Are common prescription medications available in Bangkok?

When we asked expats in Bangkok if common prescription medications are available in Bangkok, they wrote...

"Yes, common prescription medications are widely available in Bangkok. You can find them in numerous pharmacies and drugstores throughout the city. Some of the well-known pharmacy chains in Bangkok include Boots, Watsons, and Fascino. Additionally, many hospitals and clinics have their own pharmacies where you can obtain prescription medications. It is essential to have a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional to purchase these medications. It is also important to note that some medications may have different brand names or formulations in Thailand, so it is advisable to consult with a local pharmacist or doctor for guidance," explained one expat living in Bangkok, Thailand.

"So far all the meds I have needed are available locally; if not in drug stores then at the hospitals. Some are available without prescription while others are not; not sure why? Non generics are just as expensive as in the US," said another in Bangkok, Thailand.
