Thailand Medical Kit

Our list of what to put in your medical kit is divided into stuff to bring from home and stuff that is easily available in Thailand. Stuff From Home

Prescription Medications - most prescription meds are available over the counter in Thailand, not all are - especially new medications. Make sure you have the generic name of the med written down somewhere.
Cortisone Ointment - can be a bit difficult to find. It is very useful for insect bites and other itchy problems.
Excedrin - regular aspirin is easy to find, the type with caffeine, such as Excedrin, is not available.
Rolaids - if you have a problem with heartburn, you can buy something called Antacil in Thailand, but it is very chalky. Bring your favorite antacid from home.
Eyeglasses prescription - eye exams are cheap in Thailand, but if you are in a rush, you can often get the lenses made more quickly

What You Can Get In Thailand

Aspirin, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, plasters ("Band-Aids"), cotton swabs
Antibiotic ointment (for skin infections), anti-fungal ointment
Tweezers (a Swiss army knife takes care of pretty much everything)
Imodium (for diarrhea)
Extra pair of eyeglasses
Anti-malarials - sometimes asking a medical professional in the country where malaria may be endemic is better
