bubba1 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have some prescription cream from a dermatologist outside of Thailand. It's over 100 ML. Can I take it through security in my carry on bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 A guy named bubba with prescription dermatology cream. Sorry but can only imagine what security might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xircal Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Shouldn't be a problem provided you can also produce a doctor's certificate. See: http://www.thaiembassy.org/bucharest/contents/files/travel-20120907-191945-489473.pdf If you're travelling via the UAE, it's a different story: http://www.uaeinteract.com/travel/drug.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Just put it in your checked luggage and make sure you have a copy of the prescription with you if they do stop you. Shouldn't be a problem. Added: I carry prescription meds all the time (beta blockers), and the only time I declared it when required (Sydney), they wanted the prescription (which I didn't have), but let me through and just reminded me to carry the prescription. As for the UAE, if it's in your checked luggage you'll be fine, the list above is for importing medicines. If you have *any* liquid in your hand luggage it might draw unnecessary attention, or might even just get confiscated and lobbed in the bin, so why take the chance?

bubba1 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 I don't want to check luggage. The box has the US prescription information. It's about 15K baht per tube. I don't want to risk it being confiscated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to risk it being confiscated You risk it being confiscated if it's a liquid or similar in your hand luggage. Just put it in your suitcase in your wash bag with your toothpaste and deodorant. But have the prescription ready in case they do query it, which is doubtful in my experience. I've given up on those sealed security bags that they tell you will be accepted in Bangkok when transiting. Most of the time they just deny all knowledge and nick it. If your bag is checked through they probably won't even query it. Or can you not do without it for the duration of your trip? Oh, and I get what you mean by the "prescription information" on the box, but you'd still be better with a copy of the original doctor's prescription with signature, just to be sure.

KhunBENQ Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Just to be sure: Is each tube over 100 ml or both together? Is the size clearly written on the tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
