Details
Personal copies of religious texts are generally permitted at most borders worldwide. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and other Gulf states restrict importation of non-Islamic religious literature beyond personal-use quantities; a single Bible for personal use is typically tolerated but quantities for. In the reverse direction (taking religious texts out of Thailand): allowed — Religious texts for personal use may be exported from Thailand freely at personal-use quantities.

Practical advice
Single copies of personal-use religious texts clear Thai Customs without declaration. Multiple copies of the same text may be questioned about commercial intent or evangelism in countries with anti-proselytism laws.
