What is the restrictions on taking ciggerttes and alcohol overseas?

I'm flying with thai airways in June 2008 going to bangkok 2nights then Phuket 8 nights, want to buy duty free alcohol and cigerttes from sydney airport to take with me was only planning on taking carry on luggage is this possible? If not what about check-in luggage? There is 5 of us going 2 adults and 3 children ages 17 and 16 can they carry any of those in their luggage? And the same with arrivals? Please help :-)

The rule of thumb is passengers are allowed to bring in 200 sticks of cigs and 1 litre alcohol per person, which is deemed reasonable for personal consumption. Leave them in the duty-- free plastic bags and hand carry is the easiest way. Internal/domestic flights dont restrict and when you head out to Phuket just take them in your luggage. When you finally depart for home you have to abide by the arrival country's custom laws so check out Aus allowance beforehand. Happy holidays.

Go ahead bring all you want. Customs are not strict in Bangkok. Plus, they also have duty free there so you got no problem. You will only encounter problem if you go to Singapore. They have strict rules against tobacco there.

What is the best time of year to travel to Thailand and Cambodia?

We are planning a 10 day vacation to Thailand/Cambodia. Our two options are July - Aug period or the December timeframe. The primary focus of the trip will be to do fieldwork on temples and architecture, but we would also like to do some vacationing in Phuket in the process. Any advice on travelling to Thailand and Cambodia would be appreciated.

I have to disagree with the other answers. I go to Thailand 2 -3 times a year and if you are interested in temples and architecture and not battle growds of tourists - go in the summer. Just deal with the heat (you get used to it) and enjoy having the most wonderful temples almost to yourself! I was in Siem Reap last year in July and frequently was the only person visiting some of the Anghor sites - it was magical and otherworldly. And vacationing in the islands is cheaper and not as crowded - high season is just not fun if you want to really have some time in the field. Enjoy your trip - it is a lovely region.

i agree, i was in thailand in november during their "cool" season, it was still about 90 degrees but it did not rain once and perfect weather for the beach!

November to February is the best time to visit the Thailand. The weather is typically mild and pleasant then. It's usually hot from March to May, and then rainy from June through October.
