Where can I buy Saxenda in BKK?

If you're near Siam, the pharmacy on the ground floor of Siam Paragon has it behind the counter, just ask the staff. They don't always keep it out in the open. You can also try the MedConsult Clinic on Soi Nana, they do telemedicine consultations for weight management and can write you a prescription same day, then you pick it up at their attached pharmacy. Prices are around 4,500 to 5,000 baht per pen depending on where you go.

honestly just check the pharmacy at the bottom of thong lor, the one near villa market. they usually have it without a huge markup compared to the hospital prices. also the clinic at asoke tower, dr. pat's, does walk-in prescriptions and they stock it in their pharmacy. just bring your ID and maybe a recent blood test if you have one, saves time

You can try the bigger hospital pharmacies like Bumrungrad or Samitivej, they usually stock it. Some private clinics in Sukhumvit carry it too, but you'd need a doctor's prescription first.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
