I would like to buy wine or whiskey here in Phnom Penh and take with me when i fly back to Bangkok next week. Can anyone advise if I can do this, ie buy a bottle from supermarket here, it would be sealed, could that be part of my hand luggage or not? would rather not pack in the hold in view of possible breakages......realise this is more a question of PP airport but wonder if an international code is followed on this matter.......thoughts anyone...thanks.......P

No liquids in containers bigger than 100ml can be carried in hand baggage other than that purchased at the airport duty-free outlet and sealed at the time of sale.

Put it in checked.

Agreed, you'll get it taken away from you if you try to take it on board with you.

Put the bottle into a zip-loc bag, then wrap your clothes around it - makes a good buffer against breakage.

Pad the bottles well when you pack them and they'll be fine when you pop them in the hold.

Don't buy in the airport duty free!

The "duty free" shop in Phnom Penh airport is ridiculously expensive compared to the prices charged in local supermarkets such as Lucky or Pencil.

Good luck!

Shopped in Duty Free in PP last week and the prices were about the same as in town, they had more prestige label drinks and smokes, prices reflect higher quality ie-J. Walker Bleu/Green ... Just easier to get it at the airport and hand carry. PS -the smokes do not have ugly pics on them! But limited selection.
