What should I do if I have a prescription from my home country and need to fill it in Phuket?

You can fill a prescription in Phuket, but it's important to bring the prescription in English, as this will help the pharmacists understand what you need. Some pharmacies may accept foreign prescriptions, but this can vary.

• Local pharmacies might also offer advice if you need a similar medication that's available over-the-counter. Pharmacists are usually knowledgeable and can assist you in finding the right alternatives.

Check current rules, contracts and professional credentials directly. Online recommendations are a starting point, not a substitute for legal, medical, financial or regulatory advice.
