Having read the thread about the possible demise of the Landing/Departure Cards For Thai Nationals

Here is the Incoming Passenger Card in Thai which can be helpful if your Thai Gf/Missus is travelling alone to Australia and needs a little help.

Do not forget that the duty free concession for cigarettes will change on 1st of September. It will be reduced from 250 to only 50.

Which is great and well overdue!

Strange isn't it that Australia gives a Thai person a card in thai.

The Thai Immigration at nong kai makes a Thai in a Thai passport fill in an entry card in English.

They don't actually 'give a Thai person a card in Thai'.

It was simply a snapshot from their website.

The reason for the posting was that the Australian Government do only give the card in English ... but if you probe around a bit I was able to find one written in Thai which can be printed off and used for translation.

See your point though about giving a Thai person in Thailand a card in English ...

Good point.

Don't care about that ... do care about the booze allowance though!

It's not changing ... just saying like...

They do have cards in foreign languages at all international airports and Thai is one.

Why do you say that, I don't smoke, have never smoked in my life, but i wouldn't begrudge a smoker saving a few bucks on smokes.

Also why is it, I can't buy any duty free booze in Thailand, and take to Australia, have to pay the overinflated prices at arrival in BNE, and that does piss me off.

Maybe someone with more recent experience can comment ... but I thought that you could do that?

Assuming that you don't have to change flights on the way to Australia, has anyone had experience in buying Duty Free, say after they have passed the security check point in Thailand, bought some booze and had no issues bringing it to Australia.

I must admit, I do like some Bundy Rum so my only option is to buy in Australia.

Just so there is some clarity, ripstanley are you saying all International Airports in Thailand and that there is a Departure Card only in Thai?

No I am saying that at Austrlaian airports there are cards for Australian entry that are in different languages. There are many languages and one is Thai..

I flew to Australia in February and was told by the duty Free shop that I could not buy Duty Free. At the departure gate I asked the Thai Airways rep why this was so. His only answer was your government made the rule.
