Godolphin Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think you can get it at Foodmart on the Thappraya road on the way to Jomtien. They have a good range of rolling tobaccos there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittychangchang Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 There's a geezer called Frankie who brings it over by the pallet load in a transit van and sells it at the dog and duck public house on walking street, keep stum though. Don't tell everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpio Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 What i really want to know is how much golden virginia i can buy duty free at airport, i have heard there is a restriction on it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Doubt there's a restriction on how much you can buy, but there's certainly a restriction on how much you can take into UK which is 250g per person. Edit: I saw it at the airport duty free in December so you might try checking at King Power in Pattaya to compare prices.

pattayadingo Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 What i really want to know is how much golden virginia i can buy duty free at airport, i have heard there is a restriction on it now I find it helps if you smile when the nice customs lady searches your bags in the UK. I get away with about 10 50g packs of virginia and 200 cigs. I smile and say it is for my own personal use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, the last few times through LHR & LGW from here with no Europe stops. I was searched every time. The customs were not looking for ciggies, but looking for drugs. I was honest about what I was carrying each time and allowed through with no problems. Being polite and a smile can still do you some good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All no longer that cheap since pressure applied by HMG a few years back. On the other hand, you could let me know the name of the pub as I'm back there in 2 weeks - sadly.

It's been about 10 years since I last took some back so maybe the prices have gone up since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
