    That's interesting regarding each passenger carrying their own allowance.

    I can understand it, and I'm not arguing. Can you say definitely the regulations don't state it should be carried per passenger?

    Is this only Thai regulations you're referring to, or is it a more international thing?

     

    if you get stopped by customs anywhere in the world the 2 questions asked are did you pack bags and are you carrying for someone else. pretty much means you cannot carry for others

    Bangkok airways are experts at confiscating your duty free booze of you. When travelling from Bangkok to Samui I have been hit 3 times by them even tho I had  purchase receipts and they were sealed  they even confiscated a very large sealed jar of marmite . I bet the staff have a hell of a party with all the stuff they seize and of you refuse to hand it over they don’t allow you to get on the flight  I now fly to Suratthani and get the ferry but at least I haven’t had anything taken off me .

    i know a girl in thailand who has a 5 year old girl who absolutely loves marmite

    I can't believe I'm saying this: I agree with the customs officials. (And I hate them).

     

    A "group" is not a legal entity that enters a sovereign state. If the law says you can't have more than 1 litre and you have 3 litres in your bag, you're subject to tax. They made a silly mistake and then went online screaming injustice.

     

    If the "group" exception IS a new way to get around the import tax, next time I'll load my bag with 23 litres and if questioned will mention that I cam with a "group" of about 250 passengers.

     

    Again, I have little love for customs (I've had to pay for homemade clothes sent to me <deleted>)

    totally agree how do the customs know who it belongs to, your always told to only carry your own stuff nothing for anybody else.

    same with cigarettes as all posters know, so why they think this is a scam beggars belief.

    I'm seriously confused, so hopefully someone can help me on this apparent 'misunderstanding' between Indians/Thais.

    I may be wrong but didn't this whole fiasco start on the beach when an/some Indian(s) were told by some Thais (mafia?) to remove themselves and their mat from an area which was 'owned' by someone?

    Seems to me, but I may be wrong that there's been an attempt to cover up what was considered a stain on Pattaya's pristine image as a friendly family resort.

    good point would like to know myself, if only i could speak thai i would know what that woman is saying
