You can bring any medicine that has been prescribed to you by a doctor in your home country

Just a thought. Side stepping Thailand, if your transiting countries, for example Dubai, they have a whole list of medications that may well be legal, or prescribed in ones home country, but may get you in bother at the stop over if found.

You are joking right? Heroin? Get real! You can bring any medicine that has been prescribed to you by a doctor in your home country.
Obviously if it has been prescribed to you and it has your name on the outer label you should be just fine in case you get stopped by customs.
In all my years of flying to LOS myself I have never been stopped by customs at Suvarnabhumi Airport upon arrival.
FYI, if you get caught with heroin you will get life in prison at the "Bangkok Hilton". Not a fun way to spend the rest of your life. -Swedeman

Sorry Swedman this is not correct. If you go to anyThailand ammbassy website you will find lists of medication allowed and not allowed to take to Thailand. Some medication is prohibited weather or not you have a doctors certificate. It does not matter what the certificate states you have your own responsibility to now which medication is ok. Strangely enough you can buy some of this medications at any pharmacy int Thailand once you crossed the border. If you bring in not allowed medication you can end in prison
