One cannot carry it onto the plane. They transport it in storage and one gets it back at destination. -

Thinking of going for Apple for the first time..
JimmyJ replied to brewsterbudgen's topic in Apple Products
gamb00ler - "However, Apple's security for downloaded programs is more restrictive than what I remember from Windows. If you download a program from an unknown source, you simple have to acknowledge and accept there may be some risk involved. After you do that, you can run it with no further interruption." I was going to ask if Apple computers allow apps which are not thru the Apple Store, but you have answered that already - that anything can be downloaded. It's always been my understanding that Apple phones do not allow any apps other than thru the Apple version of Play Store. Is that correct? -

Bad shot? -
Using agents for visas
JimmyJ replied to Chainsaw's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
About every 2 weeks the same basic thread. OP - Your question has been answered, or at least you have heard both.sides. If you want to read these same arguments for the next week, do a search of your question and read the same repetitive endless arguments on countless previous threads. I suggest the thread be closed before it becomes an 18 page rehash of the thread from 2 weeks ago which was a rehash of the thread from 2 weeks before that, etc. -
A Good Doctor in Chiang Mai? Anyone know one?
JimmyJ replied to Formaleins's topic in Health and Medicine
"She has booked me into the RAM hospital (complete with 20% referral discount)...". Wasn't aware of this before. Do you know if it's 20% off the initial consultation only (the doctor's charge), or your entire bill including tests etc. is discounted? -
An unnamed uninterviewed contractor and an unnamed uninterviewed former senior intelligence official. Basically meaningless.

Import tax customs duty runaround from an item purchased from Amazon
JimmyJ replied to dhupverg's topic in General Topics
The last post in the above thread has my calculation of what I paid in my 1st experience with Amazon's Estimated Import Deposit. I called up week or 2 after it arrived to ask the same question the OP did. It felt like the CS rep hadn't heard of any of this previously - he asked me to hold so he can check with someone, came back what felt like much too quickly and told me it was collected in full, no refund. I felt nobody had checked. A few days later I got an email from Amazon stating the amount of my refund - detailed in the linked thread. So the CSR had checked with someone who told him "Say that it was all collected" as a way of not bothering to check into it. NOTE - I made about 7 Amazon orders in the same period of time. I had first priced out a few weeks earlier what they would cost with Amazon including shipping and Estimated Import Deposits. When I was ready to make the purchases (about 6 - 8 weeks ago) they were no longer collecting the Deposits for all except 1 item and that item now no longer has the Deposit collected. So hopefully Amazon is no longer involved in collected the Estimates and the OP's dilemna will no longer exist. -
Import tax customs duty runaround from an item purchased from Amazon
JimmyJ replied to dhupverg's topic in General Topics
They state that the customer will not be charged anything additional (they will cover it). That is (at least 1 reason) why they tend to overestimate greatly. -
Import tax customs duty runaround from an item purchased from Amazon
JimmyJ replied to dhupverg's topic in General Topics
"When a seller/Amazon collects the duty at source..." Amazon does not collect the duty, they collect an estimate of the duty and tax, and state that if it is too much the overage will be refunded. I agree with the OP that there should be an accounting and notification /confirmation of what was collected. Agree with you that Amazon should provide it. -

I've seen this referred to several times. Is this an official Thai directive, or general observation/estimate/(selective memory perhaps)? Urban legend? If it is an official figure, if they look at a receipt inside the package, that could include tax and shipping, perhaps service/handling charge. Is the 1500 THB figure supposed to be the total for the item alone?

Interested in a specific dentist name rather than e.g. "The XYZ Company". Someone you know is excellent for this task, and (at least ideally) with very good bedside manner and very good English. Thank you.

Less expensive than Ram or Bangkok Chiang Mai? If so - If a Dr. I want to see works Sriphat and also Ram or Bangkok CM, is there any reason not to make the appointment at Sriphat?
