The fine of 500 baht/day once notice is given is probably spelled out in the condo rules. The correct course of action would have been for the condo owner to lobby other condo owners to modify the rules. That's what happened in our building where it was evident that the problem was out-of-control owners of dogs, but not other animals. For a time, all animals were banned, but existing pets were "grandfathered". After owner input, the rules were changed so that pets that remain in the condo and are only taken out of the unit in an appropriate carrier are permitted. And rules are specific as to how many cats, specifically, an owner can have based on the size of the unit. It's enforced, too.

It's a common misconception that retirees are entitled to a one-time duty exceptions for importing their household items. It used to be that way a very long time ago and that info still shows up on the websites of some legal firms. I know people who have brought in equipment in their checked luggage for sound recording, medical instruments to donate, etc, saying it was for their hobbies without problems, but I don't know if this could be checked luggage on an aircraft. Couldn't something like this be sourced locally?
