Same in Bangkok, I haven't been in out since they closed the malls but I know a drug store in Central Lad Prao that was charging 375 baht for a large bottle of Hand Gel I bought a few weeks before for 89 baht. I can't even find any blue alcohol in my area any size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
