TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses recommendations for purchasing vitamins and Western health products in Bangkok. Users suggest using online services like iHerb for convenience, while also advising to keep individual orders under 1500 baht to avoid customs issues. Additional suggestions include looking for local pharmacies such as Medisafe and Nutrition Depot that offer a range of Western health products. Some users share personal experiences about shipping and duty fees, expressing a preference for physical stores similar to Chemist Warehouse in Australia.

Re iherb orders. I live in Hua Hin and have had duty imposed three times in the last year. Some items that I buy on their own go over the threshold. Like Ion liquid is 3000 baht. And nattovena is 2000. So when they don't arrive i have to drive to the post office near the airport and see if they have come and if so pick up and pay mostly about 400 baht. Once they left a notice at my home to come and pick up. (Yes I do use the tracking but not always accurate). Anyway there is no choice if you want the stuff you have to jump through the hoops. At least when you go pick it up they don't leave it in the sun when you're not home. Lol

Just do iherb. MKe sure to keep your order under 1500 baht and not problem with customs.
