Transit stop bankok regarding duty free

Hi

I will be travelling on Thai airways from greece to sydney and have a trainsit stop in bankok. I wanted to buy duty free alcohol from in the terminal in greece and carry it on board but am concerned that when they check my bags again in bankok they will take my carry on luggage again. Does anyone know what happens regarding this issue

Transit stop bankok regarding duty free

I was informed by check in staff at Bangkok 3 weeks ago that I was not allowed any liquids in my carry on.

Friends also told me that this last weekend they had to leave tooth paste and mouthwash that they had in their carry on.

Best advice is to call Thai Air and ask them their current policy.

Transit stop bankok regarding duty free

They started a couple months ago about the liquids on board. However they made exception to the duty free products just bought/collected at the airport Idunno if Thailand%26#39;s airports only or not). So you MIGHT get this exception if you said your luggae was checked through and you keep the liquid in the duty free bags with receipt.

TO be sure +662 1321888 Suvannabhumi airport

thank you :)

Only liquids exceding 100 ml volume per bottle bought inside BKK airport allowed on board for your SYD bound flight.

Hi Cath,

I have the same question with a different start location. Did you try and bring duty free booze through transit? Did you have success?

I know that generally the rules are not to allow the liquids over 100ml, but are they enforced? Especially on Transit passengers?

Cheers,

Julian

Bangkok airport rules are that no liquids are allowed to be carried onto an aircraft unless they are in the see through bag supplied by the duty free shop.

The rule also applies to transit passengers.

On my last trip I was asked by the check in staff if I had ANY liquids in my carry on as they are not allowed in the cabin.

A previous poster even stated he had to leave his toothpaste behind.

We returned through BKK airport yesterday and were asked about liquids, gels etc. We showed them our clear plastic baggy with toothpaste, eye drops etc in and were told just to keep it available for inspection in our luggage. We bought some perfume which was sealed in a plastic bag and we were told to keep them in the sealed plastc bag.

Thanks for your responses.

They do enforce the 100ml rule for items not in sealed bags (I had to quickly drink a 150ml redbull that I%26#39;d left in my backpack)

We bought some liquids (perfumes / cosmetics) in duty free in Bangkok on our way to Tokyo, and had no problem with this, presumably because they were in the sealed duty free bags.

My question is if the same treatment applies to duty free purchases from other airports. I%26#39;d prefer take the sake in cabin luggage where it%26#39;s less likely to get broken.

Thai Airways do allow liquid gels, etc. in the cabin, subject to the usual 100 mL container max inside the 1 litre plastic bag. They also allow liquids purchased in duty free so long as they are in the sealed duty-free bag.

From the Thai Airways website:

regulations on liquids, aerosals, gels for thailand

all liquids, aerosals and gels and/or similar substances must be carried in the container with a capacity not greater than 100ml or equivalent in other volumetric measurement. liquids, aerosals and gels carried in the container larger than 100ml will not be accepted.

the containers must be placed in a transparent re-sealable plastic bag of a maximum capacity of 1 litre. the plastic bag must be completely closed.

only 1 plastic bag per passenger is permitted and the plastic bag must be presented for examination at the screening point.

the plastic bag must be presented apart from other cabin baggage, coats, jackets and laptops (computer notebooks) for separate screening. exemption is made for medicines and baby milk/food. however, appropriate and proportionate means of verifying the nature of such liquids are needed at the screening point.

exemption is also made for liquids, aerosals and gels purchased at the airport duty free shop or on-board aircraft. such items must be placed in the sealed plastic bag that is tamper-evident and displays the proof of purchase on the traveling date. such regulation is also applied with transfer passenger.

Hi Cath120

Unless there is a very good reason not to, I would get your duty free on arrival in Australia
