Chayaphum Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Would that be the same chain as as the Morya pharmacies? Yes I think so, my spelling is wrong. Morya Pharmacy, yes is the same, they opened 2 new branches at Christmas 2012 inside both Tesco (Chaweng and Lamai) . They will give out now membercards (My Card) for their customers (10% Discount). I get my Card last year at the Morya-Shop in Big-C Chaweng. more information here.... Company Name: Morya Pharmacy A chain drugstore of many branches around the island of Samui, one of Southeast Asia's tourist destinations located south of Thailand. Now considered as the most popular drugstore on this small island, Morya Pharmacy offers all kinds of medicines and hospital equipment. http://www.moryasamui.com Chayaphum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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!!! (She's in BKK for a few days at the moment... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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............

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... 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!!! .... and not in the box.... for more money ! Next time you order from BKK it would be interesting to see what 10 mg Crestor is per pack of 28 !!! Edited January 6, 2013 by samuijimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khman Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tropicalevo Posted January 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2013 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuimike1 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 GAI Pharmacy is the best, the lady know, what she's doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 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 . Fixes most of my problems and stocks up on my meds before I need them.

samuijimmy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 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. Building a loyalty goes a long way .... agree with that too... not just Pharmacies !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 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...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
