I have actually 3 things that I intend to leave in Thailand. One worth $250, one $50 and one $30. So roughly 11k BHT. I don't want to declare it as I don't want to waste time at customs.
I will report if I had any hustle.
Right now waiting in the UA lounge waiting for my flight to BKK.
I guess that I will clear immigration at BKK but customs at HKT.

Personally I wouldn't bother declaring these items by using the red channel. You are below the limit, and it will just cause confusion.

Yes, if you are flying through BKK, and can use the mid-field connection, then you would clear Customs in HKT.

you must declare if you are over this limit... it doesn't matter if you intend to take them out again or not. 6 bottles means you need to declare them all. you may be asked to pay duty in the excess.

Depends on what the 3 "things" are. 99% of the time you won't have a problem because the value is too low. If you share what the 3 "things" are you'll get a more accurate response.
