ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello all! This isn't really a question about visas, but maybe someone can help.  I am aware that one needs a permit to take any Buddha images out of Thailand.  Is there an office in Phuket where one can apply for permission? 

   I have a brass (not antique) standing Buddha that is about 34 cm, and also an antique Buddha hand that was my grandmothers which I brought with me to Thailand years ago.  Any suggestions would be welcome!
