I don't understand why you want a prescription when you can just buy it otc? It's like asking for a prescription for a bandaid.

Its so that i can get it legitly next time, can order online etc without fear of getting caught by customs. Also useful in case customs ever does a random check

Its a bit unusual what you're doing. You didn't post your location, but are you sure there isn't an easier way?

A few years ago I was thinking of traveling to Bangkok for HRT as well. Luckily I didn't need to.

There's been posts here before about seeing doctors for HRT in Bangkok. I think its pretty difficult finding anyone since that's not how it works there. There was one place if I remember correctly, but I don't remember who it was.

You might also find a prescription from Bangkok doesn't help you with anything when ordering online to a different country. I don't know though.

There's usually a limit on how much you can take back with your. 3 months into Australia for example. I've traveled with HRT quite often and they have never even looked at it. Even if they did I doubt they would care unless they were after you for something else - assuming we're talking about estrogen, not testosterone.

I use implants these days, and I'm over a year between getting new ones. If you could find somewhere in Bangkok who would do them that could mean you only need to travel once a year, or less.
