Mind you. There are one or two ugly ones. They'll have you.

It is not the Thai Customs you need to worry about. It is the corrupt courier companies who say the Customs are making the charges. My own experience of DHL is they charged me 3700 Baht on behalf of Thai Customs. In the post I received a receipt for 200 Baht from Thai Customs. Where did the other 3500 Baht go??? DHL. Which meant DHL were paid twice for the consignment via corrupt Thai Employees, performing on their behalf.

He has never been prosecuted for financial corruption and found guilty. He made his on money. He once owned Manchester City Football Club with his own money. His greatest achievment was the building of Suvanabhumi Airport that has benefited the tourism of the whole of Thailand. Let us not forget the antics of Suthep Thaugsuban who dodge all legal formalities and the harm he did to Thailand.

To sell or not to sell, that is the question for Thai Expats

If the the pound was worth $10 in 1865 what was the Baht worth. Could have been a Trillionaire back then. -
Does it mean they have discontinued the compulsory Covid cover? Then I don't mind the 300 Baht accident cover. I once spent 24 hours in a Thai hospital at a cost of 1750 Baht for a minor accident. I did not have the money on me they did not force me to pay. Later on in the day I was signed off I went back and payed it. 300 Baht is better than the high price Western Insurance cover. Most of which never ends up in Thailand anyway. Most of the Insurance companies took advantage of Covid to charge high fees for all types of medical cover.

What's the Average Age Here?
William C F Pierce replied to Neeranam's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I'm 79 and still able to run and eff like a rabbit. Whilst I see men half my age already well and truly cream crackered. Age is only a mathematical dimension. Apologies to any US citizens (Yanks) who don't understand London English. -
Is Thailand creating a Cannabis tourism empire?

Could be they are thinking of exporting back the other way. There is always a method in Thai Madness. Still it will increase Thailand's Cancer rates no end from smoking. The 2 big "Cs" Cancer and Covid; are they sure they know what they are doing. -
Bringing Alcohol to Thailand -- Tax Amount?
William C F Pierce replied to JayBird's topic in General Topics
I have never been stopped in coming to Thailand by customs. Yet 8 times I have been stopped on my return to the UK with a half empty suitcase by the same Custom's Officer. I don't know if he was born stupid or he just grew that way.
