Myran Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Nemises said: Not if the computer is new and you’re in possession of the sender’s photo ID and proof of purchase etc - as detailed here That company's business hinges on people being willing to do this, so pardon me if I don't believe that what they're saying in a disguised ad will hold up in a court in countries such as Thailand, or that their system of asking for a receipt completely erases the risk of receiving things that have been tampered with. Not saying that the risk is particularly high if going through a company like this, but for some random guy on an internet forum? Forget about it. Not worth the risk, in both cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web page states........ "If any traveler is unsure of something, or gets into any difficulties, all three companies say they have 'support staff' available around the clock to help, be it via telephone, live web chat or email".......or the local jail priest lol. That's not very reassuring. You MAY get a telephone call but I doubt you would get 'web chat' or 'email' if you did end up in prison. Yeah ok, I may come across as paranoid but, would you take a chance on doing this sort of thing just to earn a couple bucks a year. Pretty dodgy/risky way to earn a quid I recon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW laptops (tablets) are featured as being one of the main types of merchandise transported successfully for years by other travelers who have room in their luggage. Hopes this helps the OP.

The Customs website is a good place to start for specifics as is their English-speaking call centre. This site, https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/, is useful and generally accurate also.

What does "their own girls" mean? Thais are not exempt from import duty From my recent personal experience the customs recently are not paying much attention what goes in at the airport. I went through Phuket 2 times in the last 4 months, there is no X-ray of the incoming baggage, one can just cruise through the green corridor. The second time I came in I had probably 250-300k worth of gear including 3 laptops, no issues whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
