Asthma inhalers

Just wondered if anyone living over in Thailand can help me, can you buy asthma inhalers over the counter in pharmacies there?

I don't remember seeing them last time I was there, planning an extended stay so would good to know if I could get them.

Thanks,

Mart

Ventolin is widely available and if you are also using a steroid inhaler you'll find Seretide - Prices are Circa Bht220 and Bht1000 respectively.

I'd advise buying at Boots or Watsons rather than the local cornershop pharmacy as these two pharmacies have well controlled stock maintenance.

Though you might be lucky and find your asthma is very much reduced in Thailand.

Oh and remember carry your meds in your carry on luggage not in your hold luggage. Just incase/

Many thanks for the reply, covering all the bases there!

My last trip was for 6 weeks in July/August and I think I used my inhalers once after a foolish decision to take a tuk tuk at BKK rush hour!

Thanks again.

Mart.

Ventolin, Symbicort and those pink little steroid pills all available over the counter...
