I need either a crankcase for a Yamaha f100 outboard, or maybe a 60-115hp motor if I find a good value on a secondhand motor. The Yamaha dealer in Phuket wants 50k for the used part, or 90k for new, which seems like a crazy price to me. So I'm looking for other options/markets/sites. I've looked around facebook marketplace etc. I actually even ordered the part on ebay from a USA seller, but after a month of waiting ebay refunded me saying they couldn't ship it internationally, with no reason given. Just looking for some help finding a fair price on the part so I can get the boat back in the water before my dad visits. Thanks everyone.

Thank you for that @BritTim, that's what I was hoping. I can't really see why anyone would see it as a problem, but wasn't sure. Maybe I'll chat with the labour office anyway just for fun ;)

Hi all, if one has a retail business based in the USA, lives in Thailand on a Thai Child Dependent Visa (Non-immigrant O), would there be any issue with exporting products from Thailand to USA for retail sale in the USA? There would be no need or desire for an office or employees here. I'm a bit allergic to paperwork, so if it's a huge pain I'll probably just skip it, and continue importing from elsewhere. But if the attitude is to make it easy for foreign companies to buy and export, I may pursue it. I'd appreciate any input, resources, and sharing of past experiences, thank you.

Hi guys, thanks again for all the info. It's been about a year since I posted. My daughter and her mother (as well as her teenage daughter) now live in Phuket near me. I support them financially and visit daily. I'm currently on an ED visa with about 8 more months to go on that, so I'm thinking now might be a good time to get started on this child/dependent O visa (not sure the exact correct term). I would really appreciate any recommendation of law firms who are experienced and capable with this sort of visa, with good customer service at a reasonable price. I've done some searching around and looking at reviews of various firms, haven't yet found one I feel comfortable with. I'd like to do a brief phone or email consultation with maybe 2 or 3 firms to tell them my situation and get their proposal. I'm not sure if it matters much where the firm is located, like if there might be any advantage to using a firm with an office in Phuket or not. Thanks again for your advice everyone, it has been very helpful.
