Can I bring sausages into Thailand?

[Shoeboat]

I will coming over from the Czech Republic next week and want to bring some tasty cheese and salami as gifts. Will this cause me any problems at Survanabhumi customs?

[meatboy]

if you wrap them in foil and put them in your suit case thats the only way you will get them through unless you get stopped in the green channel.

if you manage it i will give you my address.

[Crossy]

Technically not permitted, in reality you will likely have no problem even if your luggage is x-rayed in the green channel. The customs bods are looking for booze and tobacco, easily located and clearly marked as illegal in the customs area.

I've come through Swampy two dozen times and to this day I have not seen a customs official. I always arrive at 1am, which probably has something to do with it.

Meat pies are my nemesis and I bring more each time I come. Case was 20% meat product last time I arrived.

Now the Thai customs are looking for an emoticon riding through customs on a motorbike at 01-00 hours so they can levy a BIG fine for past demeanours

Do not bring meats of any kind.It really isn't worth breaking the law.

You might not get caught because they are really focused on drugs but occassionally I have seen bags checked.

[WitawatWatawit]

Just give me your flight number and arrival date and I'll square it off with the lads. My fee is modest.

My ex always brings me cheese and salami when she comes back from Germany - no problems. Not a bad ex, eh? Some people marry the wrong one - I divorced the wrong one.

[Jip99]

Bring them in.

Confiscation is the only risk - and that is a remote possibility.

I would usually bring in about 8 kilos of extra mature or vintage Cheddar.

sausages and pies I would not bother with as there a very good ones available in Thailand (for my taste).

one time i came in with 20 tins of spam.and 5lbs.of welsh salty butter.

[Shoeboat]

Cheers for the replies, I'm sure i'll be fine. One sausage and a chunk of cheese, wurst case (sorry ) scenario seems to be confiscation.

I brought my sausage back in my trousers ,done it dozens of times without a problem.

How do you do the pies?

My Lassie got the taste for a chunky beef one in Australia (that and a French Vanilla Slice) ... what's the process for freezing, wrapping for flight, keeping it cool so it doesn't spoil etc ... how do you do it?

They're not looking for cocktail sausages.

[KhunBENQ]

The risk ist acceptable. Probability to be checked is low.

Just avoid any of the high risk goods as an addon (tobacco, alcohol),

Punishment for those is ridicolously hard.

Don't carry any duty free bags with you!

hi dai i always fridge it first, then wrap in foil,then in between eg.towells in the front of the case where it will get the best support.

from home in the uk.to phuket 25hrs plus, with butter and still good on arrival.sausages and bacon freeze first wrap in a towel then put them in a plastic container.

Only because it is in the general topics........anywhere else and I would not point out........I would possibly refrain from using the words....

"My lassie" and "got the taste for a chunky beef one" in the same sentence. Not sure what a French Vanilla Slice is.......

I use three small insulated chilli-bags, the kind that you take to the rugby to put your beer in. But I add 2 of those frozen freezer thingies, I just call them cool-packs. They're frozen plastic liquid things that you add to a chilli-bag to keep things cooler.

Refrig before you pack. They're in my suitcase for about 18 hours and come out at refrigerator temperature. Throw in a towel to soak up the minimal moisture the cool-pack will release - no problem.

[franckchiangmai]

Yes you can.

I have brought 3 kilos cheese and cooked meats,customs saw them and let me go without a word.

Same as what I do from Aus, last load was 10kg's of sausages and a 2 dozen meat pies. All still frozen when unpacked.

Did not realise I was breaking the law, if only someone in Pattaya would make a proper Aussie style BBQ sausage.

Considering they put peoples pets in the luggage hold I suspect it does not get to freezing point.

[JackieMager]

ive bought in lamb chops, leg of lamb with no problem at all, cheese..they just said to enjoy it......they dont care at all as long as u dont bring in drugs stuffed into the sausages... and also get a little ice pack and wrap all in silver foil. Id even carry it in...no wurries. The most is they take it off you..but I doubt.

[Skint]

I brought salami from Germany and some cheese no issues put them in a cold bag I got from super market and still cool when I checked outside airport.

Do not bring meats of any kind.It really isn't worth breaking the law.

You might not get caught because they are really focused on drugs but occassionally I have seen bags checked.
