I flew back into BKK last week with 6 bottles in my checked luggage. They were inside one of the cardboard wine cases you get in supermarkets with some kitchen roll wrapped around them to wedge them into place. By the time I got home (about 1.5hrs after touchdown), they were still cool to touch (compared to the 30deg c ambient temperature) but not cold. I've no idea how they are because I've not opened them yet but it felt like the hold temperature kept them OK.

I have seen the stories about customs being stricter on duty free limits but in my experience (about 10 flights into new BKK), they don't seem to be any stricter than previously. Of course, I'm never over the duty free limit...

If you want to do any test runs into BKK with fine wine, I'll be your friend to receive them
