just this morning I had exactly this conversation with my buddy in Korrat . We are building a house right now in Khon Kaen and will be retiring full tome there next year. I have a lot of good quality tools in the US and I would like to bring some of them to Thailand if it was cost effective. Part of my challenge is the difference of voltage from the US to Thailand. SO. If you are married to a Thai, and your wife has lived a length of time ( not sure what it is) out of Thailand she has the one time right to bring her personal used items home without paying import duty. So I am thinking a small container for me. Lawn Mower , pressure washer, weed wacker, should be no problem because they are gas powered. Some furniture, pictures books, clothes pots, pans. etc. Non electric tools, Washer Dryer and oven stove maybe, (all 220v), and tools such as rechargeables, that can be used with a transformer. I am not sure of thes cost . will look in to it and see if it is worth the trouble. or if for the cost I can buy everything there. But if you have a wife, look into the wife repatriation option.
I shipped a crate from ny full of tools as for voltage I got a site transformer from uk had no problem ship door to door . I have also taken a lot of the tools back to uk in luggage also no problem
