Oh wise tribe... My family is spending a week in Thailand end of March. We're coming from Singapore. Do you know if I can bring in some unopened UHT milk and home baked breakfast biscuits? My toddler is very challenging to feed and these are the only things he'll eat for breakfast; without these he gets terribly sore tummy aches. As a New Zealander, I'd never dream of packing any food whatsoever, but thought I'd ask in case it's ok? Would make things so much easier!

TLDR : Answer Summary

Travelers can generally bring unopened UHT milk and home baked biscuits into Thailand without encountering issues, as long as they are in reasonable amounts and packed in hold luggage. Thai customs appear to focus more on strict regulations for fruits, vegetables, and meats rather than snacks and packaged foods. UHT milk is widely available in Thailand, making it an easy alternative if necessary.

Do Thai Customs officials drink milk or eat biscuits? No. So they couldn't care less!

Fruits , Veggies , Meat and Fish products are strictly governed & restricted, but dry biscuits and small amount of pasteurized Milk is fine. Good to note, there is plenty UHT milk here in Thailand, so the little won't miss out on any of that. Have a good trip and safe travels

Have never had my bags checked, flown in plenty of times bringing snacks from Oz for my toddlers. They are not interested in food being bought in!

I dont know how many times I have flown into Thailand. 20 or 30 times maybe. Never once have they inquired or searched my bags. I am sure you will be fine.

Pack it in you hold luggage and hope for the best. Personally I wouldnt declare it, it could well be junked if you do.

Yes you can bring food. Alcohol and Tabaco have strict limits, customs won't weigh you milk.
