Can you bring medications like Ibuclin, Nurofen, or Theraflu into Thailand for personal use?

Yes, you can bring medications into Thailand for personal use. Travelers often carry a small first-aid kit when traveling, which is a common practice. However, Phuket has many local equivalents of familiar medications, so there’s no need to bring a fully stocked kit. For example, you might prefer to bring your usual stomach remedies, but throat and nasal treatments can easily be found on the island.
