I had the same experience with headphones. The PDF and searching the forum said 60% but they actually charged 10% on all the packages I got so far.

I actually found a couple of PDFs not even sure wich is the correct one. 

If the amp would be 10% I would do it if 60% I wouldn't. I just don't know where to get the actual correct percentage. 

Hello I want to buy an headphone DAC/AMP in Germany and get it delivered to Thailand. What is the percentage of import duty to expect on top of the 7% VAT. Or does anybody know the best way to contact customs to get the information there.

Thanks in advance!

The tax concession applies to SET (Thai market) listed shares not to non Thai shares unless those shares are held offshore from Thailand: some Thai brokers offer offshore share trading accounts for foreign shares, commissions are higher though 

Oh - so opening a local (Thai) broker account isn't any beneficial then since it get taxed on the source? I wonder how it is with ETFs like MSCI World where the shares are all over the countries.

For example to find an answer to your question I used this google query without the "

Thank you, this is really helpful.

(2) Why would you want the account to be in Thailand? Wouldn't you be better off using a brokerage account in Germany? Just transfer money periodically (e.g. annually) to save on transaction costs.

Thanks for your answer. I heard that taxes here in Thailand are much lower. Actually I found that capital gains on shares are non taxed and dividends just with 10%. (https://www.set.or.th/en/regulations/tax/tax_p1.html). In Germany its 25%.

Im (German citizen) currently working in Thailand and want to open a local share portfolio. I plan to trade international shares as well as international ETF like MSCI World etc. mainly for long term savings.

• Is it possible to trade those kind of things with a normal trading account on one of the big banks like Bangkok Bank, SCB etc?
• How much is the tax for the capital gains & dividends
• Do I need to put my earnings in the tax return and what happens when I stop working here. (In Germany they get automatically cut by the bank.)
• Anything i missed?

Thanks you in advanced for your help.

I dont mind to drive a bit outside Bangkok. The honey in the supermarkets are mostly preserved by high temperature. Im looking for raw honey. Sometimes I see vendors on the outskirts of Bangkok for example on the way upcountry who sell honey in old hong tong bottles, but from the taste and structure I have the feeling they mix it with water or sugar.

Hello, I wonder if there are any local beekeepers in Bangkok and surrounding areas. I want to get some raw good quality honey. 

Thanks in advance. 

Hello. How long is it possible to park the car in the BigC car park at Central Marina. Is it possible to keep the car there for some days and how much would it be? 

Hello,

valentines day is approaching and I need some flowers, any good and not overpriced flower shop in ChitLom area?

My one said 36 psi in the door all around, but I go a bit over by 2psi. I think I read it somewhere years ago and do it like that since then, no issue so far. 

What I recommend is when other people doing it for you always double check. I had situations after a tire change the pressure where all over the place on the 4 tires. ????

I had good experiences with these shops.

 

Automag Wheel (Located around Samutprakarn)

CG0400 (They have a few stores around bangkok)

Cockpit Boonya Auto (Located on petchburi)

Hello thanks for all the suggestions. I been to CG0400. It seems like the engineer knew what he was doing. Never less the steering wheel was still a bit of after the alignment was done. Not by far though.

That brings back the main question. He acknowledged it was off and adjusted it manually again without lasering it. So now my steering wheel is centered but the wheels are most likely not aligned anymore.

I really wonder how this is possible and if I'm missing something major here. In the alignment process the steering should be centered and it should be perfect after the alignment is done. 

Forgot to mention I'm looking for a shop in Bangkok 

Hey I got my tires changed/balanced/aligned. But now the steering wheel is not centered when driving straight. I went back to the shop and they screw something on the tires again (without putting it on the alignment rig). Now it's better but still off. 

It doesn't feel right especially with the manual free hand adjustment afterwards. What's the purpose of laser align everything and then later change it by best guess. 

Anybody can recommend a good shop just for tire alignment? 

Here is what I got send with the comment that they doing the road up to the top. I assume the definition of a bad road can play a role as well ????

Hello we want to go to Phu Tubberk end of the month and I heard that the road up to the top is in very bad shape. Can anybody report on the latest road situation?

I'm interested in sponsoring a child in Thailand for a longer period of time, not like a one time donation. Can anybody recommend a good and trustworthy organisation which I could contact?

Thank you!

Is it a big problem giving a pin?

Well it's inconvenient. At gas stations I need leave the car and squese me in the small booth to type in the pin. At homepro I need walk behind the counter for a refund and to type in my pin. All those small things,  I just feel the stores are not ready. From other countries im used that this device's are wireless. Here there are tight on the cashier counter and it feels not meant to be used by customer. 

Hello. Got a new Bank Card from SCB. nothing special just the normal one to use at the ATM. 

Now I have the problem that I always need to use the pin to verify payments, like one gas stations. Big C even told me I can't use this card. Everything worked fine with my old card. Do I miss something here?

Any update on this especially the clear evidence?
