NewlyMintedThai Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 What’s the deal with those little smugglers’ shops in Hat Yai selling booze and ciggies? They have cartons of Marlboros for 260 baht...are they real or fake? Where do they come from?

Might be the same "suppliers" as the folks at the Friendship Bridge duty free/vendor mall in Laos/Vientiane. Careful, I tried them twice (separate border crossings), something definitely different. Coughed and hacked nonstop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airalee Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 When I crossed over the border into Tachileik about 5 years ago I saw cartons (10 packs) of “Marlboros” for sale for ฿80. Can’t even imagine what goes in to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
