I have been going to Thailand for more than 40 years, my bags have never been checked. I bring all my meds, vitamins etc…with me no problem.power banks are not allowed in checked in luggage in all countries. Only allowed in handcarry bags.
👍👍👍ADDITIONAL NOTE: not mention by the author is that the maximum power bank allowed in carry on luggage is 32000mnh in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport but not in Vietnam or Australia airports, any higher than that will be confiscated at the security check in gate. As in my case I had lost mine recently 😭😭😭
I have brought vitamins for 6 weeks on 13 trips. Ziplock bags and in original bottles. In fact I have never had my bags searched. Just passport control and enter country. If you take vitamins and minerals other than a multi or C, they are difficult or impossible to find
I’ve also have never had my bags searched. I’ve traveled to Thailand four times in the past year. Not only have I never had my bags searched, I’ve never seen anyone stopped at customs and searched.
You don't need vitimins if you eat healthy, fresh food. But you've helped make billionaires and savvy marketing, telling you you need their products. There are Vit C rich fruits in Thailand.
I’m an aspiring herbalist and a certified nutrition coach lol you need a lot more than vitamin C I’ll tell You that much .. with all the pollution over there and illnesses I’ve heard I’m ready with the Chinese medicine I’ve studied to combat all that stuff but on the micro nutrient side vitamins C is definitely not the only Vitamin you need in your body there is much more to really function at an optimal level being deficient in a lot of them will be a huge regret when you reach 40s when problems start and then upwards to 60s and 70s and beyond …im 31 now and making sure I cover all my bases before i reach 40 .. 9 years from now like in MMA fighting they say stay ready so you don’t have to get ready ….but I will say there are levels to health and there’s a lot you have to do if you want to function at your best in older age so much is needed … but im a health freak tho so these are my concerns for myself I want to be fit when I’m 70 or older so I’m preparing now …but for the average person definitely make sure to Get adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals daily it will do you some good in the long run
I only found out about the eCigarette rule after I'd entered Thailand, had left Thailand for Laos, and was heading back to Thailand again with my eCigarette in my hand luggage. It was spotted going through the security check at Luang Prabang Airport, and I was told that I wasn't allowed to have it in either Laos or Thailand, and that they were going to confiscate it! I protested, saying that it was expensive and that I needed to keep it, and in the end they agreed to let me keep it, but they had to wrap it in bubble wrap and plenty of parcel tape first. I'd been happily using it in full view of everyone in both Bangkok and Luang Prabang, totally oblivious to the fact that what I was doing was illegal!
I brought my three cats with me to Thailand. No problem whatsoever. I had to wait for a Vet to check them out and present their vaccination records. That was it. When I left Thailand,, I had to get the three cats checked with the Airport Vet the day before departure. Not a problem at all.
Unless it's like a prescription I have to have everyday other than a mini hygiene kit in basic clothes why do people bring giant suitcases to places where clothes cost pennies? Literally, go overseas I just wind up buying some clothes to wear when I get there at least in Asia am I leave you drop them at the front desk long as they're clean and folded someone will take them
I almost forgot about a little weed I had..lol whew!!! But I brought to thailand vapes. And left with vapes.. I had no problems, but my gf got stopped at security because she for got to put our Suncrest and a bottle of water... after I told her many times to make sure all liquids were put in checked baggage.
Also clean your bags and make sure no weed seeds fall into your bags especially waist bags. Airports authorities won't believe that they fall while handing and consuming in Thailand.
Medications aren't generally known for creating problems at the airport. There are millions of people who travel around with chronic medication conditions. Medication is also cheaper to buy in Thailand.
It is called GREED! Thailand wants you to buy your Medications in Thailand and go to a Thailand doctor first to get a prescriptions for them. and keep in mind REAL Medications are sold and taxed at the real world price. I learned this first hand.
Well airport experiences are a whole adventure in and of itself.....traveling out of Pearson vs a smaller airport out of Hamilton Ontario is something else.....
If one needs certain medications, for example a blood thinner to avoid clots or an anti-histamine to stop sneezing or an asthma inhaler, how can one enter Thailand with no trouble?
