Competitors with firearms and/or ammunition in their checked baggage, who are merely transiting at Bangkok airport (e.g. changing planes or airlines), are not required to apply for a permit, or complete any forms, or take any other action, because the transfer will be done automatically by ground handling staff.

If the competitor is terminating his flight in Bangkok and wants to exit the airport, he must retrieve his baggage from the baggage claim area, then deposit the firearms and ammunition with the Thai Customs office situated in the arrivals hall before the usual Green and Red channels.

If the competitor wants to actually attend a shooting match in Thailand, and therefore take his firearms and ammunition with him, prior arrangements must be made with the Thai Practical Shooting Association, who can be contacted by email.
