Mario2008 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Costums can always check, and do so randomly. Not only at the bridge, but also further inside after you passed the border. if you have more then the allowed in sigarettes or booze, you will be fined.

Fgis Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Every bag ? I doubt ! Even at Nong Khai they do not xray most of the bags, so at desert Savanakhet border ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hullupullo Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Every bag ? I doubt ! Even at Nong Khai they do not xray most of the bags, so at desert Savanakhet border ? It is different layout there, you can not just walk past it. Been there 3 times now and everytime every bag from everybody. There is big plasticbox after x-ray full of playing cards, lighters etc. And K9 dog check that bus for drugs before they let people back in after thai immigration.

PoorSucker Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 What? U cant bring playing cards and lighters into thailand lol PLAYING CARDS ACT, B.E. 2486 (1943) Section 8. No person shall possess more than one hundred and twenty playing cards or sell playing cards irrespective of their quantity, unless those playing cards have been produced by, or have been stamped with the seal of, the Excise Department.

viewpoint Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just went thru the border. Bag went thru scanner, dog was around too. Good thing i ditched my Lao weed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Maybe 18 months ago I went thru and the Thailand side had a desk of US DEA maybe 4 guys with one asking questions... Kind of weirdly intrusive and I think definitely looking for drugs. Subsequent trip I saw the desk but no DEA guys present. No idea if that is still in effect.
