Jan0 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have stayed in Pinas for quite a few months now and have come to a conculusion in beleiving that Western prison food is in higher quality then ordinary pinoy food I have tried various dishes and also have tried mang inasal but I did not enjoy the cuisine Im sure there should be people who have no issue with Pinas food but for me im just off that stuff..... I want to ship or stock my own yoghurt, meat, delicacies, and other food products/items but I assume it could get stopped by border force Is there a way that I can get a special pass to bring all those in??? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiaora1968 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You can't bring meat products into Thailand, that's sure. On my flight to Bangkok, last week, Etihad made an announcement that bringing meat products into Thailand is subject to a fine of maximum 200k baht and a 2 years jail term... I would say good luck for obtaining an import permit for private import/consumption. Yoghurt, cheese, biscuits etc shouldn't be a problem though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrySeaman Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 "Inasal", marinated Filipino bar-b-q chicken, is the clue that he is asking about the Philippians even though "Pinas" is a region in France. Actually I had a friend who used to bring back lots of USA food stuffs, canned or bottled, to Thailand when ever he visited the Philippians. I suspect if the OP checks he can find most of what he wants in grocery stores or online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Iron Tongue Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 You live in the Philippines and you've never heard of a Balikbayan Box? Every Philipino with relatives overseas (all of them) get regular shipments packed with goodies in these flat-rate boxes that are shipped by sea and delivered to your door in about 8-weeks. Customs usually ignore these and you can have family ship these every few months to you. Asian grocery stores will even help you pack & ship these. Since there is no weight limit, you can pack it completely full of everything you miss from home, although I'd suggest no yogurt or fresh meat. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unblocktheplanet Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Been bringing two 70lb suitcases filled with Costco, Trader Joe's, Amazon from the US & Canada for every person in my family every year for more than 30 years. Wine, too. Never a hassle, even when x-rayed. Deep-freeze smoked salmon & cheese, wrap in two layers of bubble wrap. It won't be frozen when you get here but it will still be cool, ready for your freezer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 My heart goes out to you. I think the food would be one of the hardest things to cope with in the PI. One of the things I love most about Thailand is the food, the quality of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains here. Assuming you are restricted by a budget that compels you to eat in the food courts, and similarly low end establishments. The food sucks in PI. The only other country I can think of with worse food, is Cuba. Granted, if you are willing to spend quite alot of money, you can find good food. But, it is not the general rule, as it is here. Also, the access to fresh fruits and vegetables is pathetic compared to Thailand. Very low quality, and often not fresh. Thailand is a paradise by comparison, when it comes to all things related to food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have brought in cookies, and chocolates in cooled boxes. as well as red and black twizzlers. Candy. It is best to call and ask the authorities first, and the best way is to go to the airport and ask in person to someone who knows the rules.
