Thailand tightens checked-baggage screening rules from Oct 16
From 16 October 2026, airlines at Thai airports may open and inspect checked baggage without the owner present if suspicious items are flagged, with video-recorded inspections and passenger notification afterward. CAAT urges travellers to use TSA-compatible locks, avoid valuables in checked bags, and verify airline/transit rules. Current procedures remain until the changes take effect.
