Flight help

Hey all, I'm going China in March next year, and I would like to take a flight to Thailand. Because I will be brining electronic equio9back with me, would it be better to go to thail9forst and then China or China first and then Thailand? ( and then back to UK)

Your question context is pretty vague but unless you’re trying to transport commercial goods or large quantities of goods without declaring, the trip sequence shouldn’t matter.

I think it is just a typo. What he means is probably electronic equipment from China. If you planning to buy electronic equipment from China you should go to Thailand first and have your holiday and then to China and then fly directly home. Travelling with anything like electronic equipment that potentially attract taxes it is a hassle for custom clearance. In third world countries like Thailand the immigration will love to tax anything they can and look for opportunity to get a bribe.
