It will be an expensive long drawn out process with the final outcome being a vehicle that cannot be road registered out here.

Westfields can be purchased here, not yet road registrable though, might be a viable option for a track toy rather than importing your own ??

Thanks Spoonman, that is depressing That said, I will be registering a company with BOI when I get here; do you know anything about personal import of a vehicle under such circumstances as my alternative would be to change the Cat for a Lotus Any input gratefully received.

Has anybody brought in a kit car, such as a Caterham 7, either built or in component form for assembly here? Would bringing the separate components in avoid the punitive taxes?

I have such a car in the UK that I am very keen to bring here......

Help please! I am about to buy a house that we have been renting up in CM. Can any finance experts advise whether I should bite the bullet and buy now, or continue to rent for the next few months and delay the purchase, perhaps until after the UK election? I would be sending the money in Sterling. Property is Baht 4.25m. Thank you in anticipation.

I'm hard pressed to see GBP/THB get any stronger than it is at present in the short to medium term, as you're aware it is falling at present and it may well continue to do so for some time. Having said that, if you make your exchange now and buy your house you will likely show a paper profit on the exchange rate in a few months time as GBP/USD reaches its low point. But if you're buying your home as a home and as a place to live for many years, by the time you go to sell the exchange rates will likely be very different and it's possible that in say five or ten years time, you will show a loss on the exchange rate - do you really care about that though, if you're buying a home and not an investment, buy the place, live in it and be happy.

Good advice thanks. I have decided to use a mortgage facility I've arranged in Thailand rather than all the cash I have got lined up from UK. Then if the situation changes for the better I can then pay the Thai loan off later in the year. Wishful thinking, perhaps

Have you legally agreed to the purchase? 4.25m is a lot for a house up there, must be a big one.

Don't know. It's too big a decision for me.

Thanks. I am happy with the value. Big enough

I really hope that the government finds a way to distribute these funds back to the people they were taken from. It would go a long way to help the cause of staying in power
