Best advice is not to take anyone back to " your place " unless you know them well, dont forget these street types have no morals ,even more so than the women, the guys in this business are even more ruthless and a very high number of boys working in gay clubs have girlfriends/wives, they are stricly there for the money, a friend of mine has been robbed 3 times and wont come back to pattaya anymore,

I was wondereing that, what about if theres a retrial and hes found guilty again !So he was sentenced to 22 years and only served 10 ... He should be very careful , as it could go the opposite was for him and he ends up serving the rest of his sentence ..

The thais wont worry about anyone on hunger strike !, they will just think " more for me " ,actually you have to admire the guy but his rights mean nothing in thailand as hes a "farang " ="

Surely he means if you marry a prostituteEven marriage is a ‘Pay for sex’ event...the thing is,...we pay once for a lifetime of sex
Have you ever been married?

EXACTLY what happened to a chap i know, he was told ( by C+E ) " yes all ok ,send it over " when it arrived it was conviscated, he was told in no uncertain terms that he could go to jail for not obtaining a prior import permit and was deported, the car was kept of course, they are ruthless, whatever rate you are told it will be be means bugger all,You love the car.
Someone at customs will love it more....and decide to keep it.

If you list contents as " handbag and sunglasses " or similar they are likely to think its fake and see this as a great way to extort money, ive never heard of anyone getting stopped at the airport on the way out with fake goods, but sent by post ive had a few phone calls to ask what was inside but never had one opened, the times they are a changingSo is this assuming now that Thai customs is opening every outbound letter posted or parcel as well?

I agree, and id feel like a gypsy, you can never own the land its on, and after a maximum of 20 years it will have fallen down,My own living quarters
Outside Cm, 3 bedroom furnished House rental 7000bht/month, sale price 1,700,000 = 20 years rental
Doing the math
1.7 million Baht invested offshore trust fund (no tax), return 5 to 10 percent, 85,000-170,000 bht return per annum
12 months rental at 7,000 bht a month = 84,000 bht
So in the worst case renting gives a profit of 1,000bht a year with no expenses.
In the best case renting gives a profit of 86,000bht a year.
(last year I made about 100,000bht profit by renting as my investments made a 12 percent gain, I'll let you know about next year)
Considering the risk you are taking by buying as well (total loss, bad neighbours, etc), buying just doesn't make sense to me.

Get Scouser to help you ,it sounds like you need itHave a look at the refusal notice that your sister-in-law will have been given. If the accusation is that she submitted false documentation, she will have probably been refused by reference to para 320(7A) of the Rules, in which case there is no point in re-applying as any subsequent application will automatically be refused for a period of 10 years by reference to para 320(7B).
Should this be the case, your sister-in-law's only option is to appeal, and hope to convince the immigration judge of both her genuine intentions and that no deception was employed.
Scouse.
yes the refusal was on section320(7a)
as i have never had to appeal before for a visa could anyone tell me what kind of evidence could be sumited to help this case .
i feel so upset that it was my idea to invite the sister in law to the uk for a holiday and now she wont be able travel anywhere in the next 10 YEARS
any help and advice would help
thanks

Now you are getting somewhere, yes based on THEIR ( thai customs) assessed value, which usually is utter <deleted>irrelevant dribble, dosent appy to me or this subject, goods were declared at purchased price and a receipt for the payment sent to thai customs
Utterly deceptive twaddlespeak says I.
Items are subject to tax based on value, not on purchase price.
This explains it all, really.

How long have you worked for customs and excise ?.irrelevant dribble, dosent appy to me or this subject, goods were declared at purchased price and a receipt for the payment sent to thai customs

Well for me on a direct 12 hour flight from or to the UK i take a strong sleping pill after 1 hour into the flight, i always take a night flight, sleep for approx 9 hours ,perfect, but you will need a window seat so that people arent crawling all over you to get to the toilet etc,

In todays paper ( thai ) the thai customs are congratuling themselves on the amount of taxes they collected last month, i had to laugh, how much over and above the declared amount did they pocket i wonder ?.......what i find not funny is why the spineless thais and others let them get away with that, and i hate to say it but my wife wont take up a challenge either ,all this loss of face <deleted>, and for all you thai defenders saying " well if you dont like it go home " well we are in 3 weeks thankyou.Forethat is obviously a Thai loving falang hating expat ( a typical syndrome) and no matter what we say somehow we are at fault and scamming the poor innocent Thais. Everyone knows the Thai customs are simply just an extortion mafia but he will never accept that. Nobody is stupid enough to complain if they were under declaring their item and the PROPER tax was asked for, in my case it was a $100 plastic TOY (price in the mall) and my tax was another $100. I was ROBBED.

