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 centers around whether content creators bringing their own video equipment into Thailand should declare these items at customs or opt for the 'nothing to declare' lane. While technically one should declare items worth more than THB 20,000, experiences shared by commenters suggest that many foreign travelers do not declare their personal belongings, including electronics. Opinions vary, with some suggesting to use the red lane for declaration if needed, while others report not being stopped or checked during numerous trips. Packing method appears to influence the likelihood of being questioned at customs, with large, conspicuous cases drawing more attention.
