Duty Free Liquor at SIN and BKK airports

[Archphoto]

Silly question but is the restriction on purchasing duty free liquor at BKK airport and travelling to Australia still in place? Unfortunately on next trip I am returning direct from BKK

I wish the Australian government would stop assisting monopolies ripping off the travelling public.

From memory, it still is - and I agree. What difference does it make whether I purchase at BKK or SIN?? Liquor is liquor and the sooner these restrictions are lifted, the better. Wake up and smell the roses - ripping travellers off is really poor form and if they're smart (and *not* overweight), they'll buy on arrival, pack it in their luggage on departure and still come out ahead!!

I refuse to buy in SYD - the difference $$ is outrageous. Whatever happened to "free trade"?:shock:

Is the limit still 1L spirits into Thailand? Is it worth trying to bring in 2L in checked luggage? I have never ever had my luggage checked on arrival but you just never know.

I agree.

Yes, John, still the 1L limit, and I too have never been stopped, but be just my luck, that the day I bring 2L in, I will!:mrgreen:

I transitted in SIN on Boxing Day. Below are some photos of a range of liquor prices.

I only priced liquor - and subsequently bought six bottles to bring back home into Australia, past the thieves otherwise known as First Duty Free.

Wow! The price for a bottle of Red Smirnoff is less than what one would pay for 2 watered down vodka and oranges in a pub in Brisbane City.

If only I could take 3 bottles of spirits into Thailand. Sadly though the limit is only 1.
