I was looking at Zuji to book a flight home and found this information. I was mainly looking for airport tax info but noticed the Pitt and Staffy reference.

Just met with a friend who flew into Bangkok from Shainghai last week. He said that he was approached by a policeman immediately after coming out of customs. The office searched his bags, saying that he was looking for cigarettes. Another fellow who was at the dinner said that he had been hearing a lot of stories like this recently, and then he repeated a few. It seems that those being caught smuggling cigarettes into the kingdom are being greatly inconvenienced and heavily fined.

Perhaps they deserve it for breaking the law. Better to be warned and wary than sorry.

I hereby involk the "Ray23" clause that excuses all typos and spelling errors provided there is any redeeming value in the post. I do not aspire to Ray's level of contribution, but plea for fairness in judgement.
