Popular Post ubonjoe Posted September 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2018 If your wife is Thai she can import your household goods duty free which could include tools. See: http://en.customs.go.th/content.php?ini_content=individuals_151007_02&lang=en&left_menu=menu_individuals_151007_02 IMO forget about the car since the import duties could be 200% or its value or more. Best to buy a new one after you get here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Who would be doing the repairs, as you wouldn't be allowed to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he was doing it for himself he could do it. The definition of work has been changed recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars are exempt from any concessions and I would go with Ubonjoe's advice. Don’t try to import the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure sounds to me like he's asking about setting up a small business. " small repair workshop on our farm" I hope he's able to accomplish it and become an asset for the community where he chooses to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes it's far from easy to find a particular business. A good small repair shop would always be welcomed by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjc1318 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 thanks for your input guys. The idea of a small workshop would be for myself and to help out the community more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
