  1. I wouldn't live without these small fellas out here. They do no harm, they catch mosquito. They shit. Well what goes in have to get out. Mean if you clean your house / condo like normal people do, you wouldn't never notice their stools.

    Another talk is Tukae. If these are inside they get a slap in the ass with a broome.

  2. I will recommend White swan. I can not recognize that they keep you in the dark. We used them. No problem and good packers. The manager was always polite and answered my question when I wrote. Lately my friend from Bangkok used them to England. He was also OK with them.

  3. Without having read the entire tread, I just want to say this. You must be a patient person. It is totally impossible. Just see their vision for Hitler and as they behave. Most Thai do not know a damn thing regarding world history. Most they do not even know what's going on in their own country. So why should they know what is happening and has happened in the big world.

  4. Surely not enough to just wade into people's homes on suspicion alone and certainly not without search warrant. But again this is Thailand and anything is possible. Police and other agencies can act like wild monkeys and do whatever suits them. Who will stop them?

  5. There are rules and then there are rules. The official rules says that you are permitted to import 1 electric items of each. Nobody need to know how old these items are. Then there are Thai Custom Officers rules. They can do what they want. But also it depends on what kind of Visa to entre on. Officially it is only returning Thai citizens, been out of Thailand for a year or more, people with work permit and Diplomats who are allowed to import without paying any tax, but again then conditions must be met before they can. Get hold of a good agent/ moving company that are willing to help you and not only care about money. We did and didn't paid 1 Satang.

  6. I think that is wrong that so many try to discourage people to sell their stuff and buy new here. Not so much in this thread, but in many others that deals with this topic. Yes, customs officers may be some pigs in many areas. But compared to what new costs out here. I'm not talking about the street shops that sell Thai quality furniture, but about but the stores that sell western quality furniture. These places are often more expensive example. Europe due to the freight out here and 30% luxury import tax. I tried to look at a Bang & Olufson TV. It cost twice the money as in my home country. I would at any time send my stuff. Because you always have things that are very personal, there can be memories and many times also inherited. And again the cost for buying the same out here, can be a very expensive experience.

  7. Can bring electric items, but 1 of each. Like 1 TV etc. Have a friend here, he paid bath 20.000 on a retirement visa.

    There are rules regarding importing personal items. But the custom officers go their own rules. Never mid what the internet say.

    Get hold of a good moving company like we did. We didn't pay anything.
