The Consumer Protection and Public Health Pharmacy Division of the Samut Songkhram Provincial Public Health Office works to protect consumers and strengthen the province’s health economy. It supports local businesses in improving health products and services through regulatory guidance, technology, and community networks, while helping ensure that products meet applicable standards.

The division provides information and licensing support for food, medicines, cosmetics, herbal products, medical devices, hazardous substances, psychotropic substances, and narcotics. It also assists with permits for private medical facilities and health businesses, including massage and spa establishments. Available resources include application forms, licensing-status tracking, business directories, inspection information, and guidance for entrepreneurs.

For the public, the division shares health-product alerts, information on checking Thai FDA registration numbers, complaint procedures, and training resources. It also develops practical tools for consumer protection, including systems to check medicines sold in local shops and assess health-product or medical-facility advertising. Through initiatives such as Maeklong Guarantee and R5 Guarantee, it promotes local health products and encourages businesses to develop them toward recognized standards.
