hey guys, planning a thailand trip for 3 weeks, question i have is. if i manage to get a local thai doctor to prescribe test and pct's, buy them in thailand and jump on a plane back to Australia, will customs have an issue with it/confiscate?

not sure if a thai doctors certificate will stand up with customs guys.

You are messing with the wrong country.You should know how hard customs is there.

i thought of the same thing when i went, but you need an australian prescription for it to be ok.
if you bought the PCT stuff i could see you getting it through customs if you didnt buy alot, but i really dont see them letting you in with oils.

so what if a local thai comes to australia for a holiday- wont his prescription suffice to australian customs?- i realise its illegal to import- but not sure why customs would question it if i had a doc prescription- doctors are doctors arent they?

I'm pretty sure he's got to be licensed by whatever board governs doctors in Australia. You can give it a try, but you're probably going to get caught.

You may be able to keep the meds if the same meds are FDA approved in Australia for medical use and the prescriptions are accepted. I am going to go out on a limb here and tell you not to waste your time in doing this.
