I found some bottles at Big C today. Only two left on the shelf when I left if anyone is interested.

I saw some cream from Australia--Suncreen and anti-mossie in one. What a good idea.

I forgot to come back to you on this. You're right - nothing - and the location for such sprays has changed.

Sounds like some of you guys have been searching for weeks for this stuff when you could easily ordered it from Lazada and got it in 2 or 3 days

Mostly me searching I think... You're probably right but I'm not sure I could give the address to our house in a way the delivery guy would understand. We are also away from the house big part of the day which could be a problem, or not?

Just noticed that Lazada wants 285 THB for a can of Off. I bought mine att Big C for 149 THB each. Quite a difference!

There was one can left in Homepro when I was shopping yesterday.

Not sure what the fascination is with Off spray. You need about half a can to get a decent coverage. I'll stick with my pink bottles (Soffell) from 7-11. Best spray I've found and I'm incredibly tasty to the little f*kers.

Well I don't agree since I think rather little spray keeps them off me... But I guess people are different tasty. My problem with many local sprays is that I can't stand the smell..

Forgot to update this again. Off is now back in stock at Gourmet Market, opposite the pet food section, in the far corner - there's only 2 and other sells fresh meats, fish and things!

Excuse crap pic and I pulled the can forward especially!

I find Gourmet Market often cheaper than Villa and in many items, all the other stores, where non fresh food items are concerned.

Has the formula changed? :shock:

I've used it for many years but at present almost bedridden with a rash everywhere I applied it, and popping antihistamines like candy.

Yes, the doc indicates that it's an allergic reaction to OFF and he's seen many people with it. I applied it on Thursday before cutting the grass, and by early Friday morning I was in agony. Never happened before, and it appears to be another case of as you age, your tolerance to things changes.

The product used was OFF "Active" with 15% Deet. The "Active" part is some kind of ingredient so sweat doesn't wash it off so easily I'm told. :( :banghead:
