Technically, you can bring such items if it has not been used to smoke a controlled substance. If you're dumb enough to do this, I would advise packing an unused bong in your friend's luggage and not as a carry-on. Keep in mind that your friend is surely going to draw the wrong kind of attention from airport security and then the police in Vietnam.

There is something you should think about before you do something stupid. Believe it or not, Vietnam is one of the toughest countries in the world on drug enforcement. There are at least four Australians sitting in a Vietnamese prison right now waiting to be executed because they were recently caught for smuggling.

Do you want to take a chance with your friend's life? Tell your buddy in Vietnam to buy his own bong.

Answer 3

yeah Viet Nam sure does take drug smuggling seriously and people get executed for it. it was just a few months ago i think where i read an article on someone getting executed for smuggling drugs over...i think they were austrailian

Answer 4

you can buy them there,just about any souvenier shop in sai gon. but if the pipe is clean you can certainly bring it in..just about every household ive ever been in in vn has a bong on the floor in the front room.. although they dont call it that.. ask for "dieu cay"..

Answer 5

Paranoia strikes deep.  Sure "smugglers" are prosecuted hard but the casual user is not bothered.  And the smugglers that end up in jail just didn't pay the right amount of bribes.  there are pipes everywhere in Vietnam.  If you want to bring in a High quality bong just make sure that is has never been  used and pack it in your checked baggage.  The odds of the baggage being opened are slim and even if the bag is opened, the Vietnamese are so used to seeing pipes that they are not going to give your any trouble.  

But... Be cool.  Unless this is something really specialized , you can buy it in Vietnam for less than you will pay for it where ever you live.