You can bring your Vitamin in Thailand, as long as you have original box (which have name & ingredients) to prove it just healthy pills not drugs Alots drug trafficker put drugs into pills, you know!! So the more you make it clear & full information, IN CASE IF THEY CHECK YOUR BAGS, its will more easier & faster to explain THEY USUALLY DONT CHECK EVERYONE LUGGAGE. But sometimes they do it suddenly!!
I have various medications for asthma and pain. I have learned to apply to bring them in advance. I received approval for less than 90 day supply. Luckily I only need to bring 30 day supply. I also have a Dr note stating these meds are for personal use only
Your last point about power packs was wrong, you have to carry them in your hand luggage not your hold luggage and they have to be below a certain size
Agree👍👍👍. The maximum power bank allowed in carry on luggage is 32000mnh in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport but not in Vietnam or Australia airports, any higher than that will be confiscated at the security check in gate. As in my case I had lost mine recently
Hi. thanks for the video and useful information. one note: fewer shots that actually show nothing, then the film will be shorter and easier to watch. Cheers 🙂
Drones are allowed in my experience. You need it as to register it with the NBTC when in Thailand. . You cannot register the drone with NBTC outside Thailand.. I would recommend registering it with the CAAT online before you come to save time and have something to show if any issue at the airport. I have brought drones into Thailand on several occasions though without any issue.
I have 249gm DJI Mini 2 drone. I was wondering if this could cause problem while travelling. One of the airlines check-in personnel said below 249gm is allowed as it's detected as a toy drone but they warned they can't guarantee customs checkup cases. Also one of my friends recently travelled to Thailand without any permit papers and carried and flew his drone at Thailand without trouble without any trouble at customs. Would you please let me know what are cases for my drone I really need CAAT and NBTC permission?
@@shabskerketta I haven’t flew out yet I fly out on the 30th October I have looked online and asked my doctor to ring me to double check with him. Hopefully it all goes well just abit worried as I’m travelling to Thailand through Qatar and I wonder how they will be with it? Both strict countries so we’re see I do think tho with my printed prescription and the amount I’m taking they should realise I am not breaking the law in any way.
Would anyone here know the best way I can send some boxes of stuff from the US (Miami) to Bangkok for a few months before I actually get there ? Like a place to store the stuff, and the best way to ship it ? Thank you to anyone with ideas !
Curious about the cigarettes. In Australia which has about the same limits, they give you the option to keep the excess cigarettes/tobacco but you need to pay the tax on them. Do they not do that in Thailand. Also are you talking about declared or undeclared. Again in Australia if you declare items and they are found to be in excess or not allowed you won't get a fine, but if you don't declare them you might get fined.
Thanks for your video. At the 12 minute mark you suggested bringing small amounts of fresh fruit and you might not get caught. It would be wiser not to bring any fresh fruit at all. This way you don't run the chance of getting a fine. It is against the law and you are a guest in their country. Finally, and as you said, Thailand has an abundance of fresh fruit that is very reasonably priced. Keep making videos!
YOU sometimes can find generic Thai made drugs here that is even cheaper. Get your prescription papers in order you can get for 90 days to bring here if you need for more than that let the doctor just double up the dose and call it 90 days anyway
Not sure if they check the power-banks in the airport in Thailand if you carry them on the plane but I got stopped in London last year after going through the X-ray machine because you are only allowed ones with a certain amount of power.
Yes they do got called me in before boarding i had bought a new Samsung phone and got a free gift pack did not open it just put gift bag in cargo luggage they let me off as it was not charged and still in gift pack but i was warned power banks must be in carry on luggage.
@@alandaniel1082 There is a limit on how much power the battery pack can hold if you take it as carry on ( I don’t know why) as they checked mine when I went through security.
All good commonsense stuff. However, I don't actually know anyone that's been stopped at customs in Bangkok. I've walked through maybe 100 times now and never been stopped or had my luggage xrayed. I suppose there is always a first time and better to play it safe!
do i need to register or declare DJI mini 2 drone? because it’s under 250g , can i fly anywhere,where drone is not prohibited. can i fly without registration?
Hello, I have question. I am a vlogger and do landmarks photographies. I have a drone which is 249gm. Can you make a practical example what should I do for carrying them with me at Thailand?
