Dutch family are soon to visit and are coming through Thailand for a few days. They want to bring us some smoked sausages and are curious about whether they'll lose it at Thai customs. Any experience/advice with this, please?
Edit: yes, I see now I confused my singular and plural but it's okay, I are a teacher.

Ta muchly, I thought that to be the case. The sausages is ( ) shrink-wrapped so shouldn't be a problem. They're not bringing luggage though, only backpacks - same?

Good thing your family aren't going to New Zealand.

Ah, so that's why they're called bangers!
If a group of ISIS got in, would they be gang-bangers?

What's the wors that could happen?
Not much - 5 or 6 hours 'detained', interrogated and a 30.000 baht fine (no receipt). If you don't have the 30,000... off to the 'klink' until you do (and raise it quickly because it goes up every day you don't pay).
