- Express, 2 kg × ₹950≈ ₹1,900
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹475
- + GST 18%≈ ₹430
- Approx total, express≈ ₹3,150
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so it doesn’t.
KYC of the sender
One photo ID for the person whose name is on the AWB — Aadhaar, passport or driving licence. We photograph it at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice
For commercial goods, a printed invoice listing items, quantity and value. For gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated. Recipient’s Thai ID or passport number on the AWB helps clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
Sealed strips, doctor’s prescription with registration number, recipient name matching a Thai pharmacy record where possible. No injectables, no controlled substances. Thai FDA flags unfamiliar pill formats.
What Thailand doesn’t let in.
Thai Customs is efficient but the country has firm rules — particularly around drugs (death penalty for trafficking), e-cigarettes (illegal in Thailand outright), and any material critical of the Thai monarchy. These are real Thai laws, not our caution.
Don’t even try
- Drugs of any kind — Thailand carries death penalty for trafficking and severe sentences for possession. Don’t test it with anything resembling narcotics.
- E-cigarettes and vapes — illegal in Thailand. Possession is criminal; couriers are seized and the consignee can be fined.
- Anti-monarchy material — Thailand’s lèse-majesté law is severe. Books, leaflets or any printed material critical of the Thai royal family — even foreign-published — will be seized and may invite further consequences for the consignee.
- Pornography, obscene material — banned outright.
- Counterfeit goods — fake-branded clothing, watches, bags.
- Aerosols and lithium batteries above 100 Wh — universal courier rule, restricted on air leg.
- Alcohol — courier-restricted; do not ship.
Allowed with care
- Textiles, sarees, block-print fabric — declare item, quantity and a fair value. Pahurat fabric-buyer lane is routine.
- Books and printed material — non-monarchy-critical; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry vegetarian sweets — factory-sealed, declare on invoice. Loose mithai is risky.
- Tablets with prescription — sealed strip, doctor’s prescription, recipient matched to a Thai pharmacy or doctor where possible.
- Non-precious jewellery, small electronics — declare make, value.
- Papier-mâché and Buddhist-iconography-respectful Indian decorative items — fine inbound; declare clearly.
Family parcels, Pahurat fabric, festival outfits.
Gifts to Indian-Thai families
Bangkok has a sizeable Sikh and Punjabi diaspora around Pahurat and Phra Khanong, and Marwari/Sindhi business families around Charoenkrung. Festival parcels — Diwali, Lohri, Karwa Chauth — are routine on this lane.
Pahurat B2B fabric & handicraft
Pahurat is Bangkok’s ‘Little India’ wholesale fabric market. Marwari merchants there source block-print cotton, sarees and dupattas from Rajasthan regularly. Commercial invoice, KYC, and a clean item list keep these moving.
Wedding & festival outfits
Thai-Punjabi and Thai-Sindhi weddings happen often in Bangkok. Sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, dupattas — sent ahead of dates, express, with fair values declared.
Diwali parcels (non-food + sealed sweets)
Diyas, decorations, pooja items, and factory-sealed dry sweets. Send 2–3 weeks ahead. Skip agarbatti if you’re unsure.
Returning-traveller baggage
Thai tourists who shopped too much in Udaipur — picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly home. We handle the invoice and KYC paperwork.
Student care kits
Small Indian-student community at Mahidol, Chulalongkorn and Thammasat. Books, sealed snacks, festival clothing — declared honestly on invoice.
Buddhist-pilgrimage parcels
Thai Buddhists visiting Bodh Gaya or Sarnath occasionally route shipments via Marwari families in Udaipur. Religious-respectful items are fine inbound.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC International, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Asked most often.
Why is anti-monarchy material flagged so seriously?
Thailand’s lèse-majesté law (Section 112) makes any material insulting or critical of the Thai monarchy a serious criminal offence. This applies even to foreign-published books and academic texts. Customs screens for it, and the consignee — not the sender — bears the consequence in Thailand. We won’t ship anything that obviously falls in that category, and we’ll flag borderline cases at pickup. It’s not us being cautious; it’s a Thai law that’s actively enforced.
I send fabric to a Pahurat wholesale buyer every month — what’s the routine?
Standard lane. We need a printed commercial invoice (item, HSN, quantity, unit value), the buyer’s Pahurat shop name and Thai phone number, and your KYC. The first shipment we’ll walk you through — after that, the same paperwork repeats. Express runs 5–7 days into Bangkok; clearance is usually 24–48 hours when documents are clean. If your buyer has a Thai company TIN, including it on the invoice speeds clearance further.
How fast does express actually land in Bangkok?
5–7 working days door-to-door is what we quote, and it holds when the air leg connects on schedule (Mumbai-BKK is direct daily) and customs paperwork is clean. Add 1–2 days if delivery is to Phuket, Chiang Mai or an island. Add a day or two during Songkran (April) and Chinese New Year when Thai gateways slow down. Economy at 7–12 days saves about a third on rate but adds the wait.