Total charge cif is $56 ,1500 baht for fedex, 2000 for customs, so to answer your question, both !.or do you disagree ?
I can answer that, ive just been sent notice that a helmet i bought in the US FOR $34 has arrived with FEDEX, their charges 1500 baht, customs 2000 baht, ,total 3500 for a $34 item, i have told them to get stuffed and keep it,So first of all, for all of you who blaims Thai customs for this: your item is first cleared by the shipping company; that'd be DHL, FedEx or whatever, they will then charge you that amount PLUS their handling fee. If you think there is something wrong you can just file a complaint with that company. MAke sure you make the intial payment using your VISA or Amex and you're in a perfect position to walk away with no damage.
How does the Thai customs become a foul player in this..?
You're missing my point here: WHO is charging you excessive amounts? Thai customs or Fedex?
And how much was the shipping fee...?

irrelevant dribble, dosent appy to me or this subject, goods were declared at purchased price and a receipt for the payment sent to thai customs
Im sorry i have to agree with some other posters that you almost seem to acting for the couriers/customs !, ,heres another example, i was sent 2 items declared at $50 from china ,,( EMS) we were advised the import charges were 5200 baht, my wife called to say there was a mistake, on the phone they told her come to lam chabang customs office and "make an offer " ,so of we go, i immediatly asked them to open the box, inside the goods were as stated, i said all ill pay is the correct tarrif or we will walk, after 15 minutes of haggling and him punching a calculator we paid 152 ( one hundred and fifty two ) baht and were on our way ,p1ss takers at best, thives at worst is my thoughts,.It may depend on what kinds of things you're actually shipping...and if you're accurately completing the customs declarations...
For example, clothing items have a particularly high Thai official duty on them. I remember ordering something via a U.S. web site (because I'm tall and can't get the items here) that was shipped here by DHL...
I posted the details in another TV thread at the time. But basically, the shipping cost and the duties each were almost the price of the clothing items themselves. And actually, the customs duty, VAT and handling charges in total ended up costing more together than the total value of the 4 or 5 clothing items (shirts and pants) I had shipping. In other words, the total duty and tax (apart from the actual DHL shipping fee) was more than 100% of the value of the my goods.
Why don't you give some specifics of the kinds of things you've been shipping, and how the duties/customs/VAT charges have compared to the value of your items shipped.
I pay according to what is stipulated in Thai law. What else do you need to know?
http://www.thaivisa....land_vat.0.html
I have already told you what I have imported. Golf clubs, electronic equipment. I have also imported jewelry and clothes.
I really don't see the problem here, are you guys doing something dodgy and get pissed off when you can't get away with it! (Like having the sender incorrectly label the item as a gift or something that's broken?)?
First of all, you cant declare an item at a value much lower than market value and expect that Thai customs will let it pass,can you?
I'm not telling you that is what you've done, but I've found that when people are whining and moaning about charges it turns out they've shipped the stuff as "gifts", "repairs" or similar, and most commanly at a MUUUCH lower valuethan the REAL value, but in reality it's a spanking new item.
If you cant pay the tax for the stuff you buy, dont by 'em. If you're being subject to foul play, tell your Credit Card issuer and you'll get all your money back again. Unless, of course, there's something dodgy going on.
But I'm confident all farangs in Thailand are genuinly honest, taxpaying citizens, so you dont have to worry about that..

Entered at koh kong last month , no problem ,i assume you are talking about poi pet ? ,its know as the worst port of entry, however i have been through there twice, ,but never againWrong , wrong wrong.
I came back from Cambodia last month. Contrary to all advice, YOU CAN"T take your Thai registered car in at the border. I spoke at length with the Cambodian official. They showed me the paper work required. You must obtain paperwork / permit from the Ministry of Tourism in Phnom Pehn. Had to leave the car at the border car park & catch a taxi into Siem reap.
So unless posters have taken their Thai registered car in the last 2 months, PLEASE don't give wrong advice like I was given.

Also insurance can be obtained in phnom penh ,.you can also get it at the other side of the poi pet border , but you have to get through first,Wrong , wrong wrong.

Fine, what about if its 20kilos and a big box, ?Simple lesson, do not send things by DHL, Fed Ex, etc, send item in an ordinary postpack envelope with declared value nil, gift or secondhand book.
Never opened.

Unfortunaly sammy there are a lot of losers and or people that cant make a business work in Thailand , this will be reflected in some of the bitter/sarcastic replies,,but basically you have to be a businessman to have a business,a lot of these types are not and never have been, that they have failed and gone back to sending copy goods to their home country or worse reflects what goes on in many cases, ,i wish you luck in your idea, but Thailand dosent suffer fools and its not an easy place to prosper for foreigners ,good luck
