I bought this long time ago in Thailand.
Where can I get this in Melbourne or what is the name so I can properly search online?
Thanks

Yeah i saw some variants but not sure if its a different brand or did they just change the packaging…
I can't read it
Tried using google lens?
Did a Google search and found this on eBay
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/225564905920?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…That looks a cream for a different purpose…
I'd definitely wouldn't put this balm on my face!
Did i accidentally smuggled cobra extract across the border? 😂
Hope not, that might come back to bite you in the arse.
Ah well, time to book a holiday to Thailand!
and may even be able to pay someone cheaply to give me the massage instead!
There’s a thai grocery store across the road from Nunawading train station, it’s called Thai Sun Market that might sell it
I should try that… I think i've driven past it before…
I've seen this in the Thai 'general store' on Pitt St in Thai Town in Sydney. I'm not as familiar with Melbourne, but I would try the supermarket next to Jinda Thai in Abbotsford, Talad Thai.
I remember that one, long time ago i used to work for a supplier of that store…
There are more than 1 thai grocery stores in that area.
All Asians use Tiger balm, same stuff without the galangal root at a guess. Will be a lot cheaper and easier to find.
Nah i grew up using Tiger Balm but this one is different and gets the job done quicker!
It doesn't have the menthol feeling but relaxes the muscle quicker!
Probably placebo effect but I want some anyway. Can you let us know if/when you find some?
i don't think this has any cobra extract whatsoever…
it has similar smell to Counterpain so I assume would have contained Methyl Salicylate but i find that this also works much quicker without the strong smell of Counterpain. Counterpain is also only an analgesic, it doesn't relaxes the muscle/reduce inflammation, but this does it well.
Wife is allergic to Diclofenac so we can't have Voltaren in the house anymore.
the only downside is that its a black-coloured cream and if I use it, i will end up leaving a black stain on the bedsheet that doesn't go away easily until i wash the sheet.
They sold you snake oil.
This snake oil works faster than Voltaren gel or Deepheat!
Any good for tendonitus?
not sure but i have sciatica which affects the right side of my right knee and it works well for the tendons in that area…
I'm seeing many similar ones, cobra instead of kobra etc, not sure which is actually the original. Might need a Thai friend to confirm.
Here is the identical one in Russia https://drthai.ru/product/cobra-cream-balm/
im so confused, the packaging does have a lot of russian writing i suppose? is it russian or thai? 😅
Perhaps it’s a Russian formulation of what was originally a Thai made balm. Have you tried the Thai product?
Which Thai product?
I only used whatever it is I have posted on imgur.
I don't even know if it's Thai or not anymore 😅
@meong: The Thai made product linked by boomramada above shows a partial list of ingredients in one of the images of the jar label. Does your product list a similar list of balm ingredients anywhere on the packaging?
