duty free at bangkok airport

[jack07]

We will be joining the diamond princess in Bangkok,flying from Heathrow via Dubai. Will we be able to buy spirits on arrival in bangkok or should we get them at heathrow or even Dubai? We fly on the 10th march.

 

 

Thanks, Jack.

I have arrived at the new airport for Bangkok a number of times and I do not recall any arrival duty free. I could be wrong but play safe and pick up duty free before Bangkok.

We are going to be on the same cruise and you can purchase duty free in transit.

thank you both, I think we will get ours in Dubai.

Don't know if this is right but I read somewhere this week that Princess will only allow wines and champagne on the ship. If you take spirits on they will keep them until the end of the cruise and then give them to you.

I read this recently and thought you might be interested - we will be going to Bangkok too and will steer clear of the Duty Free just to be safe.
