I’m wanting to buy my Thai lady a domestic flight ticket. Do I use some sort of official English version of her name or do I try to enter her name in Thai? Is she ok checking in with only her Thai ID? I’m pretty sure she has no passport. Thanks
I wouldn't mind paying customs if I could be certain what the price would be in advance. From what I've researched, and confirmed in this thread, is that customs can and will attach any value they want on an item and I can't afford paying full price twice. One option I didn't mention is that I just won't buy the guitar, which is most likely. I just wanted to see what others may have experienced.
Hi, I am looking for ways to import an expensive used guitar over the 80K baht value. From what little I've researched of shipping, the customs levies are often arbitrary and can be 100% of value? I've also considered flying in with it as carry-on luggage. I've also wondered if any music stores or importers might help with shipping. Anyway, I thought I'd ask if anyone has any suggestions or experience with this process. Thanks
There are “Gold Master” kiosks in few select malls in Thailand that sell 99.9% gold items. Their prices are primarily the gold weight as in typical 96.5 % gold shops. There is a comment on their FB page that states their pieces don’t hold value. The commenter said he was offered 50% his purchase price. I’m just curious how that could be as long as the gold weight is the majority of the price? I can understand losing 100% on the design markup.
