Importing Plants and Herbs

It seems to me from the attached "Plant Quarantine Import Regulations Thailand" that only the species that are listed are restricted or prohibited and all other items are free to import.

That means I can import any type of plant (dead or alive), any herb, any type of seeds, any other plant products as long as it doesn't appear on that list.

Have I understood this correctly?

Not quite. Officially, according to the Cites agreement, you should request the presence of a phyto-sanitary inspector who will certify that the plants etc you are bringing through are what you say they are.

Good luck with that, this is Thailand. I just bung seeds into my hand luggage. I do wonder however, what plants, herbs or seeds you plan to import that can't be found her already. Many people order stuff from firms that are willing to export to Thailand, they don't seem to have any problems.
