  1. Shipping would be handled by the sender in the US. What you need is a Thai customs agent who (if necessary) can get you registered with paperless Customs in advance to reduce the amount of time it takes to clear the goods once they are landed.

  2. All communications devices require a type license from the NBTC in Thailand. This license is normally applied for by the manufacturer/importer/wholesaler. The unit must conform to the Thai radio spectrum in terms of what frequencies it can transmit on and the power it uses to transmit before a license is granted.

     

    Once the type license is granted the units are legal for sale in Thailand. However, after purchase the owner must then apply to the NBTC for a license to possess and operate the unit. This license to possess and operate the unit is what Customs want to see.

     

    You can not apply to possess a unit that does not have a type license.

     

    The next thing to do is contact the NBTC to check if the unit has a type license. If it does you can apply to possess the unit. From memory the cost of a license to possess is about 500 baht and takes 2-4 weeks to be granted.

     

    If the unit doesn't have a type license then see if you can cut your losses and return it.

     

    If the unit does have a type license but is inexpensive then also think about cutting your losses and returning it because the daily storage fees might end up more than the unit is worth. It depends on how quickly you can deal with the NBTC.

  3. Does anyone have suggestions about how to fly to the UK from Thailand

     

    a. Without transiting through a UK red list country,

     

    b. At low cost (which rules out direct flights)

     

    c. Without having to quarantine in any transit country

     

    Your input would be appreciated.

    I would need this person to go to the amphur with me?

     

    You need the house master to go with you. A juristic person cannot be a house master. It may be that there is no house master, in which case it will have to be the owner. If the owner is a juristic person it will have to be one of the directors, although some District Offices will allow the director to send someone in their place with a letter of authority.

    I'm still not sure why landlords are so against registering a tenant in the house book.

     

    Because it does nothing for the landlord and can create severe problems. I was involved with a property where a Bangkok District Office refused to issue a new blue house book to the owner of the property because the house master wasn't present to authorise it.

     

    The house master was the previous owner, who had lost the blue book prior to the property being sold to the new owner. After the sale the previous owner went to live in a forest temple and could not attend the District Office in Bangkok.

     

    For the new owner to get a new blue book it took several months and a formal investigation by the District Office. Both the previous owner and the new owner were Thai.

     

    People hear about situations like this and they do not want to put themselves at risk when there is nothing in it to benefit them.

    So, is it really as simple as finding a new landlord that is willing to go down to the amphur with me with just their blue house book and Thai ID card?

     

    Yes.

    How would they look me up on the system if I'm supposed to have surrendered the yellow house book and pink ID?

     

    The easiest way would be if you had a picture or copy of your previous yellow book or pink ID card or if you know your non-Thai ID number.

     

    If you don't have any of that they could check your previous address, but that is going to be quite slow and painful to do, so best advice is to try and help yourself as much as possible.

    Would I have to go through this process again...

     

    No. This process is to obtain your Non-Thai ID number. Now you have that, it can be changed between yellow books in a few minutes.