1. Transport (checked at the airport - take the battery out of the drone, and take all your batteries with you in the cabin - take the drone out of the luggage at security as you do with the laptop) 2. Flying (not checked at the airport) (I have a pilot license with me for small drones under 250 g) I register in any country where I fly and receive a number I put on the drone. Check the allowed flight areas on the drone supplier site and on the local site (in Greece, you also have allowed flight hours for some areas)
Hi I would like to ask if canned goods are permitted? We will be in PH before flying to Thailand and thought of buying some of my favorite canned goods in the PH there before going back to Switzerland. And also how about Paracetamol for kids?
the best comment in the entire video. super! if you look for an excuse to leave her behind, the dentist is cheap: filling = $30, a crown = $300 (and the girls are even cheaper)
Hey thanks for making this video! I'm planning on taking a long trip to Thailand starting in September. Question for ya: are there any risks of bringing electronic music equipment?
Power banks are an issue when boarding to take off, not when landing and exiting the airport. It is a new rule in almost any airport because pilots are instructed not to let passengers board airplanes with big batteries. Airport security will check the size and call the airplane pilot, but you will not get approval as pilots do not care about your problems. They want 100% security and all batteries out of their planes. I had 4 huge batteries (2 for laptops (bigger than 32k ) and 2 for phones around 30k). They were retained in the airport in Bucharest, and I got them back in one month when I returned (but the laws are very new, and the batteries may be destroyed as the detention period is not specified) So I transport large batteries by truck and/or buy large batteries at the destination and keep them in friends' houses or rented boxes (where you should check about similar rules) These super large batteries are perfect for laptops, cameras, and phones (even if shops have recently started adding power outlets similar to Starbucks) The reason for this is numerous smoke and fire incidents in planes because a lot of people have no-name batteries with them - or even brand-name phones and tablets caught fire inside planes. So keep only 20k batteries for planes and check the size allowed, as this may dynamically decrease in time.
That is valid to a lot of countries! In fact, always check the list to whichever country you're going if you are not familiar. Some places are super strict and will not only confiscate but also fine you if you have it with you (fruits/veggies into Australia, just to name one example).
Nothing wrong with bringing Advil (Ibuprofen) to Thailand. I do it all the time and I've read the rules and it says it's OK. Strangely they don't seem to sell Advil in Thailand. Although you can often buy antibiotics and even Xanax over the counter there.
I am considering utilizing my TEFL certification for teaching in Thailand and other countries as well with 1 year commitments. I’m from the USA and take prescription medication that I am told I won’t be able to get in other the countries of my interest . My doctor here will write the prescription for a year and my current pharmacy will fill the prescriptions for a year . One is a benzodiazepines for chronic anxiety called Ativan and the other is a compound hormone therapy to treat severe symptoms of menopause . Would I be allowed to bring a year supply for these medications? And what would the process be to bring these to Thailand? Thank you so much for such valuable information 🙏
Another advice: It's not like never bring these, but no need to fill up your luggauge if it is not necessary. Basically you can buy everything in the 7-eleven stores, or another shop like Mother Marche, BigC, 24 Super Cheap or Tesco Lotus. Such as beauty products(sunlotions, facecream, deodorants, etc), or medicine, toothbrush, toohpaste or anything you need.And in every area(even in the deep countryside) you find many within 10 minutes walk.And it is so cheap and everything is good quality.But it is the same with clothes, shoes,slippers. These are not sold in the 7-eleven though, but you can get them any other shops for peanuts.The whole country is so cheap. So when you go home you will have a lot of good new things.
Bringing medications to Thailand is absolutely fine, mate. Just ensure you have a certificate or prescription from your doctor that matches the amount you're carrying. For context, I need to travel with strong narcotic medications that would otherwise have serious consequences if I didn’t take them. I’ve brought these with me on every trip, and honestly, customs officials never even ask to see the certificate. That said, having it is crucial, as it’s all they’d require if they did check. To be frank, you're making a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to traveling with medications. If you’re bringing over-the-counter meds or vitamins, no one will bat an eye. For prescription medications, including stronger ones, as long as you have the proper documentation and only carry what you reasonably need for your trip, there’s no issue. Of course, it should go without saying that bringing more than the prescribed or necessary amount-especially for strong medications-could raise eyebrows, as it’s unnecessary and goes against the purpose of the certificate. But as long as you're sensible and stick to the rules, it’s a non-issue.
