My God, Thailand is as bad as Indonesia. I never thought I would see the day, but recently with all the reports regarding the Australian bar in Phuket, the treatment of foreign residents married to Thais et all, I believe you have to currently think twice about going to Thailand, and if you do, stay away from their duty free shops (all "King Duty Free" owned by the same guy and very overrated / overpriced) - best transit through Singapore which has excellent duty free if you are able.
