While I have checked and found none of the meds on the forbidden list for entry, does anyone have experience entering with so much medication? Is there anything that should or should not be done? Should I expect to be stopped and questioned?
I travel to and from Thailand often, usually with several different prescriptions in tow. It's quite unlikely you will be stopped and/or questioned since customs officials tend to only randomly select a few people for luggage x-ray upon arrival (and those often seem to be Chinese tourists with several huge trunks/suitcases.)
To be safe, I keep my meds in the original bottles that have my name, doctor's name, prescription number, etc. printed on the label. (IIRC, you're permitted to bring up to 90 days' supply of personal medication with you, provided it's not on the forbidden list.) I've never been stopped or questioned by customs upon arrival.
