Bangkok has long been a favourite getaway for Singaporeans, and it’s easy to see why. Whether within walking distance or a quick ride on the BTS (no, not the boy band), the city offers endless things to see, do, and, most importantly, shop. From Eve&Boy and Beautrium to Boots, beauty lovers will find plenty to explore in every aisle. Below, we’ve curated a list of Thai beauty brands you’ll want to bookmark for your next trip.

Her Hyness
For skincare, Her Hyness was highly recommended by locals and now, by us. Sold at most beauty stores in the city, its clinically-proven products help support the skin's natural skin cycle and strengthen its barrier while also addressing areas of concern such as acne and dark spots. If you're going to get one product from the brand, it has to be their sunscreens (around S$68.04).
Her Hyness is available in stores at Eve&Boy and Beautrium as well as on its website.
Supermom
Supermom is the brand for fans of Clio and Judydoll. It creates high-quality, high-performing beauty products for that minimalist, model off-duty aesthetic. Our favourites include the Volume Curling Mascara (around S$19.73), Jelly Plumping Glossy Balm (around S$27.78), and make-up brushes (starting at around S$14.45).
Supermom is available in stores at Eve&Boy and Beautrium as well as on its website.
La Glace
Looking to add more colour to your routine? La Glace is where it's at. The beauty brand creates make-up products in both versatile and bold hues, as well as toner pads that soothe, calm, and moisturise the face. Our recommendations include the Eye Glitter Duo (around S$13.25), Baebie Black Blush (around S$11.64), and Baddie Lip Matte (around S$8.01).
La Glace is available in stores at Eve&Boy and Beatrium as well as on its website.
Ingu
If you're already tuned into skincare content creator and Ingck's TikToks, then you'd be happy to find out he has created a skincare line called Ingu. This skincare brand simplifies your routine with face, body, and lip products backed by science. Favourites include the Hydrating Gentle Cleanser (around $15.70 for 100ml), Brightening Crystal Serum (around S$31.81 for 50ml), and Green Tea Retinol Serum Shot (around S$35.83 for 30ml).

Parfum Prissana
For artisanal, niche scents, Parfum Prissana creates complex, sophisticated stories through notes and blotters. Drawing inspiration from Asian history, cuisine, and mythology, it uses rare, mostly natural materials to create unique scents that separate the user from the rest. We recommend Ayutthaya (around S$207.48 for 30ml), Tom Yum (around S$181.55 for 30ml), and Hayra (around S$207.48 for 30ml).
