Am I the only healthy one on this forum? In the last 17 years I have been to the chemist twice, last time I had any medication was about 10 years ago, the UK I think I went to the chemist twice, once for some crab cream and I think for some cough medicene one time.

If you ask for MIMS(TIMS) the book and search through the Thai generics you will be offered a cheaper alternative or they will even order it for you.
That's a good summary. I also believe products produced by the Thai government factory are limited to a 5% profit margin by law. Smaller pharmacies that i know use a 35% mark up on wholesale prices for other medications.

Obviously get your condoms from elsewhere then (and if you were not using them, you would be visiting waaaay more often!)

So Marmite has provided a bit of useless on-topic pretext before delivering his usual empty insult this time. I suppose that is a step in the right direction from simply providing the insult.

Having met Marmite several times, it is clear that with his level of intelligence he wouldn't have a clue if he was being fleeced by a pharmicist.

Just a thought......
It's a strange thought though, because this pharmicist was trying to sell me cream to treat a disease, not a simple sports muscle strain.

Well, that's prolly true.

The last thing I bought was a strip of charcoal tablets for about 40 Baht. I don't think I was ripped off.
