My bag was vibrating and it gained a big audience

You may or might not know this, but sex toys are illegal in Thailand but what follows next was a lot more innocent than that. So my wife and I are traveling Thailand at the moment and on our flight from Krabi to Bangkok, we were chilling in the complimentary lounge of Bangkok Airways. Minding our own business, this very serious young lady came to me and asked if she could see my boarding pass and obviously I obliged. She looked at my ticket and passport and asked me if I would please follow her. At this point I figured something was not right, so she took me back through the security check and down into the basement where my luggage was waiting for me with a mysterious buzzing sound coming from the bag. It had been vibrating for some time as I could see the plastic wrapping was torn one spot, from chaffing against the luggage bin I suppose. I immediately knew what was going on and it gained a pretty big audience - about eight airport employees were now standing around me, it was quite funny. I figured none of them had seen a sex toy before and they were now waiting in anticipation to see the real McCoy first hand. The lady handed me a pair of scissors implying I should get this out now. So I proceeded to cut into the wrap as I knew what and where it was in my bag I just made a small enough incision to get my hand in there and jank it out. All of them at this stage was now giggling and talking in Thai. I calmly proceeded to get this thing out. As I pulled my electric shaver from my bag you could almost see that they were kind of disappointed. So from that day on I try and pack the night before but I have to say this was quite the thing for them. After getting my shaver out and closing up my bag she escorted me back to the lounge with the slightest of smiles.
In closing I would like to remind you not to pack your sex toys for your holiday in Thailand and remember to keep your shaver in your hand luggage to avoid this kind of innocent yet comical confrontation.
Pack Lighter, Go Further.
Peace be the journey.
