thx1138 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Not sure where to post this so I have put it in the general topic section. I would like to bring an XBOX and a few games to give to family on my next trip. I am a bit worried about customs and duty etc after reading posts about customs at the new airport being particularly keen on what arriving passengers are bringing with them. Any info appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Buy one here and save the worry Where are you from, remember there are things like power voltges, TV standards, game regions (not sure about the XBox there), which could thwart your good intentions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work in Thailand (PAL) 220-240 Volts with a plug adaptor for the power. I'm taking it over along with about 20 games and I am worried about customs getting funky with me (after reading another thread about people being stung for relatively minor offences like tobacco, liquor etc). I'm not sure about the Thai rules on bringing in electrical goods and I don't plan to take it back out when I leave. I'll see what happens anyway. A few large changs and a game of HALO 2 will surely go down well with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonc Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I've taken my xBox through the airport twice with no problems. I've also blown the power supply twice even with a new transformer that was more than adaquate for the system. It was easy to fix at MBK but still you might give that a thought. For a 1000B on the 6th floor at MBK they will put in a second chip so you can play the games they sell Your Kids and your wallet might enjoy a new slew of games for a quid.
