Does anyone know where my other half, can get hold of Olbas Oil in bkk.as she ha bad flu and i said this would help about .

I know Olbas Oil very well from Germany and the UK and I've used it for years - but I haven't seen it in Thailand. Almost identical is "Kwan Loong Oil" which you'll find in any pharmacy here. Look for a tall and thin white carton with green/black print.

Happy to help. I also highly recommend "Golden Cup" balm - really helps to clear the head, nose etc. Small cube-shaped orange box. Nice aroma and way better than Tiger Balm or the other one with the old Chinese guy's head on it that you see everywhere here.

'Siang Pure' is another very well known favourite..

(this is the one with 'the old chinese guys head' on the packaging)

So it is - and I'm suitably embarrassed by my appalling description (just couldn't remember the name and I don't use it now that I found the other one)
