Unless it's an opiate, an abused drug, or requires a doctor to monitor for side effects it's gennerally available OTC, but small pharmacies may not stock all drugs. Across the river from Thammasat University, over in Bangkok Noi there are lots of full service pharmacies near Siriraj Hospital and Wang Lang pier,. Check out Wang Lang market while you're there. It's a cool local market.

An IDP is much easier to get, and more useful as it works in many places.

6 days isn't enough do do much more than scratch the surface of BKK, much less Thailand. Have fun.

both places have excellent food courts. I spent over a year in BKK before moving to the provinces. Great city. I like staying out further from central, Udom Suk area is nice.

I'm currently in Thailand on a 6 month multiple entry visa. I've used it on every visit. I answered 6 months. It's a TR60 as stamped in your passport for US passport holders.
