This research aimed to investigate the influence of experiential marketing on repurchase intention among pharmacies’ service recipients in Chiang Rai Province and examine the influence of service quality on repurchase intention among pharmacies’ service recipients in Chiang Rai Province. The sample consisted of 400 pharmacies’ service recipients in Chiang Rai Province. A questionnaire was used as a research instrument for data collection. The statistics used to test hypotheses were multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that, in terms of individual dimensions of experiential marketing, exchange, everywhere, and evangelism positively influenced the sample’s repurchase intention. For individual dimensions of service quality, it was found that assurance and empathy positively influenced the sample’s repurchase intention. The findings would be useful as the guidelines for developing pharmacies to meet the demand of service recipients, leading to safety in using drugs in accordance with the standards of the pharmaceutical profession.
