bought some of those a few time to help me sleep on longhaul flight .... blue losange if i remember correctly at 100mg ? there was a small pharmacy ( more a booth ) on sukhumvit between soi 4 and 6 . 800 baht per 10 . old thai guy in there always told me not to take more than one , never went over a half and that was plenty ! called them, yaa nawn !!

tried pharmacy out of the "red " district to no avail , prescription needed , only one small pharmacy in a on nut condo complex had some at 50mg . i knew you needed a prescription for them , obviously 900 hundred i s a hell lot to carry around , never had more than 10 on me , wondering how much trouble i could have gotten into if arrested by the bib .
