Hi recent travellers. 

Do they still have a duty free after passport control in baggage reclaim. Suvarnabhumi arrivals. 

Thanks

Answer summary

At Suvarnabhumi Airport, there are indeed duty-free shops located after passport control in the baggage claim area, although they are smaller than those found before immigration. These shops primarily sell alcohol, beauty products, and cigarettes. There are also retail options on either side of the immigration entrance.

There are half a dozen duty free shops in the baggage claim area, though they're smaller than the ones before immigration, and MUCH smaller than the ones in the departure area - they basically just sell alcohol and some beauty products.

There is a King power shop around carousel 13. Not sure if the prices are duty free. If not there are shops either side of the immigration entrance, alcohol/cigarettes and perfume.

Duty free is before passport control. You can't duty free once you've already entered the country. The only thing after passport control is baggage claim and customs.

Wrong. There is a duty free shop in the middle of the baggage carousels. Used it many a time when I was too drunk to remember to grab some bottle in Dubai.
