Has anyone found reasonably priced sunscreen for sale in Thailand? The Nivea stuff that is available everywhere is quite costly, but I haven't found anything else.

I need to use sunscreen whenever I go out, so I use quite a bit.

TIA

Try Boots.

I think they do large bottles.

Either that or get an Ozzy to bring some over.

You mean 55 gallon drums, right?

You may try the Aranyaprathet market, they got pretty cheap creams and perfumes over there...

I know a lady who had her face covered by pimples following her purchase over there ! I do not know if pimples protect sunray exposure !

Nope I mean 44's

Anything liquidwise of a decent size is packaged in 44's aka 200ltrs.

They make good raft building material and are also handy in storing body parts.

Have a word with Kerux.

Thank you so much. Boots brand, 200 ml for 160 baht. About one third the price of Nivea.
