Eucalyptus Oil will Shift it easily without damaging the paint but it has a very strong smell. (Which I like). You can get it at most Pharmacys.

Sounds great for the Government in priciple. But how many more customs officers will then need to calculate all these few baht duty for each shipment and are they suddenly expecting all the carriers to collect the duty for them! I expect chaos to ensue before the policy is reversed.

So what happens to anyone buying a condo. Has the price just gone up by 20/30% or whatever, thats going to have a pretty big impact on the new condo market!

I walk past their 7am most mornings. Its not tourists! Locals relaxing after working all night. A lot of them are ladyboys, yes they drink and play music (I don't think its that loud) along with some volleyball. Its quite funny watching tthe ladyboys in short cocktail dresses playing volleyball.

I feel a crackdown coming on! Pity as Pattaya is just starting to get back to fun city.

I am currently having an issue with Thai customs and I wonder if anyone can tell me who is correct. Last year I purchase two limited edition items in the UK (what they are is immaterial). They were only charged to my credit card and shipped to me last month. They already have the suppliers invoice and my credit card bill showing the matching date and amount. The price can be confirmed on several independent web sites as RRP (Recommended retail price). However due to the limited availability of these items, scalpers are advertising identical items for roughly twice the price already on various sites. Thai customs want to charge me duty on the price now being asked by the scalpers rather than the price I paid. My question, should I pay duty on the proven price I paid or the current perceive value! These are collectors items and I have no intention of reselling them and it strikes me that customs are asking for duty on a perceived profit which I won't realise and (to me) they shouldn't be asking for, as most imports are marked up and resold in Thailand without customs asking for a share of the profit. At the end of the day, they hold my shipment and I will probably have to suck it up and pay anyway. But I would like to know if people think I am right or not! (It makes me feel a bit better)
