JayBlake Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Doors to manual at BKK in two weeks. Anyone know how much a pack of B&H are from 7/11? Here in UK it's over £6 (300Bt +). Dubai airport it's £1.50 (75Bt). Should I bring my own or will I end up costing myself more as well as providing some humiliarty to the Thai customs guys?

Boater Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 7-11 dont sell B and H any more, only place in thailand that sells them is King Free Duty .... Here in UK it's over £6 (300Bt +). getting a deal there, 7.55 last place i checked... are you flying from the UK or Dubai, best bet is to buy them in the duty free at UK or Dubai... also to note, on exit / entry to swampy, you can buy them for 550 THB for 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I asked. Flying from UK via Dubai. But the BKK duty-free price looks good at 55THB per pack (great price). Pity that they're no longer sold at 7/11 (by the way, how is a person supposed to know what brands they DO sell since they can't be displayed anymore? I can feel a Monty Pythonesque "Cheese Shop" sketch developing). Thanks so much for letting me know, Boater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARISTIDE Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 300Bt for a pack of cigarette! This is impossibly expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZEMADE Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 300Bt for a pack of cigarette! This is impossibly expensive! 70Bt for a pack of LM's at 7/11. Why on earth would you pay more or even think of bringing cig's into Thailand. Duty Free is more expensive than 7/11. Buy them here in Thailand mate.

rak sa_ngop Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I don't think you can beat Dubai prices on cigarettes. Last month I bought 200 Gold Leaf for less than 10 GBP. I don't smoke now but always buy d/fs. One thing I would be careful about is buying well known brands in Thai d/f because I don't think they always tell you the country of manufacture. I suspect many are made under licence in SE Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect many are made under licence in SE Asia. They DO produce them locally... and therefore the tabacco smells completely different. I'm smoking Marlboro Gold, but when buy them in Thailand, after 3 days I start coughing like a REAL chain smoker... so in Thailand, I switch to Marlboro red which are almost equal to the Gold here in Europe.

BeAstMaSter Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 do the stores sell Pall mall's there? and at what price? if no Pall mall's, what is the best non filter in Thailand, other than Camel's (I hate the taste of camel's and won't smoke em here either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pack of Marlborough Red 25's in Australia at Woolies is A$16-35. What a joke. How much TAX is the Gov getting and Woolies is still making a fat profit.

dogleg Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 L&M Tabs warning - May cause a slight cough! If 200 B&H will last you most or all of your visit, then go for Dubai duty free, if not, bite the bullet and try LMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
