Leaving Thailand With Previously Bought Duty Free Liquor

[vagabond48]

We flew in May 7th to Bangkok and purchased two duty-free 1 litre bottles of JW which we planned to take with us to China. We live in Chiang Mai and finally flying out of CM to China in a couple of days. Each bottle is still in its sealed duty-free plastic bag with the receipt. Will we be permitted to bring them as duty-free carry-on or will security not allow us bring two large bottles filled with liquid regardless of the sealed plastic bag? We would prefer not to pack them in our checked in luggage unless we have no choice?

You will not be able to hand carry your goods. Security will not permit them to pass the screening point.

How can you keep a bottle of JW unopened for 3 months ?

Not much of a vagabond...........

Yeah and it's the black one but my wife insisted on me buying it for her to brothers when we come to visit them in China. I would've preferred a nice cognac. But at least I will be drinking a nice portion of it with them.

China will not care if you paid tax on the booze or not. They will only worry if you are over the "tax free import" allowance or not. Duty free is only for the country of purchase. Ripstanly is right. They have to be in your checked baggage.
