On August 2, they swiftly carried out the raid. The confiscated items included gas picnic stoves, skateboards, batteries, camera bags, fans, and various other products, which were being sold through both on-site and online channels.

The article above has nothing to do with retirees, those Chinese are known to operate many business under the radar and looking like locals, many get away with it until someone drop a dime on them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 this is like a drop of water on the ocean..... billions not millions worth of tax avoided goods from China arrive & distributed on a daily basis, unfortunately the ECD doesn't go after the BIG ones, the ones with connections 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 The Thai Customs and Excise department are quick to assess and charge duty on imports. No mention of their involvement suggests these goods were smuggled into the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
