Just Have To Laugh At Thai Attitude Toward Buying Drugs In Quantity

[phetaroi]

I must admit that the overall situation of buying here in Thailand what in America would be prescription drugs is appreciated.

I do have to laugh at the reactions I sometimes get when I buy a whole box of either of my blood pressure medicines. Yesterday I bought a box of 100 of one of my blood pressure pills I have to take twice a day. This was in one of the pharmacies at the Emporium. They were stunned. Every person who was working in the store -- about 7 girls -- all came over to look. At first they couldn't even figure out how to ring up a box. Why do they think it's smart to walk to a drug store twice a week to buy a med you take long term for years?

How expensive was it?

Thais probably don't carry enough money at any one time to buy in quantity as we do.

Probably because your blood pressure pills are called Viagra

They were just wondering if the farang thought the company making the drugs was going out of business , hence the need to stock up?

Trust me, I don't need Viagra! No one could be more potent that I!
