Ah yes, nobody wants sticky chocolate in the cabin.
A friend went through the new arrangements on the 1st. They confiscated his shaving foam, but he says that there was a limit of 100ml per package, as opposed to total. Those items deemed acceptable are placed inside a see-through placcy bag, provided at the airport.
I think they will find this hard to enforce in Bangkok, as soon as a few "high-so's" kick up a ruckus.
Not many travellers have cottoned on to the fact that some airports apply their own liquids criteria when transitting (such as CDG). My friend, for instance, had flown from LHR with exactly the same washkit and had assumed it would be ok for BKK. Once this becomes common knowledge, I predict a sharp fall in duty free sales of all liquids in all locations.
