The truth is that Thailand has not only fake drugs, but also many; Thai medical care not only costs money, but also many private hospitals are ridiculously expensive.
Let's start with fake drugs. With the development of tourism in Thailand, the number of tourists is increasing. Many tour guides make up a set of lies for tourists in order to sell more and get more commission. The most famous is "Thailand has no counterfeit drugs".
In the tour guide's mouth, Thailand's crime of making fake drugs is a capital crime, and citing fake drugs hurts the king's eyes, so this law was promulgated to promote their ointment, snake medicine and other items.
But are these "magic medicines" in the tour guide's mouth really wonderful and famous in Thailand? Five years ago, Siamese girls who just came to Thailand discussed this issue with Thai friends.
Some ointments in Thailand are really famous and worth buying, such as Cao Qing ointment, which is really effective for mosquito bites and is also used by Thais.
But not every medicine is so "famous". Take snake medicine as an example. Many Thais have never even heard of it, and even if they have, it is nothing more than "China tourists like to buy it".
Tell me more about the real events.
According to the media report on March 20 16, the Thai police destroyed a fake medicine base for producing ointment. This counterfeiting workshop belongs to a huge counterfeiting gang, and there are underground workshops in various governments in Thailand. In June, 5438+06, a large counterfeiting spot was seized in Chiang Mai.
The ointment they made was mainly sold to agents all over the country, and finally sold to China tourists in various tourist attractions.
If you use fake herbal ointment, it will cause skin allergies and may also cause cancer of the respiratory system.
Facts have proved that the statement that "there is no fake medicine" is purely false.
China tourists are the largest tourist source in Thailand. Taking advantage of the "huge" number of tourists in China to sell high-priced and inferior souvenirs, medicines and Buddhist cards, the profits of many black tour guides and illegal purchasing agents soared.
In addition to counterfeit drugs, there are fake crocodile purses, fake latex pillows and fake jewelry. Although it is not certain who sold the fake goods, the tour guide brought them to buy them. We should be careful.
However, relatively speaking, most pharmacies in Thailand are relatively standardized and can be purchased with confidence.
Let's talk about medical care.
Hospitals in Thailand are divided into public and private. The service attitude is still good, which Thailand really deserves to learn from China.
The price of public hospitals is usually cheaper. Once, a friend's mother broke her arm and called an ambulance in Ayutthaya. The doctor took a photo and put on a plaster, which cost more than 2,000 baht, that is, four or five hundred yuan.
A few days later, I checked in Bangkok and went to a private hospital. The doctor didn't do anything, so he asked how he felt at present, took some preventive measures, prescribed some tonics, and taught more than 7,000 baht at the checkout, which was about RMB 1500. It's even scarier than charging in China.
This also reflects the difference between public hospitals and private hospitals.
Public hospitals are cheap, but they are often overcrowded.
The service level of private hospitals is much better than that of public hospitals.
Hospital decoration is usually very warm, not as "cold" as domestic hospitals.
Some hospitals are even decorated like palaces, such as the famous BNH, and friends who go there for the first time may even think it is a high-class hotel. There are few people in private hospitals, and the service of nurses can hardly be praised.
These are the views of Siamese girls on "Thailand has no counterfeit drugs" and "Thailand's medical care is free". Please supplement and correct the shortcomings!
Can you believe what the tour guide said? There are not only fakes in Thailand, but also many! Remember, most people who cheat abroad are from China!
The king ordered the ban on counterfeit drugs because he ate them, which is a lie. There are many fakes in Thailand, including snake venom, ray mask and latex pillow that you usually buy in Thailand.
Because I study in Thailand, I often buy genuine thunder and latex pillows for people to go back. As a result, someone asked me why it was so expensive. Ok, I won't buy it. I will fly to Thailand to see it myself.
Don't trust roadside shops, buy medicine to pharmacies, buy Thai goods to Watsons, shopping malls and boots. When you see those who can still master Chinese, especially the boss in China, please turn around and come to Thailand to play, just eat and drink. Thailand has good things, but you are wasting money if you can't tell the truth from the false. Many purchasing agents you know are delivered by domestic factories, which really lacks conscience. Some sell artificial latex.
I was cheated abroad, thanks to China people for giving advice to foreigners and bullying us together. It's really conscience that feeds dogs. I also want to thank those honest China people who are willing to help their compatriots!
Cheap medical care in Thailand is aimed at Thais first, followed by public hospitals. Will you go to a private hospital? Why don't you try calling an ambulance?
Go to Thailand, have fun and forget to shop.
