    Yes, but make sure you’re given the correct 1 year permit to stay. I doubt they’ve seen many PE visas at that crossing.

    I did this once before (but when also leaving from that exit on a day trip) and after a while the nice lady did sort it out on her own. She spent some time on the computer first, I assume to check that she was doing it correctly.

     

    Thanks

    Yes, but you have to fly to Tachileik.

    Land travel is not permitted for foreigners in Shan state.

     

    Unless you live in Mae Sai I don't see the point.

    I live in Mae Sai and I will fly to Tachileik.

     

    I have traveled around parts of the Shan State before. I was told Mong La is off limits but some of it is okay, did this change recently? Keng Tung is still open?

    The OP doesn't have issues with the costs and associated paperwork. However, he has questions about the pretty universal 'wait' requests being dolled out by all the grey market importers, at least one of which he has worked successfully with already.

     

    I can't recall the exact date last year but wasn't there a significant amount of army and police activity after that Laotian drug lord was banged up? The one with the FB presence that showed his fleet of expensive imports both in Laos and on this side of the Mekhong? At least one Thai celebrity with a ride well above his pay grade was caught up in the subsequent (ongoing?) investigation of how come foreign criminals and lagorn stars had all these very expensive sports cars in Thailand? We all know why; they have the dosh... or they borrow them from those that have the dosh in exchange for favors. It's the 'how' that is being investigated. This is probably causing a whole lot of niche market importers to keep their heads well below the parapet. They are probably getting a lot of 'the subscriber has disconnected' tones when they try and call their contacts in Customs. 

     

    This being Thailand, I am pretty confident that given time, there will be a new, approved way for the OP to get the 'vette legally imported, possibly with a slight mark-up on the premiums, but not right now.

    I agree, that is why I went for the Huracan.

     

    And for everyone asking where I can drive it, there are many places up in the north with decent roads. I ride both HDs and a Ducati 899 up here and know where to go (and where not to go).

  4. Niche did not have any of the entry level 610-4s on show, and had none of the 580-2s. I'm going to assume most people want the fun options on a car like that. I ended up getting everything they had.

     

    If you are able however to find someone who can get my a z6 in my colour I'd be a happy guy.

     

    Thanks

     

     

  5. @rdokit, Yes I was off on the price, new starts at 30M the one I put a desposit down today on is 33M. That was a happy mistake.

     

    @woodsi888 I have worked with them, they can't get the type I want or at least nothing more than telling me to wiat for the last 6 months. But thank you for trying to help me.

  6. @canthai55  Thank you and that is more or less what we have been trying to do. (we have done it before) No one can get their import papers this year and I'm not sure why. We have tried several operations who are known to import different sort of cars. They just keep telling us to wait.

  7. I'm willing to spend 38 million on a Hurican if I can't get my Vette. I have the cash, what I can't find is someone with the import papers for this year. I know this is not easy but in the past it could be done with time and money. It seems something changed this year and no one got their documents sorted.

  8. Hello all, I am highly interested in either ordering a customized 2018/19 z06 or a 2019 ZR1. I understand they will come from Australia and will take at least 6 months. In the last 6 months I have had a heck of a time trying to find a company that has the import papers for this year, no one seems to be able to help me. Anyone know of a company that can do this?

     

    I'm just about to break down and buy a Lambo from Niche as I can't seem to sort this out no matter how many phone calls or people I ask.

     

    If there really is such an issue importing cars now, why? How will that get resolved down the line?

     

    Thanks
