Wegovy in Thailand

Wegovy is an FDA-approved medication designed specifically for weight loss, using the same active ingredient (semaglutide) found in Ozempic but at a higher dose. It's rapidly become one of the most sought-after treatments for managing obesity and excess weight.

If you're considering Wegovy in Thailand, it’s important to understand its availability, pricing, and how to safely access it. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Wegovy in Thailand.

What is Wegovy?

Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone to help regulate appetite and blood sugar. Unlike Ozempic, which is primarily prescribed for Type 2 diabetes, Wegovy is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions.

Manufactured by Novo Nordisk, Wegovy is administered once a week via a pre-filled injection pen. It comes in gradually increasing doses: 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg, and finally 2.4mg — the full treatment dose for weight loss.

Availability of Wegovy in Thailand

Wegovy is available in select hospitals and pharmacies in major Thai cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. However, availability may be more limited than Ozempic due to higher global demand and stricter usage indications.

While some pharmacies may offer Wegovy over the counter, it’s strongly recommended to obtain it through a licensed medical provider. This ensures the medication is authentic, correctly stored (must be kept refrigerated), and used under proper medical supervision — especially important as Wegovy’s dosing requires gradual escalation.

Be cautious when purchasing online in Thailand. Only buy from reputable platforms or licensed hospital-affiliated services to avoid counterfeit products.

How Wegovy differs from Ozempic

While both Wegovy and Ozempic use semaglutide, Wegovy is prescribed at a higher dosage (up to 2.4mg vs. Ozempic’s 1mg max) and is intended specifically for weight loss, not diabetes. People who’ve tried Ozempic for weight loss but didn’t achieve sufficient results may benefit from switching to Wegovy under doctor guidance.

Additionally, Wegovy typically produces more pronounced appetite suppression and weight reduction, but may also come with stronger side effects during the dose-escalation phase.

Wegovy Alternatives Available in Thailand

If Wegovy is unavailable or not the right fit, here are several other weight loss medications in Thailand that you can consider:

  • Ozempic – lower-dose semaglutide, often used off-label for weight loss
  • Saxenda (liraglutide) – another injectable GLP-1, approved for weight loss, but taken daily
  • Mounjaro (tirzepatide) – a newer dual-acting medication showing strong results in weight loss trials
  • Rybelsus – an oral version of semaglutide, though typically less effective for weight loss than injections
  • Weight loss surgery options like gastric sleeve and liposuction – for more immediate or aggressive weight loss outcomes

Cost of Wegovy in Thailand

A month’s supply of Wegovy in Thailand typically ranges from ฿10,000 to ฿14,000 ($280–$400 USD), depending on the dosage and where you purchase it. Hospitals generally charge more than standalone pharmacies, but the added cost may be worth it for those seeking physician oversight and assurance of authentic medication.

Prices are significantly lower than in countries like the US, where monthly costs can exceed $1,300 without insurance.

Traveling with Wegovy

If you’re planning to bring Wegovy into or out of Thailand, be aware that it is a temperature-sensitive medication and must be kept cold during transport. A prescription is not strictly required for carrying small amounts for personal use, but having a doctor’s letter and keeping it in the original packaging is highly recommended to avoid issues at customs.

Common Questions

Can I buy Wegovy in Thailand without a prescription?

Arrow down

Yes, in many cases you can purchase Wegovy in Thailand without a prescription, especially from private pharmacies or hospital pharmacies in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or Phuket. However, it's strongly recommended to consult a doctor before starting treatment to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your medical history. Some hospitals may still require a consultation before dispensing it.

Is Wegovy safe to travel with in and out of Thailand?

Arrow down

Wegovy can be brought into or out of Thailand for personal use, but you must follow proper travel guidelines. Keep the medication in its original packaging, carry a doctor's note or prescription if possible, and ensure it remains refrigerated during transit. Declare it at customs if required — Thai authorities generally permit medications for personal use when properly documented.

What’s the difference between Wegovy and Ozempic for weight loss?

Arrow down

Both Wegovy and Ozempic contain semaglutide, but Wegovy is specifically approved for weight loss and comes in higher doses (up to 2.4 mg). This makes it more effective for fat loss, but it may also lead to stronger side effects. Expats and medical travelers in Thailand often start with Ozempic and switch to Wegovy if greater weight loss is needed.

Is it safe to do Wegovy in Thailand?

Arrow down

Thailand has some of the best hospitals and medical facilities in the world, with highly skilled doctors and state-of-the-art technology. These facilities are accredited by international organizations, such as the Joint Commission International, ensuring that they meet global healthcare standards.

Does my insurance cover Wegovy in Thailand?

Arrow down

Whether medical insurance covers Wegovy in Thailand or not depends on the individual policy. Some policies cover the procedure, while others may not. It's important to check with your insurance provider to find out if Wegovy is covered and if there are any restrictions or limitations on coverage for medical procedures performed outside of your home country.

Some policies may require pre-authorization or pre-approval for medical procedures performed outside of your home country.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health anymore!

We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.

We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.

Cosmetic Surgery

I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.

The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.

I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Sex Reassignment Surgery

I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery.  I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.

Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
