I am coming through Suvarnabhumi airport in about a week. I have a work visa and I will have ~5 checked bags with me. Should I anticipate problems when I try to clear customs? If so, what should I anticipate?

Has anyone printed their DTV in a reduced size, lamintated it AND been back through customs for a re-entry (with no problems)?

If so, what size did you have it reduced to?

Looking to see the smallest size i can get away with, hoping for A6!

Question? If I book a flight from Saigon to Krabi with Thai Airways and it says that my bags are transferred at the stopover in Bangkok do I go through customs in Bangkok or Krabi? If I go through customs in Bangkok do I not need all my bags with me? FYI I’m Canadian so I get 30 entry without a visa.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

If you buy laptop from US online that ships to Thailand using FedEx, do you have to pay import duty?

It says no import duty on laptops but i want to hear about other people's experiences.
