I don't know what thai people think about this but I do have a related question about getting prescriptions in thailand.

When ever I get sick in Thailand, I describe my symptions to my g/f and she runs off to the pharmacy. When she returns she normally brings back several small bags filled with pills (whather these pills are antibiotics or ibprofin I do not know). I do not go see a doctor but some how she obtains prescription meds for me.

Other times on the way back to the U.S. I see alot of farangs poping valum out of their small thai RX bags.

Do the pharmacies in Thailand just had out pills to just anyone who requests them? I'd think with the problem of the popular "ya ba" in thailand they would not give pills to anyone with out a doctors consent. How do prescriptions work in thailand?
