[Sgnick]

The type that many car convoys use, motorola type.

 

Thinking of bring overseas to Thailand as going in big group so can use for comms easier in Thailand. But scared that in airport wil kana searched and confiscated. Will or not huh?

[Jamstart]

Why will it be confiscated? Dont see a problem there.

[Boyboy]

take out batteries. then it cannot accidentally switch on.

[Sgnick]

Thanks, that's a good advise.

 

I dont know if walkie talkies are considered banned objects and secrurity threat. But then it will be in checkin lugguage and not hand carry lugguage.

 

Ok, on the other hand, what if it is in hand carry lugguage? Is it allowed?

We had a set confiscated at Bangkok airport last year. It was packed inside a colleagues luggage and was seen during random scan.

Thanks

[Sgnick]

Opps, thanks. That's what I needed to know. Then i best don't bring.

[Santav]

yes can put in check-in baggage (but not hand carry) and remember to remove the batteries....

[Hiphiphoray]

Better dont bring. The customs have every right to conficate it with safety concerns.

To bring in there's always a risk of being confiscated. Walkie Talkie bought in Singapore are restricted for use only in Singapore without license. Likewise, walkie talkie bought from overseas are not to be use in Singapore. This is by right.. There's still many in Singapore are by left and use export set from USA with longer range.

For Singapore law, look here : http://www.ida.gov.sg/Policies%20and%20Reg...0418214814.aspx

 

For Thailand, better check with their relevant authority. They have every right to confiscate.

but dont buy in thailand, bring back to sg.

[Ironstarz]

I think it will be confiscate not for safety reason, more for security reason...
