There's one in All-Season's Place, third floor.

**Marmite the Dog** · 17th July 2006 20:49

Robinson's, Soi 19 next to the food court in the basement.

**dayward1** · 21st July 2006 13:02

There's also one in Bang Kapi mall

**Marmite the Dog** · 21st July 2006 13:09

Or, you could just eat properly then you would't need to waste money on that shit.

**Unwell** · 21st July 2006 14:05

That's one thing that we North Americans find extremely frustrating about being here. Ther's very litle choice in places to buy supplements.

:sad:

urghhh, nat i've just gone right off you! what a .........something thing to say....!

Why do people need to take protein supplements? I'm in my prime and fit as a fiddle and I never take any supplements except vitamin C when I get tired or stressed

ah, an englishman speaks.

ok, so only i think it's funny...

**natalie8** · 21st July 2006 15:57

OK, I forgive you. We all have our little "things" that we can't live without. I'm a bit of a freak, I know. :smile:

Not really... whey protein is higher quality protein than protein found in meat. It also absorbs faster so it's good for mornings and for post-workout.

If you don't take a supplement the only way to have a high amount of protein in your diet is to eat lots of meat and fish, and these have WAY more of a health downside than whey does.

To each his own though... I also eat lots of meat anyway. :chug:

They do brainwash you in America now. That is for sure.

Yeah that must be it. I completely transformed my body over the course of the last year, but I'm sure my high-protein diet didn't have anything to do with it.

Thanks for the GNC locations everyone. I guess whey protein is just something you can't buy in Thailand at a reasonable price. I've seen it in a few other stores too, and it is always like 5 times what it costs in the US!!! So I'll either get some shipped or wait till I go home. I'm done with this thread.

Hi
Like many other fitness crazy people in bangkok , i have had real problems buying whey protein in Thailand. It is extremely expensive. I just ordered a ton of whey protein from Oz. If any one is interested i am selling some of it.

Whey protein = 1 Kg for 850 Baht

If you are interested, let me know by email:marxmr@hotmail.com

Then you will pay another 30$ to get it shipped to you. I think the simple solution would be just to eat more protein.

Have you tried Bangkok Complementary Health in Soi Yommarat which is off Sala Daeng they have vitamins and supplements from the UK at really good prices. It is a little hard to find so worth checking their website for a map

A store in Phuket advertises on the web. Forgot its name. GNC has a store at FPR and the prices are outrageous. ** I sometimes order whey protein from www.Bodybuilding.com and have it shipped to a friend who then puts it in plastic bags and sends it as 20 lbs flat rate Priority Mail parcel. Those plastic bottles are only partially filled and they take up a lot of space.
The quality of the stuff differs a lot.
How about eating just egg white?
