 Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 5:14 pm Post subject: Birth Control in Thailand |
 |
|
Moving to Thailand in September with my significant other to teach English...
Curious about the availability of birth control pills, the birth control patch, etc.
Should I bring as large of a supply as possible with me, or are they available in Thai pharmacies? With or without a prescription?
Thanks so much! |

The pill is available in any pharmacy, without prescription. I've no idea about patches- didn't even know such things existed.  |

Insanity-
Not sure if you're a user or not, so perhaps you don't know the answer to this, but just in case: do you know how much the pill costs in Thailand? Just curious -- thanks! |

brand name: EURA
1 box of 28 birth control pills: 120 Baht

| Can get a jab as well which I think keeps you good for a month (actually it might be three months) for around 700 Baht. |
