Taking religious items out of Thailand
Personal religious items may be exported from Thailand freely at personal-use quantities.
Details
Personal-use personal religious items may be taken out of Thailand without export formalities. Personal devotional items (prayer beads, icons, amulets, garments) are freely exportable. Antique religious artefacts fall under cultural-property export rules instead — icons and manuscripts over age thresholds may need export permits. Destination-side, a few jurisdictions restrict the import of religious materials in bulk quantities.
