I realize I can buy aspirin at most pharmacies but they charge about 15 baht for 10 pills.  I can buy a jar of 500 for about $3.50 in the US.

 

Is there anyway to get cheaper aspirin here?

Gov hospital  pharmacy,  have to see a doctor first. 

But remember that doctors here may be reluctant to prescribe aspirin due to bleeding concerns.  

It does not cost anything like 15 baht for 10 tabs of locally made aspirin.

 

Go to a real pharmacy (not a Boots or Watsons or other chain, a large Thai store selling drugs, not cosmetics).

Does anyone have any idea what happened to Bayer Aspirin, the 500mg tablet versions ?

 

They are no longer available anywhere as stocks appear to have depleted. I questioned a few pharmacists about this and none of them seem to have any idea. I suggested that it might be some dispute with the Thai FDA / government but they were quite clueless.

 

Maybe I will phone Bayer and ask them directly if I get around to it.

Yesterday tried 6 Pharmacies in Mukdahan  for 81 mg Thai style,  NO HAVE ILLEGAL  was the answer. Guess it is 40kms back to the hospital where DR.?? forgot to include on prescription Have been on 100mg back home for years

 

It is illegal only if they lack a grade one pharmacist on site. A prescription is not required and likely won't help.

You may have to go into the provincial town to find a pharmacy with a "real" pharmacist.

The 81 mg aspirin is sold under the trade name " Aspent" and I buy mine at Fascino Pharmacy
