Where to buy epsom salts?

Featured Replies

Does anybody know where to find epsom salts? Or possibly the Thai word for epsom salts?

Thanks in advance.

a Pharmacy, or if you can find a tradional Chinese medicine shop.

 

have you googled 'epsom salt thai'  ?

 

check that ajarn forum...

The Thai word is "taa glua," or "[something] salt." It's sold in bulk generic bags at many of the traditional shophouse pharmacies around Thailand.  The fancy places like Boots, Watsons, etc. don't carry it.  Maybe check out a hospital pharmacy too.

 

I bought my supply from the pharmacy next to the gas station on Sukhumvit and soi 4 (soi Nana).

In Pattaya --

The Chinese traditional medicine shop on Pattaya Tai not far from the Fascino sells it. But it's not cheap as it's not popular in Thailand.
