Elkski Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Just wondering if these machines are going to be installed before Christmas. I read somewhere where there was some construction observed near the outgoing checkpoint at Swampy. Just wondering what the latest status is on bringing in fun toys for the bedroom. Vitamins Toothpaste Various facial products Clothing items All not for resale Also in USA you can travel with guns and knives in check in luggage. What are the rules for say a hand sickle? Was thinking some good steel may be appreciated in the village. I am wondering if they are to heavy as probably made for wheat or barley. 250-310 grams Edited December 5, 2019 by Elkski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Seriously, I could check these 3 sickles in my check in bag no problems. Can check in guns as easy as skis. Just show a gun is unloaded and in a gun case. Many hunters and competitors travel with long guns. My GF did tell me cant take on plane in Thailand but I dont see why not.

You can not take a realistic toy gun or a knife or gaffa tape or a bicycle chain on a commercial flight. As for guns: I would hope you would be arrested if one was found in your luggage. As for the scythes: I can not see any justification for having them in a city. Everyone of the items on your list are available in Thailand. In short I suggest the introduction of XRay machines is to stop people like you bringing in the types of dangerous items you refer to. I do hope they are successful. Good luck.

Elkski Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 You guys are so brainwashed that you deplore freedom to carry farm tools? These are antiques but I thought perhaps good quality steel. 2 have far superior handles to the ones I've seen used in Thailand and one is very well made with forged parts. I collect old tools and appreciate fine craftmanship. Maybe this is not appreciated by most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidJames Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Can anyone update us on the works at Customs though? There was a large screened off area last week when I pasted through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotbot Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 The x ray machines have been installed in the baggage area, so bags will be x rayed before going on the belt for collection. They are pretty much ready to be used. The work in the Green Channel is just routine maintenance. There is already a small x ray machine there anyway.
