In the day, you could bring cameras and whiskey into India to sell for a profit.
Nowadays, is there anything that OB brings to Thailand/ Asia in general that makes them a profit?

Mainly China. Some other Asian countries have cows
Holy Cows. Can't eat em.
@Yummy: Wait, wut?
That's… that's not what is in baby formula.
From the look of those Chinese import-export stores: sheep skins, ugg boots, lanolin, baby formula, and weird kangaroo tablets.
why don't you get a job
Diving equipment.
Do u mean that if u dive, they charge heaps for hiring equipment so bring ur own? Or bring in regulators that u sell to the dive operators?
Diving boards. Preferably 10 metre platforms.
You need to research and understand your market first. Any brilliant ideas, others would be doing it themselves rather than giving you a freebie.
I’m not thinking of making a business out of it, things like Vegimite jars or Bundaberg rum …. they would be to sell to travellers..
May years ago I brought whiskey into India…. made me $15 richer but was a bit of fun.Used ladies underwear for Japan. Worth more if accompanied with a photo
Getting your arse waxed before wearing them for the photos will probably help you sell them too

Western toilets
Toilet paper based on last time i was i Thailand

South American Head phones
I understood that reference!
Back in the late 70's it was profitable to bring in a bottle or two of Jonny Walker into India and sell it for double what you paid for it.
I went to a carpet shop in Delhi to sell it and there were a few young american christians in the shop that were staying at the same cheap flop-house I was at. I produced the whiskey and there were gasps of horror from the christians - evil westerner trying to corrupt poor Indians!
Sold the whiskey and no doubt it eventually ending up being onsold to rich Indians.
Guess I won't be going to heaven….That’s spot on. Could even sell a like new empty bottle so that at the start of the night they use the real stuff but then as night goes on swap for Indian whiskey.
Deed to any Australian agriculture property.
Beef, very expansive. Milk powder, not for the same reasons as china ..
most luxary goods is very expansive, old video games ….
Wine , you can only take two 1lt bottles to thailand.
How would u sell the wine…. swap for a meal at fancy restaurant?
I could sell it to a local or expat. The tax on a bottle is crazy.
Well as an update, I was actually asking for my kid that was travelling there. And the results are in….
- Toilet paper
- Sunscreen
Don’t know if u could sell any of those, but u will pay tourist wants tax for that stuff.
Sunscreen definitely.
toilet paper is not very expansive.
Fish oil.
