Retirement Imports

[rockinjockscot]

The official expat retirement scheme in Malaysia (Malaysia My Second Home) offers retiring expats tax-free vehicle imports. Anything like this on the go in Thailand? I'm having to take unplanned retirement in the near future for health reasons, and having just spent about $4500 on a complete mechanical overhaul of my '97 Jeep Cherokee (mine from new - 85,000Km), I'm not too keen on the idea of selling it when it will go for less than $6000.

No, nothing like that in Thailand.

Sell it and buy another one overhere is less troubles than try to import yours. Forget it.

Just a thought, get your pride n joy into Laos, come across the border at Nong Khai, once in Thai, take number plates off, then you will be like a majority of thai drivers with no plates/lights/indicators/road sense here in north Issan, or you could try to do it legally, expect to pay between 150/300% import tax, your choice and good luck to you!