@@LiveLoveThailand i am visiting Thailand on Friday. Can you tell me if there are amex accepted atm machines in the suvarnabhumi airport? Like citi bank?
This is common in many countries, not just Thailand. Any traveler going to a new country should check what is allowed to bring with. There is no problem with camera. Do not bring illegal drugs.
I saw them retained at the airport if the total value is over the maximum allowed (please get the updated total value information) - retained means that you can take them when you fly back out of Thailand So bring the invoices with you to prove the value - and be prepared to pay the import taxes if you insist and declare that the products will remain in Thailand.
I brought 4 packs of benson cigarettes and a lots of medication 💊 including sleeping pills and antibiotics without any prescription . Did face not a single issue or questioning
No more than 200 Cigarettes, Electronic Cigarettes and Hookah; Alcoholic Drinks no more than 1liters., Medications only as prescribed, Ovide fresh food or pack well in small quantities, Drones and filming gears (check the rules). Illegal items (guns, explosive items, drugs, weed, live animals)
@@m.r.9336I don't know why did you ask that specific question but fruits are available in Australia, yet they will put a fine on you if carry any with you.. so yeah. It's legalized but you cant bring any with you, and can't take any with you out either. Careful.
@@m.r.9336 Yes, just like in The Netherlands, certain U.S. states and any other country in the world that has legalised weed… DRUG TRAFFICKING IS ILLEGAL… Are you broken or just stoned all the time???
Actually the cashiers at duty free would need to key in the details of your passport, so you cannot buy more then allowed even if you go to another duty free shop (there are many duty free shops in the airport).....so be careful if they allow you to exceed......!!!
Serious question, i am a swordsman traveling there to join the sea games and am concerned about my "sports equipment" ( 52 inch sword ) any suggestions?
Thanks for your information. Just a question, so where can I find a place in Phuket, if i need hookah? Is there any chance? Because I've been always carrying my hookah in my journey
havnt had any problems bringing them with me even walked past a police checkpoint toking on my vape down walking street pattaya they didn't even blink at it
I plan on retiring to Thailand in 3 years. I kept my house when I moved to the states 15 years ago. I have personal, used construction tools that easily fit in checked baggage and lithium batteries for power tools that I bring over when I come once a year. It is my understanding that as long as the value isn’t more than 20,000 baht, I don’t have to declare them. Is that correct?
The advice was about quantity - if you have a visa for 10 days and take a maximum of 2 per day = 20. If a small box has 50 you are ok - if you take 2 boxes with 10 you are OK, if you bring 10 boxes of 100 they will suspect that you sell them. You will stay at the airport for at least 2 hours to explain the quantity plus other ... fines, confiscate ...

2. Flying (not checked at the airport) (I have a pilot license with me for small drones under 250 g)
I register in any country where I fly and receive a number I put on the drone.
Check the allowed flight areas on the drone supplier site and on the local site (in Greece, you also have allowed flight hours for some areas)
We just went there last month and the BTS voiceover/announcer is still on my mind. Hahahaha
Hi I would like to ask if canned goods are permitted? We will be in PH before flying to Thailand and thought of buying some of my favorite canned goods in the PH there before going back to Switzerland. And also how about Paracetamol for kids?
Yes no problem
Thank you @@LiveLoveThailand
The first thing you shouldn't take with you to Thailand is your girlfriend, that would be like going to the beach and taking your own sand with you
Your girlfriend will be confiscated at the airport
the best comment in the entire video. super! if you look for an excuse to leave her behind, the dentist is cheap: filling = $30, a crown = $300 (and the girls are even cheaper)
Thank you I'll be there in 7 days❤
Welcome to Thailand
Do the table for sneezing in Thailand
Hey thanks for making this video! I'm planning on taking a long trip to Thailand starting in September. Question for ya: are there any risks of bringing electronic music equipment?
no you can
Can you take a long a power bank for phone charging with you to Thailand??
Depending on how many amp
Power banks are an issue when boarding to take off, not when landing and exiting the airport. It is a new rule in almost any airport because pilots are instructed not to let passengers board airplanes with big batteries. Airport security will check the size and call the airplane pilot, but you will not get approval as pilots do not care about your problems. They want 100% security and all batteries out of their planes.
