hhgz Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 A government hospital is cheaper than a private hospital, but I can'r figure out why you wouldn't use a cheap pharmacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 You can certainly get "proper meds" at a pharmacy at a fraction of the price of a hospital. Documentation of course is something else. While a government hospital would be the least expensive, red tape can be considerable and it might prove hard to get what you want. I would suggest going to one of these non-profit private hospitals but getting only the documentation needed (and perhaos a small supply) and then buying in bulk at a pharmacy: Camellian Hosp (Soi Tinglor) St Louis Hospital (Sathon) Bangkok Christian Hospital (Silom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Get a prescription from a doctor, and then just go to a cheap pharmacy. Keep your prescription do not use/turn it in to the pharmacist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Indeed, for xanax and valium you can only get at a hospital and you will find they will not dispense a large quantity at once. Not more than a one month supply, if that. You might also face some significant issues with customs at both Thai and arrival end travelling with a large supply, prescription and doctor note notwithstanding.

Sheryl Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I assume you mean tablets not mg? Even though the country you are going to allows import of 3 month supply for personal use you could still have problems departing Thailand with that amount if it is detected.

Thai Customs have regulations how many can take out of TH ? . . . never heard of that . . . , and yes i was talk about MG . . . . . Iam allowed in to EU with 270mg Alprazolam and 2700mg Diazepam . . . " 3 month supply " if have prescription from Hospital . . . . as my address in register in Thailand now EU . . . . so i travel from None-EU to EU country . . .

DirtyDan Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Go to a Chinese wholesale pharmacy. Prices are about 1/2 to 2/3 of other pharmacies Wonder why some days your sugars are in range and other days they're not? Be real cautious with this approach. The brother-in-law works for a major pharmaceutical company and they recently audited their manufacturing in China finding both the impurities and active ingredients in any given tablet could be an order-of-magnitude out of spec: that 10mg pill you're taking could have 1mg or 100mg! OP, if you can only get a 30 days supply, maybe try getting 3 different suppliers? Edited July 6, 2015 by DirtyDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
