Taking Cheese To Thailand

[Forkinhades]

Am I allowed to take cheese into Thailand? or do I need to declare it?

[Tafia]

Friends always bring me cheese when they visit, ensure its vacum packed and stored in luggage shouldnt be a problem

[Forkinhades]

yes it is, but do I need to declare it?, and I want to bring a leg of lamb?

[Maejo Man]

Probably not, would be my answer, without checking the Thai customs site, but it never stops me bringing 10/15Kg of it back to carry me throught till the next trip.

I love a good Stilton and a ripe Blue Castello which are night on impossible to come by.

Your bag will be ex-rayed when you leave your sheep filled land, so this will definately make the ex-ray operators eyes bulge. Have it de-boned, and the bag well sealed or you might have some bloody things when you unpack!

I always bring cheese, especially if I transit through Amsterdam, you can buy lamb in Chiang Rai at Northern Farms.

Sorry! I thought I was posting on Crai Forum.

I know others outlets sell lamb in LOS, I've seen it in Makro.

yeah think i will give the lamb a miss, can buy it anyway, just a little expensive

I'll agree to that, the last time I came back from Amsterdam I brought back 5-10 kilos of just cheese! (I like cheese) The lamb in Thailand is fine, just not the cheese.

What's with the missionary fervour, trying to bring Jesus to Thailand? What? You said cheeses? Oh. Carry on. Forget I spoke.

Been X-tray few months ago, 4 kilo of goat cheese in my luggage, I get them vacum as well.

He just look at me and said ‘ FOOD’ I said YES CHEESE, he said OK

I think meat is more dedicated products, whio can not be bring in Thailand

Same, bought at Schiphol Amsterdam, at bangkok they checked my bags, nothing happened.

Had 4 x 1 KG.

I too have carried a few kgs of good local English cheeses with me, over the past few trips, luckily that nice TOPS-Supermarket stocks biscuits-for-cheese (from Waitrose ?) so don't have to carry them too ... leaves more space for extra cheese !
