Traveling to Thailand How Do I protect my gear?

Post by LisaSch » Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:03 pm

I think they fumigate airplanes and I really do not want to breathe poison. What works best to wrap machine and accessories? Any power requirements I need to know about? I plan on using an adapter.
Learning...brand new.

I found this link about arriving in Australia/New Zealand. Likely something similar may apply.

If I was going into that circumstance, I'd think about one of those vacuum bags that are used for storage.
Just a thought.

I'd just use large Ziploc bags. You can buy sizes larger than 1 gallon at stores like Target.

WOW - I had no idea that they did this.

"Disinsection is permitted under international law" - interesting that this is the United States Department of Transportation site and they say nothing about flights in the US... I wonder.