I had 4 huge batteries (2 for laptops (bigger than 32k ) and 2 for phones around 30k). They were retained in the airport in Bucharest, and I got them back in one month when I returned (but the laws are very new, and the batteries may be destroyed as the detention period is not specified)
So I transport large batteries by truck and/or buy large batteries at the destination and keep them in friends' houses or rented boxes (where you should check about similar rules)
These super large batteries are perfect for laptops, cameras, and phones (even if shops have recently started adding power outlets similar to Starbucks)
The reason for this is numerous smoke and fire incidents in planes because a lot of people have no-name batteries with them - or even brand-name phones and tablets caught fire inside planes.
So keep only 20k batteries for planes and check the size allowed, as this may dynamically decrease in time.
That is valid to a lot of countries! In fact, always check the list to whichever country you're going if you are not familiar. Some places are super strict and will not only confiscate but also fine you if you have it with you (fruits/veggies into Australia, just to name one example).
Nothing wrong with bringing Advil (Ibuprofen) to Thailand. I do it all the time and I've read the rules and it says it's OK. Strangely they don't seem to sell Advil in Thailand. Although you can often buy antibiotics and even Xanax over the counter there.
They sell generic ibuprofen here not with the name Advil though
Strangely that you think that other country have to sell same brand as your country, there are many brands of ibuprofen in Thailand.
I am considering utilizing my TEFL certification for teaching in Thailand and other countries as well with 1 year commitments.
I’m from the USA and take prescription medication that I am told I won’t be able to get in other the countries of my interest .
My doctor here will write the prescription for a year and my current pharmacy will fill the prescriptions for a year .
One is a benzodiazepines for chronic anxiety called Ativan and the other is a compound hormone therapy to treat severe symptoms of menopause .
Would I be allowed to bring a year supply for these medications?
And what would the process be to bring these to Thailand? Thank you so much for such valuable information 🙏
Another advice: It's not like never bring these, but no need to fill up your luggauge if it is not necessary. Basically you can buy everything in the 7-eleven stores, or another shop like Mother Marche, BigC, 24 Super Cheap or Tesco Lotus. Such as beauty products(sunlotions, facecream, deodorants, etc), or medicine, toothbrush, toohpaste or anything you need.And in every area(even in the deep countryside) you find many within 10 minutes walk.And it is so cheap and everything is good quality.But it is the same with clothes, shoes,slippers. These are not sold in the 7-eleven though, but you can get them any other shops for peanuts.The whole country is so cheap. So when you go home you will have a lot of good new things.
Bringing medications to Thailand is absolutely fine, mate. Just ensure you have a certificate or prescription from your doctor that matches the amount you're carrying. For context, I need to travel with strong narcotic medications that would otherwise have serious consequences if I didn’t take them. I’ve brought these with me on every trip, and honestly, customs officials never even ask to see the certificate. That said, having it is crucial, as it’s all they’d require if they did check.
To be frank, you're making a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to traveling with medications. If you’re bringing over-the-counter meds or vitamins, no one will bat an eye. For prescription medications, including stronger ones, as long as you have the proper documentation and only carry what you reasonably need for your trip, there’s no issue.
Of course, it should go without saying that bringing more than the prescribed or necessary amount-especially for strong medications-could raise eyebrows, as it’s unnecessary and goes against the purpose of the certificate. But as long as you're sensible and stick to the rules, it’s a non-issue.
My make up kit was confiscared and i was stopped at the immigration as I was looking different without the make up😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Oh no! Why did they take your makeup? 😮
I brought some pain killers as I had operation there, they let me have them about 2 packs were fine because pain killers are very expensive there.
Tx for sharing

Hi, am I able to bring Excedrin for headaches??? that's the only over the counter meds I take for headache since I hate tylenol.
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
@@LiveLoveThailand i am visiting Thailand on Friday. Can you tell me if there are amex accepted atm machines in the suvarnabhumi airport? Like citi bank?
This is common in many countries, not just Thailand. Any traveler going to a new country should check what is allowed to bring with. There is no problem with camera. Do not bring illegal drugs.
This is very valuable info. I do have one question, what about CBD oil?
Cbd?
@@LiveLoveThailandweed oil
No you can’t bring it
Good info
Putting the items in description would have been a good idea
then nobody would watch the video 😂😂 🤦♂️
No it wouldn’t have. Then people don’t watch the video and he doesn’t get paid for his hard work and can’t make a living. Grow up.
