Hi all.. my visa expires on 12 Oct so heading to Cambodia for a few weeks then back to Thailand. I’ve read that Customs frown upon you leaving on the day the visa expires (which I want to do) - is this true? Should I leave the day before? Thanks in advance for any info

I have a question that some of you may have experienced .

I am a cyclist and my wife & I are moving to Thailand to live . I have 3 road bikes and they are expensive . I want to ride the track out by the airport and some other areas .

My wife is a Thai national and lives with me in Canada .She has her PR and has lived here over one year , that allows her to bring items back into Thailand without being taxed from what I've researched

We will be bringing 3 road bikes with us , 2 are mine and 1 is hers . Total value of the bikes is around $35,000 and I'm wondering when we come through the airport in Bangkok are we going to have to get into a deep discussion over bringing the bikes to Thailand and immigration wanting to try to tax us ?

We will have sold everything else we own but the bikes were custom builds and I can't replace them in Thailand for what I paid for them . 2 are 1- 2 yrs old and the other is 10 yrs old .

Ive tried to sell the older one but most people at this time ( in Canada) do not have the extra money so I'm going to be stuck with bringing it with me

Anyone just rolled through immigration without issue ?

I do not plan on telling immigration that we are planning to live in Thailand at that time . I will apply for a marriage visa later but I do not want to commit to staying in Thailand until we learn more how the income tax may affect us .

If it does then we will jump countries and live 179 days in thailand and then go another country for the remainder and come back again but thats to be determined once we have been there for a few months and speak to a tax accountant

Anyone have experience bringing bikes with you into Thailand ?

Wondering about bringing things - specifically after having a 1 year retirement visa starting in January theres some kind of time period for bringing in whatever without customs taxes etc.. 6 months? Going back to U.S. in May for a couple months and wondering if should bother as well (no need to tell me not too, I live here simply and know ). … BUT I have a whole lot of books actually to donate to an educational institute in Chiang Mai, several guitars, bike, and potentially other things I could put on some kind of pallet if it came to that. I’m on the West coast and could get to SF or Portland but I think there’s a place in NY? (not that I want to ship it there first) - if anyone’s done this and has good knowing advice … would be awesome !

Shipping a package from the states. Has anyone shipped a pair of shoes sized box from USA? What was the cost approximately? It’s a pair of used running shoes so no value. But can’t find shoes big enough here to run in…trying to judge if it’s worth it.

Hi all. I brought 2 Rolex watches with me as personal belonging 6 months ago into Thailand from UK. As I live here I wanted the set with me. My dad shipped the empty boxes recently but the depot is holding the package as they want to see whats inside. How do I go about getting them safely? The boxes are not worth much. Do I say dad sent a gift over? I dont really want problems if they suspect I have the watches and suspect im selling.
