What is so unbelievable about that? I routinely inject on the subway, in the street, on the bus, etc. etc. and so forth. MDI is exactly what is says MULTIPLE daily injections. When traveling I always end up getting food from a street vendor, and as such, have to inject in the street. Never had a problem in Britain or anyplace else in Europe. (or in America for that matter... well I get questions sometimes in the States, but when I say "Diabetes" they always say "oh, ok ma'am" whereas in Europe it is the stranger that usually says "Diabetes?" if they say anything at all)
RUFC_MD: I do, however, advise against injecting in public in Thailand and / or Malaysia, unless you are with someone who is aware of your situation, and is fluent in the language of the place. If you are with somebody who can explain it, i wouldn't worry so much. If not, it would probably be safer to go to the loo or someplace private (but if you are in public it is almost safer to make a big show rather than trying to hide... if you are trying to hide you look guilty) You are on pens, correct? That will work to your advantage as well, as they do not make Heroin in easy to carry pen form. I also agree with the advice already given, to carry a letter from your doctor (translated into Thai and Maylay) explaining what everything is. also carry the scripts for EVERYTHING. Avoid injecting in public as much as you possibly can, but if you must, you must, just be prepared. Perhaps get advice from the British consulate in Thailand and or Malaysia?
