My wife and I are currently in Europe and return to Australia mid-next week via a 24 hour stopover in Bangkok. Unfortunately she has back problems and may need drugs to help with pain from the long haul flights. However, her tablets are banned in Thailand without a long and complicated process of doctors letters and permits etc that we ran out of time to arrange.
We got around a similar prohibition in Singapore by using the Flight side baggage storage at Changi on our way to Europe. That way we didn't take the tablets into Singapore and risk nasty penalties. I have checked the Bangkok airport web site, and there is baggage storage at the airport, but I can't tell which side of customs it is because if We have to declare them, I expect that they will be confiscated and not available in case she needs them on the BKK-SYD leg.
Does anyone know which side of immigration and customs the baggage storage at Bangkok is?
