Bringing medicine into thailand

Featured Replies

I got this in an email to the forum, and posts it here. Anyone have knowledge of bringing this type of stuff into Thailand?

-----

I am writing to you about a couple of issues that I need to clarify with my pending trip to Thailand in early July.

Firstly:my son and I will be spending around 12 days in your country.

         

is it a requirement to have a visa each?

Secondly:I am a Chronic Pain sufferer and need certain medications

I will need to carry two injections of morphine,(for pain)

then a drug called Physeptone in tablet form and I take

18 per day with rescue doses total =240 tablets(for pain)

The other is endep 2 tablets a day =24 in total ( antidepressent)

For my hip and knees I take Vioxx (anti-inflammatory)

I can obtain a letter from my doctor advising of the above.I have a concern that these maybe taken from me once I check thru customs in Thailand let me please assure you that these medications are for my use only,and they also have been Ok'd thru the Pain unit of nepean Hospital.

I am sorry for such short notice but I do fly out on the 3rd July.

Also I thank you in advance for your help.Finally these medications will be kept in the hull of the aircraft and in no way do I need to carry them on my person.

It is improbable that official approval would be forthcoming within his limited time frame. A worthwhile option is to take the doctors letter and buy the drugs in Bankgkok.
