Sandman77 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 hello! Can someone provide me a list of food and drinks are allowed to import buy airplane and how much? Are any limitations? Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have brought pretty much anything I have desired. I have had my luggage checked, and all the inspectors were looking for was to make sure I did not have more than the allowed amount of alcoholic beverages. They have pushed aside olives, olive oil, vinegar, Diet Dr. Pepper, tortillas, spices, a frozen turkey, salami, Heinz 57, and the like while looking for the alcohol.

Ricardo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Never any problem with breakfast-cereals, mustard & horseradish-sauce, Hellmann's mayo or Branston pickle, sweets or chocolate, cheese or Oxo-cubes, gravy-granules or dried-soups, HP-sauce or mixed-herbs, Christmas-cake or pud or mince-pies.

Crossy Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I don't believe there is a list of allowable items, if it's processed (dried, canned) then no issues whatever, if it's not alcohol or tobacco pretty much anything goes at least in quantities acceptable for personal consumption. Plants, fruit, seeds etc are supposed to be declared and inspected by the quarantine chaps but many don't bother. If our OP could say what he intends bringing and how much, maybe we could make an educated guess as to whether he could have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutoie2 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 How about English cheese?, going home myself in Sept. and thinking of bringing some double Gloucester or Red Leicester back, oh and maybe some fresh bakers yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whybother Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 How about English cheese?, going home myself in Sept. and thinking of bringing some double Gloucester or Red Leicester back, oh and maybe some fresh bakers yeast. They allow any cheese except English cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutoie2 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I can get hold of cheddar & black pudding here. Culinary advice from the Scots always reminds me of the Dr's quote: “Oats. A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.” Samuel Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother with the cheese, you can buy it all here...mostly likely got to freeze it for journey and never the same when you thaw it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool enough in the baggage hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK...but what the extended periods of time when its not in the baggage hold, some of those flight containers sit for hours on an apron waiting to be loaded, and would imagine it would get quite toasty inside one of those aluminum containers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the suitcase would also insulate it to some extent - not keep it cold, but stop it from getting hot too quick. Besides ... you're talking about coming from the UK. Does it get hot there?
