I think the fact that they aren't sold openly here -- and the way in which those who do sell them sneak around -- is a pretty good confirmation that they are illegal.
I have never heard of anyone being prosecuted, and have no idea what the penalties would be if you were to be caught selling/possessing/using.
I guess it would be similar to glue sniffing, as poppers are definitely not classified as a narcotic.
Anyway, all I know is that the last thing you want to do in Thailand is get caught up with the police, so I think it's worth bearing in mind.
