About Thai Meds

Thai Meds answers two questions for travellers, expats and retirees: can I bring my medicine into Thailand, and can I get it once I am there?

How we work

• We base every page on official Thai sources first: the Thai FDA, its Narcotics Control Division, Royal Thai embassies and the Ministry of Public Health. We use law firms, news and foreign government travel advice to fill gaps.
• Every medicine page lists its sources, the date we last checked it, and how confident we are in the sources.
• We use generic names first. We do not name Thai brands, show prices, sell anything, or link to anyone selling medicine.
• Rules change. When official sources disagree, we say so and suggest the cautious option.

Not medical or legal advice

Nothing on this site is medical or legal advice. Talk to your doctor about your treatment, and confirm the rules for your medicine with the Thai FDA (permitfortraveler.fda.moph.go.th) or the Royal Thai Embassy in your country before you travel.
