Have any of our Thai Visa readers imported a car and if so what are the 'hurdles' ?

The hurdles are fixed do not fall over when you hit them.

Moved to the Motor forum for knowledgeable replies.  

 

Second hand can't import from 2011 . only an exception if you are a Thai citizen who lived abroad and owned several years of vehicle. New car its another thinks. Gray dealers have their own moves and at the bottom get cheaper. just go to such a dealer and ask about the price of a particular car model and the delivery time (if not available)

Either the guy is a troll or he doesn't know how to use the search function. I have been on this forum for over 12 years now I this question has been asked so many times it's just a waste of my time to provide an answer as I have answered it MANY times before.

Posts of a non contributory manner have been removed. 

 

Here's some topics for the OP to consider:

 

import duty on used car

 

Importing a Car to Thailand

 

How to imports used Vehicle into Thailand

 

Importing a car

 

shipping a car from europe to bkk

 

Personal import vehicle

 

 

The consensus in the above topics is:  Don't bother. 



 

I remember only one report here in the forum where a member claims he got through the bureaucratic jungle. If I find it I will link it.

Have fun reading through this:

and then understand why most say: DON'T! You'll end up as nervous wrack.

 

As an appetizer:

Tax/duty total rates are 187% to 328% with "discounts" for used vehicles depending on age.
