Shoeboat Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatboy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeichen Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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).

KhunBENQ Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 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!

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post JackieMager Posted November 10, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2013 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
