where to find chinese herb shop in Udon Thani?

PostAuthor: thalenoi » March 31, 2009, 10:25 am

Any one knows if there is a Chinese herbs shop in Udon Thani?

More precisely I am after "Krachai dam" roots, if anyone knows where to find some?

I found a website http://www.organicthailand.com/product-en-387053-925674 where I could order but they ask for a Thai ID to register, don't like to give anyone's ID to a web site though.

I think there is one in Phosi Road.

Map reference K11. It's on the other side of the road to the UBC office, near the junction of the road that goes towards the Police Station.

You can buy Krachai dam (black ginger) in bulk from Nong Khai Ta-Sadet market, they also have numerous other herbs from China in capsule form or fresh.

fountain circle, between phosi road and tahan rd map ref M 12 - there is a chinese herb shop - it's got a whole wall with dozens of little boxes containing different chinese herbs - i should think they will have what you are looking for.

Ok, I'm off to Udon Thani tomorrow, will try to find and report on discoveries :D

BTW, the krachai dam effect tea GF made was to reduce PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels from 9 to 6 (not that I want anyone to risk his life doing the same :oops: ) but she ran out of roots, got it when we lived in Chumpon, tried to grow some in a pot, unsuccessfully. The PSA level come as a surprise, not being intentional :razz:

Will report however on PSA levels next blood check up due May with or without krachai dam (without for 5 months now)

In the basement of AEK hospital, there's a store that sells chinese herbs. Near the old immigration office.
