Will you really be shot for selling fake goods in Thailand?

No!

In Thailand, only those caught making and selling counterfeit medicines will be sentenced to death. I heard that a new rule has been added recently. Rape in Thailand will also be sentenced to death! But selling fake goods is not punishable by death.

In fact, the death penalty is very rare in Thailand. From 1932 to today, more than 300 prisoners have been executed in Thailand, and the death penalty was banned for a period of time. Later, the death penalty was reinstated because counterfeit medicine was used during an eye surgery by the former Thai king, resulting in permanent blindness in one eye. However, at that time, it was only limited to the crime of making and selling counterfeit medicine.

Once caught selling counterfeit goods in Thailand, you will be sentenced. At most, you will be fined more money and then jailed for two years, but you will never be sentenced to death for betrayal, let alone shot.
