A brief question for content creators / media editors on DTV who bring their own video equipment for workation (by plane): did you go through the red lane and declare everything, or did you take the regular „nothing to declare” route like every other tourist does?
I know the theory, I’ve read Thai customs and agent’s websites. I know technically one should declare anything worth more than THB 20k, but in practice you don’t see every single foreigner declaring their freaking iPhones…
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether content creators and media editors should declare their video equipment when entering Thailand, particularly when traveling by plane. Participants share varying experiences, suggesting that while it's technically required to declare items worth more than THB 20k, in practice, many travelers do not declare common items like iPhones and personal gear. Some advise using the red lane to declare items if uncertain, while others note that packing style impacts customs checks, with larger equipment possibly drawing more attention.
