This is the horse medicine, right?

You might have better luck posting in the plants, pets & vets forum.

Believe I found over a decade ago but have not noticed since. Do not remember where but believe it was a mall type drug store. The Chinese/Thai creams seem to work well for bug bites.

Two types of local Thai medicines, widely available: 1) green greasy salve, strong eucalyptus aroma (much like Vicks), in small round bottles, very good for all bug bites, even those large nasty black ants; 2) glass spray bottle of citronella labeled "mosquito repellant", also feels good after a bite. Both very cheap and effective.

It's called "sairn buk" (แซน บัค)

Very good at relieving insect bite ichiness. Available at all chemists.

Go buy some Tiger balm. Do you farang actually believe that Thailand or any other country should have exactly what you had at the 7-11 down the street in your hometown?

Makes me certain I wanted to live far away from you all.

Try toothpaste, menthol or spearmint, also regular liquid dish soap.

Also to extraxt the venom from a bug bite, try equal parts of brown sugar and liquid dish soap, make a paste and apply--- Believe me it works.
