TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about customs regulations when returning to Thailand from Laos with a significant amount of coffee beans, specifically whether there is a need to declare them and if there are limits on the quantity. Community comments suggest that there may be a tariff applicable and that the amount considered 'too much' can vary.
