The ones I used were pretty good at answering all my questions on procedues and costs, duty etc. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greytown Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks all for your replies. I did some searches. I see the customs duty can potentially be staggering. 65 to 110%.... !! Good to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you are coming here on a work permit, you can get all your personal effects in with 0% customs, if you do it within 6 months of arriving...so suggest search a little further, depending on your circumstances you may be able to get your stuff in at 0% duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popping out of the country and back into the country on a border run is "arriving" in Thailand in my book but would the authorities see it that way? I ask this I have just this month obtained a WP on a non-B issued issued in Feb this year. I left Thailand after 90 days and "arrived" back in Thailand an hour later. If this doesn't count as arriving in Thailand then I'm in for an <deleted> huge bill when my container of WORTHLESS household stuff arrives from Europe in a couple of months. (Didn't want to ship until I Knew I had a WP). I spent 8 months here in LOS last year on a non-O, what chance do I have of getting off duty free based on the LAST date that I "arrived" in Thailand i.e. a month ago?
