Steroids Thailand

The steroid issue in Thailand has been around for a long time, but has shown no sign of becoming less severe. The problem has a number of different root causes. Ultimately, it stems from a leakage outside of the control system. This has been exploited by those who benefit from the sale and distribution of steroids.

The pharmacy on Soi 7 in Pattaya boldly advertises the drugs Andriol, a tablet version of testosterone, and Testoviron, which is available as an injection. According to the ACC, both of these drugs are anabolic-androgenic steroids which increase muscle mass and increase male sex hormone levels. Often, they are combined with other muscle-building and weight-loss drugs in a practice known as stacking to maximise their effects.

Australians travelling to Thailand to purchase steroids are not required to have a prescription. However, clinics in Pattaya do not always follow the rules and often will write a prescription for a fee. Chris, a local resident who has dealt with steroid users in his bar and restaurant, says he has seen this happen many times.

The rise of’steroid holidays’ was highlighted in Australia last year when amateur bodybuilder Aziz “Zyzz” Shavershian died in a Bangkok sauna while on a steroid holiday. Since then, numerous Australians have come forward to admit that they travel to Pattay and other parts of Asia for’steroid vacations’ _ staying in hotels or resorts to take cycles of various steroids over several weeks or months until the desired physique is achieved.  Steroids Thailand
