What is legal in Thailand, and what Panya will route.
FDA Thailand (Or Yor, the Thai Food and Drug Administration) regulates medicines under the Drug Act B.E. 2510 (1967) and its amendments. Mounjaro (tirzepatide), Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide), and Saxenda (liraglutide) are registered as prescription-only medicines and dispensed through licensed pharmacies and clinics. Compounded tirzepatide produced by Thai compounding pharmacies sits in a grey zone. Research peptides like BPC-157 are not formally scheduled but are not approved for human medical use; Bangkok wellness clinics offer them under research-grade framing.
Three routes that stay on the right side of the line.
International hospital with imported brand product
Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital, Samitivej, BNH Hospital. English-fluent staff, English-language prescriptions, brand-name Mounjaro and Wegovy in stock or on next-day order. Cost runs THB 9,500 to 16,500 per month for the standard 5 to 10 mg dose, consultation included. International-hospital framing matters for insurance reimbursement back home: the receipt and prescription are formatted to satisfy most US, UK, and EU insurer requirements.
Bangkok wellness or aesthetic clinic with brand or compounded product
Aesthetic and wellness clinics across Sukhumvit, Sathorn, and Chiang Mai prescribe GLP-1s alongside other longevity / aesthetic protocols. Brand product runs THB 6,500 to 11,000 per month. Compounded tirzepatide produced by Thai compounding pharmacies (sourced as research-grade tirzepatide acetate) runs THB 3,000 to 8,000 per month. Compounded carries real quality variance: the molecule is the same, but excipients, sterility QC, and pen versus vial format vary by source. Panya scores compounded clinics on COA disclosure, batch traceability, and source pharmacy reputation.
Thai pharmacy chain with prescription
Boots, Watsons, Fascino, and the major hospital pharmacies dispense Mounjaro and Wegovy against a Thai or international prescription. Prescription-only enforcement is real at the licensed-pharmacy level (different from the wellness-clinic in-house dispensing model). Useful path if you have a doctor in Thailand or a recognised international prescription and want a familiar pharmacy retailer.
No Telegram resellers, no peptides without sterility QC.
FDA Thailand has not actively enforced against research-chem channels for personal use, so Telegram and farmaa-line resellers operate openly. That permissive enforcement does NOT mean the product is safe. We will not route to a channel that cannot produce a Certificate of Analysis with batch sterility, endotoxin, and identity testing, regardless of price. Research peptides (BPC-157, dihexa, the non-GLP-1 catalog at panya.health/peptide) are documented for transparency; we do not yet route to vendors for them anywhere, in Thailand or elsewhere. Until the lawyer + payment-processor review that gates non-GLP-1 affiliate routing closes, the documentation pages are info-only.
Match you to a Bangkok-or-elsewhere clinic that scores.
Take the quiz from a Thai IP and you get matched against the 11-signal rubric to a Thai clinic or international-hospital provider that scores 70/100 or higher. The match accounts for your dose progression (cheaper at 2.5 mg, fuller cost at 10 mg or 15 mg), your insurance documentation needs, and whether brand or compounded fits the budget honestly. Panya vendor-scorecards live for the major Bangkok routes; the price band, supply state, COA quality on compounded options, and prescription rigour are all in the audit. We say where a clinic scores below the routable threshold rather than skip- listing.
Where these rules live.
- FDA Thailand (อย., Or Yor): fda.moph.go.th for the official medicines register and Drug Act B.E. 2510 prescription-only classifications.
- Drug Act B.E. 2510 (1967) and its amendments under Thai law: the framework for medicine scheduling, manufacturing authorisation, and pharmacy licensing.
- Thai Customs Department for medicine import rules: small personal-use quantities (typically up to 30 days supply) are generally tolerated; larger quantities may be held.
- Medical Council of Thailand (แพทยสภา) for physician registration and prescribing scope.
- Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and the Ministry of Public Health joint medical-tourism framework, which governs how international-hospital channels handle expat patient flow.
