I have offered to bring some hard-to-find liquor with me, for someone who owns/runs a bar. I got the list, which is a few good gems, but was wondering how much I can bring with me tax free, and what the standard import tax on anything in excess of that, is.
No, I don't plan on bringing in a container - these are more quantities in keeping with personal usage, i.e. 4 types of liquor. The questions is really just if I can bring one of each, 2 of each, large bottles, etc...

The limit is one bottle, about the [metric] size of a fifth, which may be imported without duty. But just stuff the lot in your suitcases, tick "Nothing to declare" on your customs form, and trot through the green line at customs.
The general rule is that random customs inspections just don't happen to respectable looking white guys. If you get popped [less than 1:10,000 chance] plead ignorance and pay the duty.

Thanks!
That's exactly what I was looking for. Do you think the 'clanging' sounds from my second suitcase will be noticeable?

I could have brought a giraffe thru customs. I've never been stopped once. Then again I'm a respectable looking white whore monger.

Small point Lads, there are no Customs Forms required anymore. I couldn't find any and the chap at the exit said, "One does not require them any longer, Sir", or words to that effect!

They don't pass 'em out on the plane? Wow. Just, wow.
That pathetic form was like an institution.
hzink, just wrap 'em up in spare clothes and go for it. If they ask, say it's sex-toys and viagra and slip the lad a purple.

As it 'appens the flight I was on (Qatar Airways) didn't have the immigration forms either! I had to ask one of the local fellas (pre-immigration) for one and he had only one left, whatsamatterwith'em?
I'm not sure what Thai customs chaps are s'posed to be lookin' for anyway. How many folk would be bringing porn, drugs, gems or guns into LOS?

Brocher is right, the customs forms are no longer used. Only the white immigration forms.
I have never been stopped coming into BKK airport (usually Terminal 2), and I have never even seen anyone else stopped.

I was stopped once, some years back. It cost me $100 (partly because that's what I had handy). I had about 12 bottles, probably worth $500 so the tip was less expensive than duty would have been... keep in mind though that Customs can simply confiscate your booze because bringing in more than 1 bottle requires an import permit (not available to individuals). The guy was nice about it... rummaged around, felt the bottles.. but didn't insist on pulling them all out or making a fuss.
The current system is random luggage screening with an Xray machine. I see the thing in use almost every time I walk through passenger customs, but have never had the bad luck to get selected.
