skirtlifter Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 For the life of me I cannot sleep on planes even if I'm well lubricated. Once, about 5 years back, Imanaged to get some Xanax without a prescription and they worked a treat. I am thinking of going to my local GP in Bangers to see if he will prescribe them. Just wondering what my chances are. Is there a generic/alternative which will do the job and does not require a script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLeakHunt Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 You can get them at the pharmacy, but they can be of varying quality which can make life a bit unpredicatble, if you go to your usual hospital in BKK you should get a good quality tablet which is a bit safer. In the past I've also found that stilnox or tomazompan can do a similar job (tomazopan were the best for me personally). There is also another pill called either DormaCom or Dormaid which does the trick but I have never flown on them. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTO Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Much tougher now to get them at Pharmacy's - technically illegal I am sure in thailand - hospital only can give them out legally. Try Suk pharmacy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirtlifter Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. SLH...are those pills over the counter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyar Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Atarax from boots will knock you out as good a xanax and only 90 baht. If you need Xanax try the shop near soi 4 150 baht for a strip of 10, expensive but good quality. Don't ask in thai or they won't sell them to you.

SiLeakHunt Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. SLH...are those pills over the counter? Like CTO said, they're technically illeagal to sell over the counter although some places will, however they can be of varying quality. Pop into the local hospital such as Bumrumgrad, might cost a bit more but they'll be legitimate medicines then. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_of_town_hall Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Last time I was there I bought this little yellow round pills from a chinese pharmacy. Cost 5 baht each. I purhased 2 and took them after the first meal. Woke up 30 mins from touchdown on a 10.5 hour flight, they worked for me. STH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
