I'd like to know where to buy Melatonin here, I've went to some pharmacies and they were like "it's not for sale" so yeah. Any clues? Since my sleep schedule has been a mess.

I don't need much either, just about 5mg at most
Answer summary
Many users suggest purchasing Melatonin from online platforms like Lazada and iHerb, although it can be pricey in Thailand. Local pharmacies, especially larger ones, tend to carry Melatonin, but smaller pharmacies may not stock it. Some users have found it at specific locations like Market Village and MBK. Alternatives like CBD oil or gummies are also mentioned as cost-effective sleep aids. Consulting a doctor through an app for a prescription is recommended if needed.

Got in pattaya at a pharmacy, also circadian, but super expensive like 800 baht for 14 2mg. Makes me tempted to just buy benzos.

Use an app to consult a doctor to give you a prescription and the pharmacies will be happy to sell to you.

Just 400-500 Baht

You can get it on iHerb but it is fairly expensive here. Many have switched over to cbd oil or gummies as a cost effective means to manage sleep.

I see, I've not used CBD oil or gummies before, anywhere to get them too?

I'll check out iHerb as well, thank you

You can get the oil from a cannabis pharmacy and the gummies almost any pot shop (Bangkok was the only area I found that doesn't seem to have them) I get mine in Hua Hin, so it really depends on where you are. They have different potencies and take about an hour to kick in - usually dose off before that happens but I sleep pretty good using them and they have been a big help for pain management for me as well.

We looked for it when we first moved over as it was a medication my husband used - he switched over to the cannabis solution and hasn't looked back.
