Bangkok is the lowest-friction GLP-1 access point in Asia for English-speaking adults. Here's the complete map: which clinics actually fill scripts for foreigners, what they charge, what to bring, what to expect.
The real Bangkok price spread for brand Mounjaro and compounded tirzepatide as of May 2026, ranked from cheapest to most expensive, with the consultation fees and delivery options that change the math.
The UAE GLP-1 market splits between Dubai's larger and more expat-oriented private clinic ecosystem and Abu Dhabi's more institutionally-driven hospital network. Both work. The right choice depends on your insurance, residence, and what you're actually trying to achieve.
The London private GLP-1 market has fragmented since the NHS Wegovy expansion in late 2025. Here's the current operational state of who's prescribing, what they charge, and which path is wrong for whom.
Singapore is more expensive but more predictable. Bangkok is cheaper but more variable. The right choice depends on your trip length, risk tolerance, and whether you're optimizing for a single visit or a relationship.
The two main expat-clinic neighborhoods in Bangkok have different operator profiles for GLP-1 access. Sukhumvit is denser and more international; Silom is more business-oriented and slightly cheaper. Both work.
Three telehealth operators (Juniper, Pilot, Mosh) plus LillyDirect's direct path. TGA September 2025 advertising enforcement reset the marketing landscape. Brand-pharmacy supply only · Australia doesn't have a US-style compounded GLP-1 market. Per-month pricing, what each operator actually offers, who fits where.
An afternoon in Sukhumvit, four clinics, the same five questions about Mounjaro at each one. The price quotes ranged from 6,000 to 14,500 baht for the same dose. The medical conversation ranged from 'sign here' to a 30-minute consult. Here's what I learned about how to actually choose.
Eli Lilly launched Mounjaro in NZ February 2026 via Medsafe approval; private telehealth (Well Revolution + Pocket Lab) stocking from launch week. Wegovy still pending Medsafe filing. Foundayo (orforglipron) MHRA / EMA / Medsafe trajectory all 12-18 months behind FDA. What NZ readers can do today.
MOH Circular 87/2024 hit its one-year anniversary in March; the in-person-consultation rule is now observable, not theoretical. Foundayo (orforglipron) HSA pathway tracking 12-18 months behind FDA. Oral Wegovy 25mg HSA filing the more imminent question. What changed for SG readers since the April buyer's guide.
What changed for UK GLP-1 access since the April 2026 buyer's guide. NHS QOF tirzepatide indicators went live April 1; Cohort 2 (BMI 35-39.9) starts June; oral Wegovy 25mg shipped at private pharmacies in January; Foundayo (orforglipron) MHRA pathway tracked. Private market still dominant. What to do today.

HK Department of Health licenses Wegovy + Mounjaro for limited indications. Private clinic supply is steady but premium-priced. The 1h45 Bangkok flight is the cost-arbitrage many HK-resident expats end up using. What's actually licensed, per-clinic pricing, and the picking framework.

Pure Rawz, Limitless Life Nootropics, Amino Asylum, Empower Pharmacy, and Strive Pharmacy scored on Panya's public 11-signal rubric. The headline finding: Amino Asylum is offline after a June 2025 FDA enforcement action. The compounders carry active regulatory weight. The research-chem channel has structural ceilings that the COA cannot fix.
