Tramadol can be bought from any drug store in Khon Kaen. I've even been OFFERED a variety of benzodiazepines and painkillers that are illegal. Like all laws in Thailand, they don't mean much.

In saying that, the drug that causes the most deaths/suffering in Thailand is advertised and no t controlled - alcohol.

The fruit and veg out here glows in the dark. Chemicals that are banned around the world are sprayed here at 300x the humandanger level, and then the veg is put on shelves and kids like this one in the OP will be eating it every night. Most people don't know or care about toxic chemicals that are sprayed, eaten or drank, be that from supermarket or pharmacy. Its really tragic and sad, and the chemicals in pills, food and drink, when imbibed by a mother, will go into the developing foetus and cause all kinds of permanent defects in the child before it even emerges into the world. All unregulated and governed by a 'these chemicals are cheap and so are you' anti-human philosophy. Meanwhile the politicians chat about Yinglucks hairstyle, and bringing back Thaksin.

Could not agree more!

For the sake of protecting our innocent children, both Tramadol and soda must be banned forever in Thailand.

Isn't Tramadol also known as Hillbilly Heroin ?

Hillbilly Heroin?

No, it's not. Tramadol is a weaker analgesic drug.
