Iranian Couple Caught Robbing Saudi Tourist in Bangkok

Thailand's Customs Department seized unlicensed goods and obscene materials worth over ฿40.7 million, according to Panthong Loikulnan, an advisor on tax administration and the department's spokesperson.

 

This action follows Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s policy to crack down on illegal imports, including substandard goods, to protect public safety.

 

The Ministry of Finance, under Deputy Prime Minister Phichai Chunhavichit and Deputy Finance Minister Julphan Amornwiwat, has directed customs officials to intensify enforcement.

 

Customs Director-General Teerachai Attanawanich has consistently instructed officers to focus on preventing such goods from entering the country.

Recent seizures include 169,000 LED light bulbs from China worth ฿549,492, which lacked required certification from the Industrial Product Standards Office (TISI). The confiscation followed a court-authorised warehouse raid.

 

On 10th October, a joint operation with the Bangkok Customs Office and Fisheries Department led to the inspection of a suspicious container. Inside, officials found 10 tonnes of dried shark and stingray parts worth ฿40 million, in violation of various customs and wildlife protection laws, reported Siam Rath.

 

On 17th October, Nakhon Phanom customs officers seized 400 male sex toys worth ฿200,000, which were smuggled to avoid taxes and legal restrictions. Customs officials will continue enforcing compliance with customs and related laws.

Are these 'parts' considered obscene ? or is that referring to the male sex toys ?

If they confiscation ALL unlicensed products from China, the entire Thailand sell-on economy would collapse

At 500 baht each they certainly ought to.  250 baht on Lazada for a perfectly serviceable item, USB chargeable, free delivery.
