Morya Pharmacy,

yes is the same, they opened 2 new branches at Christmas 2012 inside both Tesco (Chaweng and Lamai) .

For some drugs I have to take, one in particular, I always use the Morya Pharmacy "Wholesale" located in Maenam, just past the lights heading toward Nathon. That is their Head office, and their prices are less than the other Morya shops.

I also have a 10% off card.

Gai Pharmacy also in Maenam (Soi 4) is hard to beat on some drugs and medications too... but she does not carry all drugs... Great lady though, has a big following of farangs and locals.... Farang price same as locals pay!!! thumbsup.gif (She's in BKK for a few days at the moment... )

Morya head office charged me more then their branches,perhaps your medicine is not available in most branches.

They are the dearest Pharmacy in existence IMHO, how on earth can you charge 700 baht more on some medines? They are no better then the 100 so called optical shops, again a total rip off.

Haven't tried Gais, but if you drive towards the end of Maenam, Joy's ( head office ) pharmacy, very reasonable.

I get all my meds from a pharmacy in BKK that will ship to you at a fraction of Morya's, I take some heavy duty stuff & 1,000 or 1,700 a great difference , my sprays on average 400 baht cheaper etc............

It is not an online supplier , it's a pharmacy that can post to you.I will try & find the number & PM to you. Perhaps get someone who speaks Thai to make the first contact. I just SMS my requirements, bank the money & 2 days later have my Meds.

Interesting to see you say that, when I was searching around a couple of years ago I did a lot of checking around.... Perhaps time to check again?

Moyra wholesale, was about 500- 600 baht cheaper than their branches ( for Crestor) I used to pay about 1700 + baht for 28 pills at other Moyra places, ... then after using the Maenam Moyra price consistently 1190 ... although last month they had at half price as it was getting close to expiry date, so got 2 months for price of one month... thumbsup.gif

Boots is the only other place (locally) that I have found Crestor... but will only sell 14 pills at a time, I find that a bit dumb!!! rolleyes.gif .... and not in the box.... for more money sad.png !

Next time you order from BKK it would be interesting to see what 10 mg Crestor is per pack of 28 !!! wink.png

Ok, so replacement for Health up is Morya Pharmacy "Wholesale" located in Maenam or Gai Pharmacy also in Maenam (Soi 4)....

A pity when in chaweng we have to go "so far" to have reasonable prices.

Roooo's BKK pharmacy by SMS can be good when no hurry...! Will PM you if I need ! Thanks

Well really it's a case of shopping around.... the drugs stores here use different suppliers, so what one store may sell another may not... it depends on your meds....

Gai's for instance (on Soi 4 Maenam, toward the sea) is only going to have, some things you might need... perhaps I should say meds the locals might use more commonly.

Whereas the other pharmacies may have a better choice of "international brands" but they seem to be restricted to the supplier they use or represent....

So there maybe places like Joy's or other pharmacies in parts of the island that may have.... but you need to do as I did and ask by searching around.... (or as Rooo has done and find a supplier in BKK, for what he needs !!! )

VP or V and P pharmacy, I think across from Makro or Big C has meds a friend uses....that cannot be found elsewhere locally!

Only you know what you need! .... or your doctor!!! wink.png

Come on - it's not rocket science. I guess that you are too lazy to shop around.

Anything in Chaweng will be expensive. It is called rent.

Outside of Chaweng (shame that you have to go so far) will be cheaper.

Then - there is a loyalty factor. Buy from the same people every time - build up a relationship - you will get a regular deal.

Shop around and act like a cheap charlie - you get what you deserve.

I go to the same pharmacist every time. I receive free medical advice. She always asks if I want real or fake drugs and I get what I want for a reasonable price. It is called loyalty.

GAI Pharmacy is the best, the lady know, what she's doing.

I think that you will find a "Gai pharmacy" in most villages. I use the pharmacy on the corner by Big Buddha in Plai Laem. The pharmacist there is a real nice girl called Joy wub.png .

Fixes most of my problems and stocks up on my meds before I need them.thumbsup.gif

Yes agree...about there are "Gai type pharmacies" probably in each "village" ... but there are some drugs some pharmacies cannot sell...

There are different suppliers and from what I understand. They can sell products from particular suppliers, also there are different "license levels" for type of drugs they can sell. wink.png

Building a loyalty goes a long way .... agree with that too... not just Pharmacies !!! thumbsup.gif

Hi,

As you probably know, the old "Health Up" with so good service and fair prices in Tesco Chaweng reopened as "Morya pharmacy"...

I had a quick look, prices increased by approx 30%... A pity. I loved the old one, same price for Thais and Farangs...!

