hi...would 'not' advise you to take a drug like diazepam without having the doctors cert...because if you were found with it when going through customs (they use dogs), then they would arrest you immediately.
i do know because i lived there for 14 years, so i 'do' know their procedures very well...infact i got arrested for having over 100 aspirins in a plastic container...so just fair warning to you.

Yes, it is illegal to import diazapam into Thailand or I'm sure almost every country in the world without a doctor's prescription.
And, yes if you are caught. I'm sure there would be undesirable consequences. Having said that, although it would technically be considered drug smuggling, a few pills would most likely not get you into any trouble. I am in no way advocating smuggling, but there is very little chance you will have problems. I have entered and exited Thailand over 80 times in the last 5 or 6 years, and on occasion have posessed a sleep aid or two, never a problem, although I have hidden them discreetly just in case. Also, I have never encountered a sniffer dog, nor do I believe a sniffer dog would be trained for a few pills such as diazapam. My best response would be to visit a doctor and get a prescription, as most doctors would prescribe diazapam, or something similar, for people who have anxieties with flying. But, on the other hand, I wouldn't worry about a few pills.

The strict drug laws earlier mentioned are only randomly enforced at the airport; e.g. I've neither seen any canines nor have I ever been checked. If you are really not firm with flying, better go to the local airport med and ask him/her for convenience. They surely will issue something more effective than Diazepam and you'll stay out of trouble.

Thai Doctors give out diazepam like bankers give out lollypops. If your drugs are in a perscription bottle you have nothing to worry about.

you may import one, there are amenities (vehicle brokers) who concentrate on bringing autos into the U. S.. It only turns into unlawful in the event that they're used on public roads. So in case you want to hire Virginia international race track to take if for drives and trailer it to and from the track - no rules have been broken. There are different tracks around the country and probably even competitions which you will use one in, only no longer on the line.

Yes, you can't bring diazepam into the U.S. or any other foreign countries.

i think as long as your name is on the box/bottle of pills it shouldn't be a problem
