2P Pharmacy — Quick take: helpful staff, inconsistent pricing; proceed with caution
At a glance: what guests actually reported
- One customer says an Otrivin nasal spray was usually priced about 170 THB elsewhere but was initially rung up at 260 THB and finally sold for 190 THB after arguing; that same customer reported no receipt and no visible price displays, and described a dismissive interaction where staff pretended to call a boss.
- Two reviewers described the pharmacist as nice; one specifically noted the pharmacist speaks good English.
- One reviewer called the shop a decently stocked tourist trap with high markups; another succinctly warned that the place is overpriced.
- Business hours are listed as 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM every day.
- Payment options include credit cards, debit cards and NFC-enabled payments.
- Nearby businesses include Mini Big C and 7-Eleven, which offer easy price comparison alternatives.
What the pattern reveals about pricing and transparency
The most consistent complaint across reviews targets pricing and transparency rather than product quality or selection. Multiple guests raised markup concerns and lack of a clear price display. One detailed transaction establishes a concrete example of a significant markup plus no printed receipt, which highlights a risk for visitors buying branded or higher-cost items without confirming price first.
Service quality: friendly but inconsistent
Positive comments about a helpful, English-speaking pharmacist suggest staff can provide clear, useful interaction for non-Thai speakers. That said, the same set of reviews records a confrontational episode when a price was questioned, pointing to inconsistent behavior under pressure or when challenged. The contrast suggests service experience may depend on product type or the nature of the sale rather than on baseline friendliness.
Stock and convenience: when this place makes sense
At least one guest labeled the inventory as reasonable, meaning common OTC medicines are likely available. The daily long hours extend the practical window for urgent purchases. The presence of Mini Big C and 7-Eleven nearby creates simple fallback options for price checks or to pick up essentials if you prefer not to risk a contested transaction here.
Actionable guidance for visitors
- Ask the price before you hand over money — confirm the amount for each item verbally and request a receipt at the time of sale.
- Use electronic payment when possible — a card or NFC payment creates an audit trail that cash does not.
- Check competitors before paying for branded items — compare one high-cost product price with nearby convenience stores or another pharmacy before committing.
- Test small purchases first — if you need to establish how staff handle pricing and receipts, start with a low-cost item before purchasing expensive or branded medicines.
- If price feels wrong, be prepared to walk — nearby alternatives make it practical to refuse a questionable sale and try another store.
Who should consider visiting 2P Pharmacy?
If you need late-evening access or an English-speaking pharmacist for quick over-the-counter advice, this pharmacy can serve that need. For tourists or anyone buying higher-priced branded products, the reviews suggest caution and verification before purchase.
Bottom line: useful hours and helpful staff exist alongside repeated pricing complaints; protect yourself by asking for prices and a receipt, use an electronic payment method, and compare before buying costly items.
