Not anymore. It used to be available at many pharmacies but the Thai gov't made it a controlled substance a few years back.

Does this eman that bringing in amounts for personal use is a crime and one risks seizure or worse? I once had a train inspector enroute to CNX ask if my spiruline was heroin!

How about mail order from Australia/Singapore? Any experiences of problems with Thai customs?

kava cured my insomnia. I won't be without it.

Seems people are claiming to have ordered it through the mail. Is it just not available over the counter?

I used to do that in my hippie days. I found it very very mild and subtle. Sometimes the law makers go overboard.
