ORIGINAL POSTER

If this isnt appropriate as it is a bit of a stretch admin please delete. 

Friend from UK arriving on 60 day visa.  Takes a mild sedative.  Concerned about the 30 day limit on bringing pharmaceuticals into Thailand.  Advice please.  Just bring 30 days?  Fewer? Is there a LEGAL work around? Is the 30 day just for Visa exempt and with a visa he could bring more?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A friend from the UK is concerned about bringing a mild sedative into Thailand on a 60-day visa, specifically regarding the 30-day limit for bringing pharmaceuticals. They want to know if they should bring just 30 days' worth of medication, if a legal workaround exists, and if the 30-day rule applies only to visa-exempt travelers or if it is different for those with a visa.
