Fascino is the usual recommendation and it's solid, but if you're on Soi 11, the little pharmacy inside the Villa Market on the corner of Soi 11 and Sukhumvit is surprisingly good for basics. They carry Now Foods and Doctor's Best which are reliable US brands, and you won't have to deal with the Sukhumvit traffic. For anything obscure like specific amino acids or herbal extracts, you'll want to make the trip to the Vitamin Factory at Terminal 21, they have the widest range in the area and the staff actually knows what they're talking about.

Head over to Fascino Pharmacy on Sukhumvit Soi 5, it's a short walk or quick taxi from Soi 11. They stock a huge range of international brands like Blackmores and Swisse, plus local options that are just as good and cheaper. For something closer, the Boots on Soi 11 itself is decent but the selection is smaller and prices are a bit higher. If you need specialty stuff like protein powders or specific sports supplements, check out the Vitamin Factory branch at Terminal 21, it's only a couple BTS stops away from Nana.

If you're on Soi 11, the pharmacy at the back of Foodland on the corner of Soi 5 is my go-to for everyday stuff like vitamin C or magnesium. It's open 24 hours and the prices are consistently lower than Boots or Watson's. For higher end brands like Solgar or Jarrow, the Fascino everyone mentions is your best bet, but try the one on Sukhumvit 5 rather than the bigger branch on Soi 3, it's less crowded and the staff there have been around longer. Just don't expect anyone to speak fluent English about the ingredients, have a photo of what you want ready on your phone.

yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
