Entering Thailand with Prescribed Medication by kevh
Anyone entered Thailand recently from UK with prescription medication?Just wondered how many days of medication you’re allowed to take in. The Thai Embassy website says 30 days but apparently that info is out of date and the FDA of Thailand ...
@simonbolton79 Thanks for that info. We’ll be going through Dubai Airport en route and they allow 3 months supply of prescription medication to be carried so I’m hoping that Thailand will be the same. Better safe than sorry I suppose. Read More

GBP into Baht by daz2079
Hello everyone. I’m new here and I have an interest in moving out to Thailand in the next few years. I am holidaying in Phuket next week and I wondered if someone could tell me what the average exchange rate is over there. It’s currently ...

Driving licence by alffvdh
Well, I have come across my first stumbling block since moving to Thailand just over 3 months ago. No problems with my visa, no problems with the bank, no problems with my visa extension. But...... then I went to enquire about getting a Thai driving ...
