Can I bring cheddar cheese into Thailand for personal consumption?

We brought last year 9 kg cheese for our 3 month stay in the check in luggage without any problem.

I've bought back 4kg of Cheese & 10 packs of Cheese slices about 5 times. Never been stopped.

Could be a gouda idea...

Very ok to bring to Thailand

I brought 5 kg of cheese for our friends.. Frozen first in a cooler bag..

I always take cheese and Nutella. Nothing beats cathedral city

You can get it there

I do

Yes I used to all the time years ago but now can get it at a great price check

expat store what they don't have isn't worth having

I wish I had brought some good cheese with me. They are expensive here, even the basic kinds. You should be ok, the worst they can do is take it from you. Though no one checked our bags or asked if we had anything to declare when we came in.

You can, but beware that you can get in trouble if it's 'Nacho' cheese! 😅

This is the funniest thing I've heard! Why cheese?

sure but why? its cheap at Makro.

We bring it in a cool box every year. Last year they asked what was in the box. I said cheese for my Thai friends, they love it.

Customs officer put his thumb up and said 'you good friend'.... As someone already pointed out they don't like live plants so you need a phytosanitary certificate from defra and also plant passports for all of them. However, yet again,you are allowed 4 without the certificates. I took roses in for my mates and again when asked they let it through without asking for my phytos.

The cheese is poor and expensive in Thailand. Can't get anything decent. But make sure it's double sealed and beware of the wax truckles as they melt and stain your clothes. I got an electric car cool box from temu and it's fits inside your bag. Soon as I get in the taxi, it's plugged in.

Only good taste.

You can buy it here.

Why risk?

I take cans of Spam for our kid .

I always make sure I cut the cheese before going through customs

What are you in for mate? Well I tried to sneak a kilo of cheddar into the country.

Don't take Velveeta in to Singapore, it's a death sentence.

I once brought in 4 litres of wine max aload 1 litre. I fronted up to customs showed them . They sent me on my way suppose paperwork to much trouble to pay duty. Food be different i would think are you willing to take chance of customs not doing a random check.

I always bring cheese, my Thai Mrs & friends love a bit of mature Cheddar 😂 & as your probably aware it’s v expensive for mediocre comparables.

I wish I have problems like your cheddars in my life

simple answer Yes

Tell me you are American, without telling me you are American....

😉🤣

Done it many times. Only issue I ever had was x-ray at m/cr airport, they told me it looked like Semtex but never opened the bag to check it. I was astonished !!

We got cheddar here. Even have bottled water. Amazing

I'd imagine they'll be right cheesed off if they uncover your stash

Bring me some too please!

As long as "cheddar cheese" isn't code for some drug, you have no worries if it's in it's original sealed packaging 💯

No way they have a cheese smuggling squad at most major airports in South East Asia very harsh penalties.

The Thai FDA and Customs sites are a bit challenging to navigate, but generally speaking, sealed and made for retail sales packaged foods are fine to import if the total value of all goods you are bringing in to Thailand is less than 20,000 baht and not intended for resale. I literally bring a full suitcase full of food and snacks from the states every trip I make... You run in to issues with raw meat, plants, fruits, vegetables, and live animals that are not declared or without the proper import licensing and paper work... So... You know... as long as it is not homemade bathtub cheese in a baggie, you should be ok... Also, you can get cheddar here.

Yes no problem you can certainly do that, cheese is pretty expensive here.

You don't want to grate the thai customs buddy

It is not allowed, among other things, to bring milk products into Thailand. If you're lucky, customs will check and if you're unlucky, you'll go there

Would it spoil before you got the opportunity to enjoy it?

I don’t know what the repercussions are if they catch you, but the chances of getting caught are pretty low.

Chuck it in your checked luggage they won’t bother you
