Cheap cosmetics in Pattaya. Company addresses on the map.

Visit Thailand and not bring back local cosmetic and medicinal products for friends and relatives? Impossible!

Magnets, clothes, and other souvenirs are great gifts, but cosmetics are gaining more and more popularity every year. Such a gift will be not only pleasant but also useful.

However, the pharmacies where guides from large tour operators love to take tourists during excursions do not have democratic prices. The final cost of the product is affected by the presence of Russian-speaking staff and the agent’s commission. What should you do if you want to buy a lot without spending extra? In this article, you will find useful information about points of sale for high-quality goods at reasonable prices.

PATTAYA BEAUTY MALL

Pattaya Beauty is a chain of 3 stores. They are located at the following addresses:

The most popular store is the one located near the “Tuk Com” electronics shopping center.

Some goods are displayed right on the street.

To the right of the entrance, you will find a huge assortment of hair products—dyes, masks, scissors.

Face and body care cosmetics are located in the left part of the store, and decorative cosmetics are closer to the checkouts.

Attention! Discounts and special prices apply for large purchases. Gift giveaways often take place.

Natural Thai Cosmetics for Face and Body

The variety of goods can shock an unprepared tourist. It is sometimes unclear exactly what to choose from 1000 items. Let’s look at the most popular products for face, body, and health care.

Coconut oil rightfully takes first place. Areas of application:

• Hair growth mask. Half an hour before showering, apply the oil to the roots and put on a cap. Rinse off the unabsorbed residue with regular shampoo. Repeat once every one to two weeks.
• Dandruff remedy. Before bedtime, massage the oil into the scalp. Wash your hair with shampoo in the morning. Dandruff disappears after 1-2 times. Repeat as needed.
• Against gastrointestinal diseases. For gastritis and ulcers, take a tablespoon of oil every day.
• Teeth whitening. Rinse your teeth with oil for 5-10 minutes once a day. The effect is visible after 3-4 weeks.
• Bite remedy. Applied to the skin, coconut oil protects against sand fly bites.
• Moisturizing, nourishing the skin. Apply the oil during a massage or after a shower.
• For tanning. The oil provides an even tan, but be careful—the likelihood of getting sunburned this way increases.

Attention! The correct choice of coconut oil is very important. A quality product has the inscriptions: “Cold press, virgin oil.” Such oil solidifies at temperatures below +24 degrees and becomes white. Only this oil can be used in all the ways listed. If the product remains liquid and transparent, it is synthetic oil with fragrance. It is used exclusively for massage.

Pay attention to the brand that produces the oil. “ThaiDure” and “Phutawan” are at the peak of popularity among locals. Products from the “Tropicana” brand, which are sold everywhere, are not valued by Thais.

The cost of a liter of high-quality coconut oil is 300 ( 9.23 USD)–700 baht ( 21.55 USD). A lower price indicates a less-than-best quality product.

In addition to cosmetic oil, you can also find cooking oil on the shelves of grocery stores. It does not have such a pronounced smell and aids in weight loss. A half-liter bottle costs 150 ( 4.62 USD)–300 baht ( 9.23 USD), depending on the manufacturer.

Inhalers take an honorable second place in popularity. They are sold on every corner and even in “7-11”. They differ in appearance:

• Small plastic cylinders. Based on liquid balm.
• Jars with a collection of herbs.

Locals use these inhalers constantly. They are very helpful for:

• Runny nose.
• Motion sickness.
• Unpleasant odor.
• As a refreshing agent on the road.

Inhalers can be used even by children, and the compact packaging allows you to put one in the smallest handbag. Such a gift will delight friends and will cost the giver only 20 ( 0.62 USD)–50 baht ( 1.54 USD) per piece.

Ointments and balms are third on the shopping list. There is a huge variety of jars, colors, and properties. We highlight the most effective ones according to customer reviews:

• Black balm with snake ingredients. This ointment is used for bone and joint diseases such as arthritis, osteochondrosis.
• Tiger balm. A universal remedy for all kinds of muscle pain. It should be noted that patches soaked in this ointment are more effective than the balm from a jar. They are sold in every pharmacy.
• Green balm. Suitable for athletes with strained or pulled muscles. Another pleasant property is that when applied to mosquito bites, it relieves the unpleasant itching sensation.
• Red balm. This ointment contains chili pepper. It has a warming effect and helps with colds.
• White balm. Used in massage parlors as a means of enhancing the effect of procedures.

Attention! Red balm is not recommended for use with varicose veins.

The cost of balms ranges from 40 baht ( 1.23 USD) (basic ointments) to 400 ( 12.31 USD) (with snake components).

Thai, Korean, and Japanese Sheet Masks

Another undeniably noteworthy purchase item is sheet masks. Their variety is also great.

Locals themselves prefer Korean and Japanese manufacturers. This is not only about the quality of the product; an added advantage of these masks is the beautiful packaging with flowers and animals.

What types should you bring back from vacation?

• Aloe mask. Excellent for moisturizing and nourishing. Suitable for all skin types and ages. Has a pleasant, unobtrusive scent.
• Precious stone mask. For mature skin. Restores youth and smooths wrinkles.
• Snail mask. Also a universal product for nourishment. Skin looks radiant, and wrinkles are slightly reduced.
• Collagen mask. A trend in Thai fashion. Korean manufacturers supply tons of such products. These masks take care of preserving youth and are suitable for absolutely everyone.

Decorative Cosmetics

Local, Korean, and Japanese brands are presented in Pattaya Beauty. The selection is very large, and every product can be tested on the spot. It is best not to wear makeup before visiting the store and to bring wet wipes.

Attention! Water resistance is not indicated on some types of cosmetics, yet 90% of mascaras cannot be removed with ordinary products. Ask the consultant to immediately recommend a special liquid.

Wholesale Thai Cosmetics Store

Another point of sale for inexpensive cosmetics. It is located between the popular night market on Thepprasit Road and the large Outlet shopping center.

Despite the small premises, the selection is huge. Unfortunately, there are no testers in this store, so you will have to buy relying on luck.

Among the popular products, the following are worth highlighting:

• Thai toothpastes. The recommended brand is 4 A 5 Stars. Thais themselves use this toothpaste. It costs 35 ( 1.08 USD)–40 baht ( 1.23 USD).
• Jinda Herb hair loss shampoo. It is herbal-based and is excellent for natural, uncolored hair. The series includes shampoo, serum, and conditioner. A bottle costs 70 baht ( 2.15 USD).
• Korean Kok Liang shampoos. They cleanse well and have a herbal scent. The black packaging contains shampoo for coarse hair types. 45 ( 1.39 USD)–65 baht ( 2.00 USD).
• Black sesame mask. Despite the specific medicinal smell, it makes any hair soft and manageable. 50 baht ( 1.54 USD).
• Yoko heel cream. Fights cracks and dry skin. 90 baht ( 2.77 USD).

This wholesale store has recently become popular with tourists, and sometimes the owners invite a Russian-speaking consultant. Fortunately, this does not affect the price of the goods.

As you can see, you can buy cosmetics not only in the traditional, advertised, but expensive royal pharmacies. A little effort and you will find what to bring back from vacation without emptying your wallet.

Important! To choose a suitable good product in cheap stores, read about its properties and customer reviews in advance.
