after I included the customs duties at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deestheman Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi, I have a source for Optimum products in Phuket. I just got some for myself yesterday. Really good stuff Let me know if anyone is interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good stuff Let me know if anyone is interested! I think even with the 37% customs duty its still cheaper to import from the US then to buy it in Thailand. 10 lbs optimum cost with 37% duty about 3800 baht. I havent seen cheaper protein in Thailand anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen cheaper protein in Thailand anywhere. It's not really the brand that matters but the protein level as all the whey comes from a couple of big global companies. Optimum does taste good but that doesn't mean it is great for you. I bought 20kg of pure whey from www.thaisupplements.com for 13k. No problems with customs and overseas deliveries. No flavour though but I can make a different shake depending on what i feel like. It is higher protein content than Optimum, EAS etc too (80% v 70-75%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it isnt the brand that counts its the fact that protein is real expensive in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anyone interested in buying the 20 kg together with me ? 10 kg i can manage in half a year but 20 kg is a bit too much. If anyone is interested we could buy it together for 6500 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
