Just a quick note on bringing wine into BKK. There have been A LOT of reports of people being arrested, having their stuff confiscated, and being generally shaken down by BKK customs from exceeding the limits on cigarettes and/or alcohol, and not declaring them. I'm pretty sure the limit on wine is 1 liter. The duty on declared wine is VERY high (100% I think).

Now, reportedly they target people with Duty Free bags, so if it is in your checked luggage, you may not get targeted. Then again you might.

Look for stories on www.thaivisa.com .

Be careful