      White House Retreats from Public Eye After Trump Victory

      How can she face the public now? She has been exposed at so many things. Covering up for Bidens incompetence. Being unable to act like a real politician in the faces of other politicians. Unable to have individual thoughts whilst showing ignorance on simple political affairs. Using hate as a median to gain votes. AS well as many other tactics she was told to use to ensure her victory that ultimately failed. I think currently, the Dems in control are secretly trying to do 2 things. Wash the election farce under the table and to make it extremely difficult for Trump to change what they have done. Both (of course) being done so Trump fails and the people change their thinking about putting Dems in control again.

      Quality 1-color area rugs in Bangkok?

      Couple thoughts ... ... you get what you pay for ($200) 🙄 ... buy a better rug, along with a wet vac, it will offset the pro cleaning. Spend on the rug, not cleaning. Rugs don't do well here in TH, (heat & humidity) along with crap vacuum cleaners. I don't and won't own them, though see the attraction vs walking on hard tile floors. Me ... I have 2 sets of 'foam' sandals, one for outside, and one for inside, so walking on tile is a comfortable joy. Solves both problems. Use to have full carpets, and or those fancy (expensive as hell) oriental rugs back in the ol' USA. Not very applicable here, or very expensive. Same as USA, but harder to maintain here. Good Luck, but you'll need to add another '0' to your pricing for quality, at least, if not a whole other digit.

      Highway Police Dismiss Allegations of “Gang Stickers” Clearing Routes

      Picture courtesy: Daily News The Highway Police have addressed claims regarding “angel stickers” allegedly used by the so-called "Unwashed Gang" to clear routes without police intervention. This clarification follows suspicions raised by the popular Facebook page “E-Sor Kha-Yi News” about the use of such stickers during a recent event in Phetchabun Province. On 24 November, the Facebook page highlighted the alleged sale of these stickers, priced between 250 and 5,500 baht, supposedly granting vehicles immunity from police checks. The post claimed part of the proceeds funded individuals who facilitate unimpeded travel. It further questioned the integrity of law enforcement in addressing such practices. In response, a source from the Highway Police Command stated that no official reports have been filed concerning these stickers. On the date in question, three police checkpoints were set up along key routes in Phetchabun: 1. Highway 21, kilometre 106, Khok Sa-at, Si Thep District. 2. Highway 21, kilometre 152, Nong Chaeng, Bueng Sam Phan District. 3. Highway 2372, kilometre 8, Na Ko, Lom Kao District. Led by Pol. Lt. Col. Worabadin Lertsuphasinsthit, officers inspected 430 vehicles, including 30 flatbed trucks and 400 motorcycles. Violations issued included: - 38 cases of missing number plates. - 16 cases of unlicensed drivers. - 17 cases of riders not wearing helmets. - One case of missing tax stickers. Authorities also impounded one motorcycle and seized drugs in a separate case. The police emphasised that no consistent symbols or stickers were found on inspected vehicles, suggesting that the stickers referenced might be part of vehicle customisation trends. Moreover, none of those stopped during the operation mentioned the stickers. The Highway Police reiterated their commitment to transparent enforcement and dismissed allegations of complicity in illegal activities, reported Daily News. -- 2024-11-25

      Father and Son Narrowly Escape Fiery Death After Car Fire in Rayong

      A father and son narrowly escaped a tragic accident after their car burst into flames following an explosion in the engine compartment. The incident occurred at approximately 16:00 on November 24, at the Somdej Ya Intersection on Highway 36, inbound to Rayong city, in Thap Ma Subdistrict. Police Lieutenant Colonel Kongthap Preedet, deputy investigator of Rayong City Police Station, immediately dispatched fire trucks from the Thap Ma Municipality and rescue personnel from Sawang Porakun Foundation to the scene. Upon arrival, responders found a black Subaru engulfed in flames. It took firefighters about 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze, though the vehicle was entirely destroyed, reduced to a charred skeleton. The interior, including seats and the dashboard, was completely incinerated. Fortunately, the driver and his son managed to escape the vehicle moments before explosion. The car’s owner, Mr. Jamnong, 53, recounted the terrifying experience. “I had just picked up my son from his tutoring session in Rayong and was driving home. We were only 500 metres from our house when I noticed thick white smoke pouring from the engine. I immediately pulled over and told my son to get out of the car. I quickly grabbed some personal belongings and important documents before exiting.” Mere seconds after they exited, an explosion erupted from the engine compartment, and flames rapidly engulfed the vehicle. Despite swift efforts by the fire brigade, the SUV was entirely consumed by the fire. The cause of the blaze remains unknown. Mr. Jamnong revealed that the vehicle had recently undergone extensive repairs, costing over 200,000 baht, and had only been back in use for a short time. Authorities have transported the vehicle to an investigative facility, where experts will conduct a detailed examination to determine the cause of the fire. No injuries were reported, but the incident has left the family shaken and serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vehicle safety and maintenance. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-25
