Can you bring fresh fruit or produce to Thailand?

Short answer
Allowed, within limits

  • Fresh produce

    allowed, within limits

    Personal-use import allowance: fresh or processed (pickled/candied/canned) plants, vegetables, and fruit up to 5 kg; dried plants, vegetables, and fruit up to 2.5 kg. All food items combined must not exceed 10 kg/L, and none of the items may have been imported by the same traveler within the prior 3 months.

    This FDA allowance is for personal-consumption produce. Live plants, seeds/propagative material, and soil are separately regulated by the Department of Agriculture (plant quarantine) and typically require a phytosanitary certificate/import permit — doa.go.th itself blocked automated access in this research pass, so no specific quantity/permit detail for that category is published here; treat seeds, seedlings, cut flowers, and anything with soil attached as a likely-restricted case needing advance research, not covered by the produce allowance above.
