When dizziness and nausea hit, the first item that the Thai people think of before any other medicine is “ya dom.” This little magical tube will bring them back when they are about to faint and fall on the ground. The refreshing scent of ya dom repels the pain of headache or numbness almost immediately. For some people, ya dom is not just a household medicine, but a must-have item whenever they leave the house. Knowing that they can grab a ya dom from a handbag or a pocket gives them a peace of mind. You can call this a “Thailand Only” behavior, a scene that amazes foreigners whenever they see it. If you are a tourist looking for authentically Thai souvenirs for friends or relatives back home, make sure you buy some ya dom.
