harrry Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Yorkshire Gold. My all time favorite! Over the past years I have brought it into Thailand in my checked bags. Anyone know if it can bought in any Thai supermarkets? Don't be taken in by the Yorkshire Gold scam. Their are no tea plantations in Yorkshire! Well where does that yellow gold fluid come from. On second thoughts do not tell me I do not want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Can I bring tea bags in my luggage? This got anything to do with paying "tea money" ? You think the BIB would accept the tea bags instead of the folding stuff ? Just wondering... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre0720 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I brought tea leaves in my checked baggage from America. TSA busted the (TSA approved) lock (then discarded it), dumped everything out, smashed one of my XBOX 360 game cases & shoved everything back in; shirts all waded up. Guess it depends where you fly out from. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand America was it... Well, that might explain it.....

Bpuumike Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Travel tip: Larger boxes of tea bags are bulky. Put your tea bags into several re-sealable small plastic bags. Spread those among your clothes, etc and they will take up much less space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the "Peoples' Republic of America," aka United States. Even in Vietnam, they have the courtesy to pull you to one side to open your stowed luggage if they thing there is something wrong with it - ie if you put a laptop in your stowed luggage. In the PRA/USA, they just bust it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhendis Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Consumables are not allowed. The reason is that they can deteriorate and/or carry unwelcome contaminants into another country. Tinned stuff is also not allowed. Thats the official line. I have got away with it many times. My favourite item for smuggling being Tetleys tea bags and marmite.

DLP Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Mine come through the post a along with Weetabix for the little one! I noticed a few weeks back that Tesco Lotus are stocking Weetabix now.

TommyTucker Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Firstly - weetabix, most supermarkets sell the Australian version named Sanatarium or similar. Not expensive, many varieties and delicious. Secondly - tea, take out of the cardboard packaging and pack in either the main luggage or cabin luggage. We have bought in fine teas including Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Yorkshire Tea, Assam, Darjeeling, English Breakfast, 1706 Strong Breakfast and Assam with vanilla.

JeremyBowskill Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 No, you can't. You will be stopped, searched and most likely shot for importing tea bags! don't do it. how misleading! This is Thailand, not aussie Quarantine. I got told off entering Oz-land for saying I had no food stuff with me, and then they located half a bar of chocolate. However, Thailand is very easy going, and I always bring heaps of things back here with me, and no problems. Just don't try anything illegal. I'm sure tea bags from the mountains of Yorkshire would be ok!! You actually took my post serious??? Amazing Thailand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Nixon Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Bringing food to Thailand is like bringing coals to Newcastle. All the food is here with most of the flavours. You may have to explore a little more but really, if you are here , you are already an explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to explore a little more but really, if you are here , you are already an explorer. don't agree. Try buying Malaysian or Indonesian packets/tins/bottles. I like the Indonesian noodles as they are more flavoursome and not drowned in chilly; the Malaysian rendang made by the AYAM company is not sold here. Only their baked beans and tinned fish. I wrote to the AYAM company, asking why the range the sell in Australia is not sold here, and the reply was that "Thais do not like Malaysian food". However, that said, I am impressed with the great range of Thai and ethnic food available here; some of the Indian and British prepared meals are very tasty. We all have different tastes, so we eat what we like best. Depends what our mothers/wives raised us on. But I will continue exploring the shops for Yorkshire Tea, 'baht hat.
