My "sources" tell me that:
1 If you go into Boots & ask for Viagra, the answer will typically be "no have".
2 A lot of the independent pharmacies will have something. However, if a farang asks for something like Sidegra, they will price this at 2~3 times the correct price.
3 Such independent pharmacies often store such medication in what amount to "hiding places", which is suspicious.
In my opinion, a good way to buy safe ED medication at a sensible price would be to:
(A) Go into Bangkok drugstore, near Sala Daeng, Bangkok & ask for Sidegra.
(B) Since Bangkok Drugstore are often not open, head to one of the first pharmacies up Rama IV & ask for Sidegra
(C) Order Sidegra online from Bangkok Drugstore
(D) If buying a Cialis type product, I'd probably go for something like Apcalis. Supposed to be made by Ajanta pharma. My hypothesis is anyone producing fakes will fake the recognised brand, not clones.
But surely Sidegra is the safest option ? Even if users do need to remember to take it in time.
In the case of (A) and (B), when asking, I would say "do you have this" and show them the Sidegra page on the Bangkok drugstore website (with price). This avoids confusion and more importantly, demonstrates that you know what the product should cost.
Which helps them to quote the correct price, rather than a farang price.
Hell would freeze over before I buy anything from street vendors or on the beach. Some are blatant fakes & it goes without saying that I have no idea at all what they put in it.
No doubt someone will say you shouldn't take this without a prescription. Well, 50mg Viagra does not require a prescription in the UK.
