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 don't apear to be on any of the attached lists however I would still be careful

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.

amyl nitrates

 

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.
