This is a specialist area, and the duty rates vary from 60 per cent (ad valorem) to exempt (ASEAN).

Very importantly, anything classified under HS code 97.01 requires an import and an export license from the Fine Arts Department.

HS code 97.01 is for: Paintings, drawings and pastels, executed entirely by hand, other than drawings of heading 49.06 and other than hand-painted or hand-decorated manufactured articles; collages, mosaics and similar decorative plaques.

Prints, lithographs and statuary only require an import/export license if the article is over 100 years old.

Be very aware that if you import an item and declare it for duty at one price, then shortly afterwards you auction the item and achieve a much higher price, then if your item is very high profile you run the risk of having to negotiate your previous tax payment upwards.

@Crossy Are there any plans for the BTS to accept EMV payments?

@Crossy...?

My wife says 'no need'.

I think it will depend on the District Office. I've had to deal with a few in Bangkok, and a police report has always been needed.

1. Report the book lost at the police station and get a report.

2. Take the report, your chanote. your sale document and your passport to the District Office. A replacement book costs something like 20 baht.

Lesson learnt I suppose.In my whole adult life of 60 years I have never had a joint account. Surely two adults can come to good arrangements without ?

Whose idea was the joint account?

To save face, what you could do is have one account just for yourself, and retain the joint account. However only keep a relatively small amount of money in the joint account; perhaps enough to pay for 1 or 2 months expenses. Top up your joint account from your private account. You can explain it's for "tax reasons" from your home country.

Different vaccines have different dosages.

As this topic has turned into a discussion by members I have moved it to the UK forum.

I personally never gave gift cards, I prefer to give a gift that the person would use on a daily basis which could somehow improve their lives in someway. i.e more comfortable shoes, better phone/laptop, electric toothbrush, depends on the person and the occasion. 

 

I prefer not to give cash either, it's easily forgotten, when you give a gift that someone uses daily it leaves a longer lasting memory. 

Just don't buy your partner a steam iron and an ironing board.

I thought about gift cards at central but I found most things at central department stores to be priced a bit higher than if you went to the stores themselves 

Why would you want to exchange cash, which you can spend anywhere, for anything, in perpetuity, into an unguaranteed credit note with an expiry date that is only redeemable at limited locations where the goods on sale may not be the cheapest? Gift cards really are a triumph of marketing.

Thai culture is very different from your home country. Cash is most welcome here.

1.Unmarried 

2. None 

3.Joint names 

4.As above 

5.Yes (I hold it)

How many signatures are required to operate the account?

Any 1 signature from either account holder or both signatures jointly?

Many stores do not accept returns or exchanges unless the item is faulty.

Much safer to give cash. It's highly regarded and preferred 99 times out of 100.

16. The Bangkok Post and the Pattaya Mail do not allow quotes from their news articles or other material to appear on ASEAN NOW. Neither do they allow links to their publications. These restrictions are put in place by the above publications, not by ASEAN NOW. In rare cases, forum administrators or the news team may use these sources under special permission.

Does the Click have the same emergency key system as the PCX?
