Poppers in Thailand: legal, illegal or controlled substance


Recommended Posts

Posted

I know this is a subject that's been done to death, but does anyone know the real legal status of poppers or amyl nitrates in Thailand.

In all countries, their legality seems to be a grey area at best, I'm just wondering currently what the situation is in Thailand.

I'd really appreciate responses from people who actually know something concrete about it.

They are illegal.   I believe they are a controlled substance which have some medical purposes, but cannot be bought without a doctor's prescription.   The commercial mixtures known as 'poppers' aren't legal.  

 

I do know of a farang who was detained for having poppers on him when he entered Thailand some years ago, but I don't know if he was ever charged or arrested.

Nitrites, and not just amyl (=pentyl) but butyl nitrites can be used to similar effect.

 

Offers of poppers are widespread on the internet and on gay dating websites/apps.
