The Dan Sai Kid Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Do you have to pay duty on opened bottles of perfume? Me and my wife are moving back to LOS after 2 years in the UK, and my wife has amassed a few bottles of perfume. Can she take them back to Thailand without paying duty? There are about a dozen bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonman Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 No specific restriction on perfume as far as I am aware. Just comes within 10000 baht limit for bringing goods into the country. Unless you come across some female expert don't think Customs would know how much they came to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonman Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Forgot to mention, that's 10000 baht each person. You could always where a dab to show half of it is yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just head right out of the airport through the nothing-to-declare lane. In twenty something years of going in and out of Bangkok hundreds of times, I've seen only a handful of people stopped by customs and every one of those have been prosperous-looking Thais who had all the earmarks of just returning from a shopping expedition to Hong Kong.
