It's not my eggs in the water, that's another poster's issue. It's my salami that doesn't like being dunked, bell end, as I said!

Should be locked up for that.

Thought it was "Jigger Ben"?

It's just the same here in Thailand!

That applies to most people in the 'Christian' world, also, which is even more absurd!

Geese [sic]? Huh?

Maybe in the link?

Seems that you're uncomfortaably familiar with most posters twins!

Don't p_iss in the sink, then!

Makes no sense at all. Why should we have to sit and suffer the indignity of having our bell ends soaking in the water that we're p_issing in?

Speak for yourself!

What is "crazy", charging import duty on imported goods? That would be normal.

OP of the year!

That is incorrect. 0.5% is deducted from GLO lottery winnings, 1% from the Thai Charity Lottery winnings.

Stamp duty is due on normal GLO lottery winnings, 0.5%.

To start an investigation you need to call Thailand Post initially, they do have English-speakers in their call centre. TP then has to liaise with the French postal authorities.

Cameroonians are "farangs" in the Thai sense of the word? Don't think so.

If you're bringing in a hugely expensive, obviously new item when returning from a country where those items are known to be bought because of their lower prices you should carry a receipt if it was really bought in Thailand.

Yes, and she didn't get away with her attempted scam on Customs.

No one is preventing visitors from wearing expensive clothing or accessories. They're not allowed to bring new, dutiable items in on the pretext that they're not new just to avoid import duty, though.

Customs officers have a "nose" for expensive, branded, obviously new items and the ways that some people try to sneak them in!

Unfortunately, when you made up that part of your story, you obviously didn't know that cheques backed by a cheque guarantee card could not be stopped, that was the whole point of a cheque card.

Thailand's import duty has nothing to do with VAT paid in the country of purchase!

They'll only get shaken down if they're trying to avoid paying import duty.

No duty on imported laptops.
