She's a misguided Samaritan.

There is only one thing worse than stray dogs and that's the people who feed them.

The chances of Elite members not already having a Thai bank account is fairly remote!

Real or BS ? start from flat battery !
Liverpool Lou replied to CharlieH's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I know. We're at cross purposes, toofarnorth posted... "How can you crank the engine with no battery power?". You responded, "Dynamo or alternator". Alternators don't crank engines that's the point I was trying to make. -

It's curious that this car with the dead battery still has electric windows that operate, before the dubious rope yank. -

or maybe his mate, ducked down out of sight of the camera, is using the ignition key! -
Do they ask for an email address on the licence application document or the car registration docs? I can't remember.
-
As the OP stated, if the fine is not paid, whether it was received or (allegedly) not received (but registered mail does need to be signed for) then a summons will be issued, then a 2nd, then an arrest warrant. Loads of warnings.

Why can you start a bike or a geared car then with a flat battery. Because the crank is turned by the action of the push start. Generators or alternators don't turn the engine. -
It's not ok to vape anything in Thailand, it's illegal, the article does not claim that vaping marijuana is permitted.

Dynamo or these days alternator. Generators/alternators cannot turn over an engine without battery power. -
Conditions to buy a motorcycle
Liverpool Lou replied to galenjones's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
A driving licence (Thai or foreign) is not a requirement to buy and/or register a vehicle in Thailand. -
Ah, no. It's 100% true. No, it is not true. The prices quoted by all vendors on Lazada do not cover potential import duty and VAT levied by Thailand on certain items.
-
I don't think you understand. Don't follow thousands of complaints and advice. Use them, I could care less if you get fleeced. I understand, it's you who doesn't. "Thousands" (what a joke) of Thaivisa complaints and advice doesn't make the fact that DHL is authorised to collect duty and VAT false. I don't use DHL, didn't say that I did and I'm not getting fleeced.
-
What I wrote regarding DHL and some other couriers, collecting duty and VAT on behalf of the Customs Department is correct, that is why so many think that DHL gives them a hard time, they are paid to do that and have no option but to apply duty and tax. Anyone who disputes those charges can ask Customs for a re-assessment. That others disagree with my pointing out what is a fact doesn't make my comment wrong.
-
DHL will almost always be flagged ... Pretending to know what you are talking about is hilarious. Knowing what I am talking about is hilarious also. DHL deliveries are not "flagged", DHL (and other couriers) have a contract to collect duty and VAT on behalf of the Customs Department and will always apply it if the item is assessible.
-
That is what I implied, it depends how they feel on the day Not exactly, you implied that because the clothes were used they should not have had duty levied on them. That is incorrect, duty applies to new or used items, the regulations make no distinction.
-
You dont normally pay duty on items over 6 months There is no specified consideration for the age of imported items. https://www.customs.go.th/list_strc_simple_neted.php?ini_content=individual_160503_03_160922_01&lang=en&left_menu=menu_individual_submenu_01_160421_02

You know what they say about sarcasm - the lowest form of wit - you being a Scouser should understand that! Well, one person said that once, in part, and now the whole world misquotes it. Oscar Wilde said (just his opinion, not a fact) "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence". Why do you (wrongly) think that I'm a Scouser?
-
The small extra disbursement fee is a charge they are permitted to make to compensate them for officially collecting the duty and VAT for Customs.
-
DHL and other courier companies operate as official agents for Thai Customs and have no choice but to collect import duty (if applicable) and VAT on behalf of Customs, it is not a case of their deliveries in particular getting flagged.
-
What?
-
It's not, with Lazada purchases.
-
No, it would not. Import duty applied to parcels from overseas is fully documented by Customs or the courier as the duty amount, VAT and any other permitted disbursements, and can be queried and re-assessed by Customs by request.
