PattayaParent Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Was 120 BAht last time I used it about 1 year ago. They're located at the top of the escalators on the departures floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surangw Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 How much good does that do if the security wants to inspect inside your baggage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payboy Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Pattaya Parent Thanks, any idea approximately which gate number that would be at? Gate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Pattaya Parent Thanks, any idea approximately which gate number that would be at? Gate 3 There's a couple of locations, gate 3 sounds about right and at the top of the farther one along so I'd guess about gate 6? They're easy enough to spot.

how241 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 How much good does that do if the security wants to inspect inside your baggage? That's what I wonder about. When you land, do you cut it off for customs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you land, do you cut it off for customs? Only if they request it-the main concern is that it has arrived safely and intact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 How much good does that do if the security wants to inspect inside your baggage? That's what I wonder about. When you land, do you cut it off for customs? Only if they request it-the main concern is that it has arrived safely and intact? Yep. The idea is to make sure nothing extra gets put in your luggage that YOU didn't put in there. Don't want to be somebody's mule and be transporting something. Also it can help any claim you have if something is found missing upon arrival at your destination and if the wrap is missing. Take a photo at the check in desk and at the luggage on arrivals. After watching a few episodes of "Locked up Abroad" recently on TV, I envision taking as many precautions as possible. Usually I just travel with a carry on. I keep an old large hard American Tourister suitcase around. The one that used to be in the old TV commercial where the "Gorilla" would be cut in and shown tossing the luggage around as a bell hop or cabbie. I still laugh at that. Nothng against soft luggage, but when I bring my suitcase it is the rock. Amazingly on one trip it somehow still got massively dented along the hinge line. Takes quite a whack for that to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) The wrapping service is available at gates 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9 so you shouldn't have any problem finding it. Still 120 Baht. Edited June 1, 2012 by PattayaParent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haveaniceday Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 That's what I wonder about. When you land, do you cut it off for customs? This is not a problem at all, in oz they happily cut it away with a smile. The chap even made the comment that BKK is well knows for theft last time I went through with lots of food to declare in the wrapped bag. The wrapping was 700grams in weight, weight it before and after on the same scales at the wrapping boy. Several at BKK on departures near the entry doors.
