- On a recent trip back to the U.S., I ended up paying $200 for an extra checked bag when returning to Thailand. At 6’3″ (190 cm) with size 13 (31 cm) shoes, it’s tough for me to find clothes and shoes that fit here. For me, the baggage fee was worth it.
But if you’re not big or tall, you’re in luck—clothes and shoes are much cheaper (and easier to find) in Thailand. Save yourself the baggage fees and shop after you arrive!
