I suggest you stop taking the steroids.
And any other non doctor prescribed medication.
MODERATORS.
I don't think this is acceptable in this community.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty certain that possession of Valium without a prescription is an offense over here. I'd reckon you would be in trouble with either customs if you tried to take them through.
A young lad was arrested recently in Phuket for possession of Valium. Not sure of the outcome, but he certainly missed his flight home and was up in court for it.

You can post the steroids home for sure. I know of many in Hua Hin that do it. Youngsters and Oldies alike! Personally I dont think steroids are 'unacceptable to this community' as such, I think people just hear the name and go 'Oh my god. It's illegal'. All the guys you see at the gym take it. It's widely used by many in Hua Hin. Not my cup of tea to be honest but if ya want to look like Cartman after taking too much beefcake 2000 then it's your choice, each to their own. Does not effect you in any other way than to increase your muscle power.

Not exactly crack cocaine guys!! :wink:

Oh yes it does. It turns you into an oversized beachball by the you reach your early 40's :D

Re: The Benzo's, as far as I know they are prescription only in Thailand (despite being sold over the counter) as well as UK, so illegal to carry without prescription.

Disguise them as harmless aspirin by peeling off the gelatin coating and scratching the Anadin logo into each one with pin. :thumb:

I know an Irish fella who goes twice a year to Koh Samui. He fills his suitcase with steriods, pills, injectables, all sorts, takes them back to Ireland & sells them in his local gyms.

This payes for his trips to Thailand, he has been stopped at customs, but simply said they're for personal use, & they let him go.

Not sure if I'd fancy risking it myself though, I believe steriods are legal to own in the UK, but illegal to sell.

some points:

Personal consumption and importation now only covers you for a 3 month supply. Some steroids and other illegal HGH will get you nicked.

UKBA now pay very close attention to any suitcases stuffed with pharma products. Even if they "let it run" your details get recorded and that intell can and often is disseminated to the concerned pharma companies and MHRA for their attention and potential investigation.

If its found you are transporting too much product, counterfeit product, or unlicensed products like Kamagra, (which its illegal to distribute in the UK), then you may just land in a world of hurt..... and have someone from the private sector who works for the pharma companies or a MHRA team investigating you.

Selling or distributing even one tablet is a criminal offence. If its a branded product you could also be sued in a civil action by the respective pharma company (like some wag in Ireland who thought of doing the gym thing - lost his house and is doing bird).

UKBA, MHRA and the private sector have made this one of their top priorities. Be warned.

Caveat Emptor old chum.....

How Steroids Can Affect The Penis
By Andrew W John

Even though steroids have been banned by every major sport and even high school sports, people are still using steroids. Mostly the people that use them are bodybuilders, athletes, and people that feel that they need them to look stronger. Steroids can also be used as a pain reliever in some cases, but mostly they are used to give a look of strength because they promote growth of tissues and muscles to give men and some women the larger muscles that they are looking for. Steroids are not healthy for you in general and can cause a plethora of side effects and even death in some cases.

Anabolic steroids are the most common steroids used. Besides making muscles bigger they also bring more testosterone to a man who is using them. Testosterone is mainly known to produce the masculine features that accompany a growing boy during puberty. Due to this fact, anabolic steroids are used by many men who think that it will help increase the size of their penis and the erection that they can achieve. Steroids are expensive though, and many men cannot keep up with the cost to see if their penis actually gets larger because of it. That means that instead of actually using steroids they may try other steroid containing substances that can also be dangerous for them.

What men do not realize is that steroids cannot enhance or enlarge the penis in any way. In fact, the result is quite the opposite. The effects of steroids do not just stop at damaging the body, but they can cause a man to become impotent either temporarily or permanently. When taking steroids the sexual desire is decreased significantly and it is hard to even get an erection. Essentially, the penis becomes paralyzed and is unable to perform as it should. Over an extended period of usage, steroids can even cause a penis to “shrink” to a much smaller size then it once was. This is of course not completely studied as of yet, but many people believe that this is the case. Most likely it is the steroids that are stopping the penis from getting erect and thereby showing the penis in the non-erect state rather than actually causing the penis to shrink. No one can really reach a definite conclusion.

One thing is true though. While steroids may not cause shrinkage, it most certainly can aggravate the situation. Steroids should never be used for any reason. The danger is just too great, not only to your penis, but to your entire body.

Written By Dr. Mustafa.

Effects of Steroids From Survey of 10,000 Athletes:

Pros

Increased leanness / muscle definition
Increased muscle mass / weight
Increased strength
Increased effectiveness of training
Improved recovery rate
Euphoria
Increased aggressiveness
Increased sex drive

Cons

Slight headaches
Sore injection area

You can build up any argument from cut and paste off the internet. Own opinions or factual evidence if possible helps a balanced debate.

Maybe one for foo " Steroid use (in or out of Hua Hin)..... Good or Bad? :rasta:

Steroids are dangerous.
When they are prescribed by a doctor there is a course and there is a need to reduce the level at a controlled rate.
In an emergency. Usually an acute asthma attack they will be administered iv or im along with other treatment.
However this will be followed up by a course usually administered orally.
The side affects can be catastrophic.
Trust me the administration of steroids isn't taken lightly by clinicians.
for 30 years or more athletes have found it enhanced there performance.
But at a cost.
Bless the LOS hardly known for its counterfieting prowess.
If i ever find a "Genuine" pair of levis for 500 baht with both legs the same length,
A watch that still works when you leave swampi.
i'll let you know.
And you choose to take a phial of liquid which may contain ANYTHING and iv it.
Worse still you may let your friends inject it.
We all take our choices.
Personally the common sense approach is don't smuggle drugs.

Only just noticed our beloved HHAD are promoting supplements which get stacked with steroids 99 percent of the time in the top left. Something about hormone growth I think.

Steroid users take these as they want to get more powerful and bigger, quicker.

Can't be that dangerous if this squeeky clean website is promoting its use. :duck: :neener:
