notready Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi, I don't know if this is the right section to post this question. I also tried the search function but couldn't find anything. I would like to bring 2 bottles of olive oil to Thailand in my checked luggage. 2 Liters in total. Would that be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 No issue, but all qualities of olive oil are readily available here, even in Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notready Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 So I wouldn't need any papers or anything. Thank you Crossy for the fast reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Put another way, you can very easily buy good quality imported olive oil here in Thailand and it's not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 We buy our olive-oil from Rimping, up in Chiang Mai, the price has fallen from400-450 B/litre to about 250B/litre, over the past year, I guess it must be cheaper at source in Europe ?

nisakiman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I brought a couple of litres of the best Greek olive oil in last year for the in-laws. It was in in my suitcase, and I didn't think twice about it when I came through customs. I'm sure there are no restrictions on small amounts like that. The price, as notready points out, hasn't changed significantly for several years in Europe, so perhaps the import duty has been reduced, and that's why the price has come down.

boike Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 There is almost no difference in price with EU & US. But nice one if it's homemade Sent from my Galaxy S4 4G LTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartempion Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 No problem, I brought 2 litres of top quality olive oil in my luggage together with rare cheese an cold cuts in a 15 kg frigocontainer I stored in my main bag with some ice pads. Total weight was 56kgs! Could do, business class and status with airline. Quality Olive oil and cheese you won' find in Thailand.
