    yes,but i would think you are probably stopping to change planes in dubia/qatar/doha.if yes then buy cigs there,only £6.00.but beware if carrying more than 200 and stopped by customs arriving in bangkok you will be fined £50.00 for every 200 over the limit and this process will probably mean a trip to local police station in bangkok and 2-3 hours of your time.has been a purge since the opening of the new airport.but to be honest hardly ever seen anyone stopped in 14 visits.
