UPS has notified me i need to show at 120 Years Building and register as an import agent or get an import license just to get a 2 Ib package of 40 personal single use eye drops, 2 boxes of just for men, and 2 UV BLOCKER sets of armsleeves my nephew sent me from my apartment in LA. Please, somebody who’s been though this, send the quickest most stress free method of navigating this. BESIDES Thai Customs, UPS is also trying to get paid extra in this process. I had no idea having a small box of personal provisions was gonna come to this. And if i choose to just not bother with this and walk away from less than $70 us worth of stuff, UPS’ charge is nearly $300 to “destroy” the package. You talk about a Catch-22!!! What does an Import License even cost, never mind there’s MORE steps to follow just to get this small quantity of my own personal hygiene products in hand.

Hello Everyone.

I am from Bangladesh. I will be traveling solo to Thailand on a very budget trip in mid September . I will land at the Don Mueang Airport.

I have booked flights through AirAsia. I haven't bought the checked in luggage to save money as I won't be carrying or shopping much. So I am only allowed to carry a 7 kg carry on luggage (Backpack in my case). In my estimation, this 7 kg should be enough for me as I won't be shopping much other than a few chocolates. My shopping shouldn't weigh more than 1kg worth of items.

My carry on backpack is just slightly bigger than a regular laptop backpack. So no more than 30L to 35L size.

## NOW MY QUESTIONS ARE:

* Can anyone tell how much does AirAsia charge for each extra kg if my carry on backpack exceeds 7kg? (*As I won't be having any checked in luggage, will they allow me to carry the extra weight If I pay extra charges? Or should I have throw the extra weight away?)*

* I will also carry a waist bag as a personal item. It's small but spacious enough to carry a powerbank , charger, wallet, passport and a small water bottle. **Will they weigh the waist bag too?

*I have attached a sample image of the backpack and waist bag for reference*

Thanks in advance
