Can anyone point me toward a supplier of first aid kits? I cannot find anything here?

Where are you living?

I have seen at some of the larger pharmacies at Victory Monument BKK have for sale.

Large farmacies will have them, Tesco and BigC alo have some small boxes with some betadine, etc.

Almost any supermarket will have them; often in the Buddhist provisions area.

There are none here that are decent for the average consumer. I looked everywhere for one before I departed on a motorbike trip a month ago and had no lock. I purchased a clear plastic zipper bag and went to Tesco and then Boots and made my own kit which turned out better than any one I ever purchased.

Bumrungrad sells an excellent one. We bought it a few years ago for 600 THB, and kept it updated.

I've found most of the first aid kits here not adequate (small ) for what I want and recently bought a plastic seal-able box and went to a good pharmacy and purchased different items that I personally felt that I needed for both traveling and one for the house on our land .

There's a guy up in Ubon who's developed a pretty comprehensive first aid kit, along with his Thai wife who runs a pharmacy. I bought one, baht 1,087 including EMS charge.

It weighs about 1.8 kg so not the smallest one available but good to carry along in the car, which'd make it handy at home, too. I'll add a few odds and ends myself.

Details below, and more at the url, which is a pretty long thread.
