I usually buy 2 or 3 liters on the plane and 1 at King Power when I arrive to stock my bar at home. I usually only travel with a back pack with my laptop in it when I am going back and forth between the States and Thailand so I have never been asked to put my bag through the xray.

The OP has a choice. He can either risk it and very likely he'll get away with it. If he does get caught he's in a world of financial pain all for the sake of some booze which he could probably have bought as cheaply in Thailand anyway.

they probably select baggage to xray by the way the persons act.

OP, Attempting to import a quantity of liquor only slightly in excess of the limit is not a big deal, especially not in Thailand. If I were you, I probably wouldn't have even asked this question but I guess it depends on how well we know Thailand.

In general, you won't get stopped by customs anyway, unless you are carrying a whole lot of luggage, are very nervous or there was a tip-off that you may be attempting to bring in a prohibited item. I have only been stopped once after all these years and I was carrying a lot of luggage then.

Of course it's best to be legal, but when it comes to a slightly higher than allowed quantity of alcohol, you really shouldn't be making a big deal. The worst that could happen is confiscation of the excess or even the whole amount. In the past, I have also brought in two or three bottles of wine and there was no problem, even when I was carrying them in my Sydney airport duty free bag, clearly visible to the customs officers!

I agree 100%. I just wanted to learn about other people's experiences. With my experiences dealing with Thai Authorities a small bribe can usually turn the wheels of justice in your favor. But some of the horror stories about being fined 400% the amount of the item makes me err on the side of caution.

Agreed. Like I stated in my last two posts I think I will just stick to the 1 L Bottle.

Thanks again very much to everyone's feedback. Although I think Tomtomtom69 is right on the ball on this one, the consequences of getting stopped is grave and not worth the reward.

First you talk about a 1.75L bottle and then you talk about a 1L and some smaller bottles, totaling 1.75L.

If you bring in a 1.75L bottle nobody would be bothered, not even the customs.

If you bring in different bottles, totaling 1.75L you may have a problem.

BUT, as other posters state: You know the rules so why try to avoid them?

Although I agree with your statement in theory, you do understand that I still could get fined and have the item confiscated.

In my humble opinion, I just think it depends on the mood of the customs officials and whether your arrival is during peak hours.

If it's been a slow month, than I might get nailed hard.

I will arrive at midnight and thus it's more likely I will get picked out to get my baggage scanned. If I arrived during noon time I might just have gone through with the original plan.

Go through the Red zone and declare it and you probably won't have a problem.
