PCP Air gun buying in Bankok, Pataya or Phuket- HELP!

[karandheer78]

Guys...I need your help here. A batch of 6 close friends are going to Bangkok, Pataya & Phuket. I need to know:

1) Any air gun shops in these places?
2) If yes, can you'll provide the link / address / contact details?
3) Any specific rules - pertaining to PCP purchase-to be followed in these cities? If they have to be carried back..they will ONLY be 0.22 cals
4) Can all 6 carry 6 PCPs back or am i pushing my luck tooooo much?

(guys, you'll can ignore point 4..happens where there is an accute shortage of PCPs at reasonable rates...but do help me out with point nos: 1,2,3)

Cheers!

The gun shops in Bangkok are listed on the yellow pages, so I assume that even the other places will have them listed. Do not try getting six pcp's in. Your selfish act will make some babu in the government decide that the law has been abused enough and make it difficult for those who actually struggle to be in the shooting sport.
Secondly, PCP's look very close to real rifles, so the customs guy make take their time in deciding whether they should be allowed or not. So stay sane and keep it real to one air rifle, that way things stay good and you can import another one the next year.

Regards,

Dev

Hi Dev...point 4 is a jest, a sarcastic undertone for the obnoxious prices prevailing in the Indian markets for PCPs! I wud really have to be outta my mind to try & get in 6 when I have no experience of getting in even 1 till date!

Will check out the yellow pages..thanks!

I was in bangkok last october and had gone to the gun shops there. Quite a few are owned by thai sikhs. Display upon display filled with shotguns and revolvers and pistols but hardly anyone had airguns and even then you have to be a thai to buy. Foreigner no sell - was the common answer. A lot of the lanes around the place, this was next to a Gurudwara, had places selling airsoft guns, loads of them but pretty expensive.
