I think it is popular. A few years ago, I met a couple at the outlet who went to Thailand every few years. They always bought a bunch of Coach bags before they visited so they could sell them to their friends.

Doesn't Coach cost a lot more in Thailand than in the US?

Does anyone here know about excise tax and dealing with customs in Thailand. Im bringing 2 coach bags with me?

Last time I checked:
Free import for non-residents:
- for holders of transit visas or who can obtain a visa on arrival: up to THB 10,000 per person or THB 20,000 per family.
- for holders of tourist visas: up to THB 20,000 per person or THB 40,000 per family.

Most coach bags won't exceed the maximum the declaration value. You can take them out of the boxes/packages as most of the time they would view it as your personal belongings.

Thank you for the information. As an American bringing gifts, would it be wise to have my receipts on me? I hadn't even considered it, but I guess better safe than sorry!

I think it's a good idea to have the receipts handy. Unless you're bringing big ticket items, I won't be worried too much about the customs. They more likely to target people who're bringing in high-end brand like Chanel or LV.