Are we allow to bring 2-3 phone for gifts for family member in thailand.?
Mmm ok
I saw them retained at the airport if the total value is over the maximum allowed (please get the updated total value information) - retained means that you can take them when you fly back out of Thailand
So bring the invoices with you to prove the value - and be prepared to pay the import taxes if you insist and declare that the products will remain in Thailand.
Where is the electric good of sony showroom please
Mini rice cooker pot available in airport from Bangladesh?
I brought 4 packs of benson cigarettes and a lots of medication 💊 including sleeping pills and antibiotics without any prescription . Did face not a single issue or questioning
Goof for you
you buy anti biotics online?
laptop, tylenol for personal use in case of fever or headache not allowed ????
No more than 200 Cigarettes, Electronic Cigarettes and Hookah; Alcoholic Drinks no more than 1liters., Medications only as prescribed, Ovide fresh food or pack well in small quantities, Drones and filming gears (check the rules). Illegal items (guns, explosive items, drugs, weed, live animals)
Paracetamol most certainly can be brought into Thailand, for the most obvious of reasons.
Even if weed is legal there?
@@m.r.9336I don't know why did you ask that specific question but fruits are available in Australia, yet they will put a fine on you if carry any with you.. so yeah. It's legalized but you cant bring any with you, and can't take any with you out either. Careful.
Filming gears???so no cameras?
@@m.r.9336
Yes, just like in The Netherlands, certain U.S. states and any other country in the world that has legalised weed…
DRUG TRAFFICKING IS ILLEGAL…
Are you broken or just stoned all the time???
Any good info about flights there arsen?
I plan on buy my plane tickets in august or Sept for my November trip.
Actually the cashiers at duty free would need to key in the details of your passport, so you cannot buy more then allowed even if you go to another duty free shop (there are many duty free shops in the airport).....so be careful if they allow you to exceed......!!!
hows the air quality right now?
sorry that’s not the topic now😎…
Unopened prescription meds? Even if you declare it and have prescriptions ?
Serious question, i am a swordsman traveling there to join the sea games and am concerned about my "sports equipment" ( 52 inch sword ) any suggestions?

Hi, when someone need liquid for Lens? Have U any info

Plain sterile Saline available at most all 7-11s (as a wound wash!) I use it frequently for my contacts. Also OptiFree and others readily available.
Thanks for your information. Just a question, so where can I find a place in Phuket, if i need hookah? Is there any chance? Because I've been always carrying my hookah in my journey
Please, What is equivalent of Imodium? In Thailand.
Carrying imodium shouldn't be a problem, I have taken it along with me when I went to Thailand....
Shouldn't you be asking your doctor instead of any random advice from strangers 😮
Good job
Can you bring vitamins like Magnesium and Zinc on the plane?
Ofcourse
What about vapes? Can you bring them or are they easy to buy?
You can buy in Thailand
havnt had any problems bringing them with me even walked past a police checkpoint toking on my vape down walking street pattaya they didn't even blink at it
I plan on retiring to Thailand in 3 years. I kept my house when I moved to the states 15 years ago. I have personal, used construction tools that easily fit in checked baggage and lithium batteries for power tools that I bring over when I come once a year. It is my understanding that as long as the value isn’t more than 20,000 baht, I don’t have to declare them. Is that correct?
I cant survive with out my ecig, i fear i will start smoking again. How will they even notice a small e cig in our luggage?
Is whey protein and multivitamin is allowed and pre workout powder or meal replacement powder?
Gyms & pharmacy sells them !. Whey is BS !.
So no Tylenol Excedrin or Advil? I have to buy it here?
You can bring with you but why to if you can buy from a seven eleven here
The advice was about quantity - if you have a visa for 10 days and take a maximum of 2 per day = 20. If a small box has 50 you are ok - if you take 2 boxes with 10 you are OK, if you bring 10 boxes of 100 they will suspect that you sell them. You will stay at the airport for at least 2 hours to explain the quantity plus other ... fines, confiscate ...
can you take in the travel bag on board the Ventolin inhaler for Asthma
I'd say probably yes, but take the prescription printout with you.
thanks for good info
