I take a lot of vitamins 6 or 7 a day and for the sake of space I sort them into these multi day compartmentalized trays, rather than take like 7 bottles. Is this going to be a problem, ie. unmarked vitamin tablets. How much time does it take to get through customs?

It takes about 5 seconds. Just enough time to hand in your "Nothing to Declare" card and smile at the customs agent. Unless your sweating and shaking there's about a 20,000 to 1 chance of being searched.

Hell , I travel with a friggin pharmacy and have never been stopped.

The last couple of times I have been through BKK customs they seem to have done away with the nothing to declare card entirely. No more green box to check. Just walk on through.

Now that you mention it I now remember there was no customs card this last trip. Shows you how much I worried about Thai customs. There still was a dude at the customs desk sitting there looking bored as everyone passed thru.

So looks like the chance they check your luggage is minimal but if they check my luggage, am I OK to have the following:
1. viagra already pre cut to 50 mg, 30 pieces
2. multivitamins, l arginine, do they have to be in unopened bottles?
3. I have ginseng in little bottles in big box.
4. I have tzepao sanpien in little bottles or chewable.
5. I have energy drinks
6. chinese herbal combos: yi shen ling

Now I usually carry 2 digital cameras and 2 camcorders with 20 video tapes. Is it OK or should I bring only 1 of each and less tape

Thanks

Viagra is sold over the counter in Thailand, no prescription needed. I doubt any of the other stuff will warrant a second glance either, unless it looks or smells like weed or some sort of narcotic.

You're cool with that kind of stuff. Bring all that and more. Thai customs is a joke. Unless you've been outed by someone as carrying something contraband they never check .

Again just act normal- If your all tense , sweating, and look like you're doing something illegal they may get off their ass and say hello to you. Otherwise these guys are just getting thru their shift.

All the same be prepared to be questioned about such things wherever you go. If your bag sets off a security detector for some bogus reason and they just happen to notice all these pills questions may be asked.
I travel with a load of vitamins, herbs (in capsules as well as bulk), as well as allergy meds, etc. Just tell them the truth, look them in the eye and be cool.
If you're a graying old fart like me they usually won't ask more than 1 or 2 questions. If, on the other hand, you have dreadlocks, wear a Bob Marley t-shirt, or are sporting the skinhead & tattoo look, it could be a different experience.
