In Phuket, 7-Eleven stores can be found literally at every step. There you can buy water, drinks, snacks, ice cream, hygiene products, cold medicine, and sunscreen, and many locations are open 24/7. For tourists, 7-Eleven is a convenient way to grab a quick bite, pick up beach essentials, or stock up on water and electrolytes without any hassle.
Not everyone knows that it’s not necessary to bring medicine with you to Thailand — you can buy it at any 7-Eleven!
Disclaimer: if your symptoms are serious, do not self-medicate — see a doctor in time! Clinics are listed in the Hospitals section.
Here’s what you can buy in 7-Eleven stores in Phuket:
Children’s fever and pain syrups, e.g., SaRa
Local paracetamol – Tylenol
Cooling patches for fever
Warming, cooling, and pain relief patches, e.g., Counterpain and Heat Patch

Activated charcoal
Propoliz – throat spray

These are the main medicines you can buy in convenience stores. 7-Eleven does not sell prescription drugs: antibiotics, strong painkillers, or substances containing narcotics.
