Hi All

Serious question

I have a lovely/ tall/ mechanical Grandfather clock that I would like to keep when we move to Thailand

BUT, my wife has just asked how will the wood (that it is made from) react in a hot humid climate

Yes I appreciate we can use a dehumidifier/ possibly the settings from an Air Con unit to lower the humidity but does anyone have any idea or experience how such a wooden feature would react under such circumstances especially if it was left for 3 months at a time without any humidity control

Thanks in advance

Hope you all enjoy your weekend

Hi, awaiting approval for LTR pensioner visa. Looks like it's taking longer than we first thought. Hopefully get it OK soon.

Does anyone know what duty and taxes are charged on shipping personal possessions to Thailand once a long term visa has been approved? I'm hoping to ship some belongings over but need to have an idea of costs.

Hi! I have questions about import duties and customs. The mover told us that guardian visa and education visa holder are not exempt from import duties and customs. Do you know which visa will be exempt from those?

Hi folks, I'd like to ship my laptop from Germany to Thailand. I am already here. Any recommendations how to do that a) save b) cheap and c) what paperwork is needed?

I am thankful for any advise!

Not Visa related, holiday travel. Ok to travel with 'gift-wrapped' packages or customs needs to open and inspect ?

I have electric appliances both ”big” and small in China. Sending stuff via post to Thailand. Can you get the end of electrical cords switched to work in Thailand? Is it Worth it? How cheap is this? Just needing to know what is worth it to send from one country to another.

Question about Thailand customs/parcel clearance - In May I sent two small parcels (<2kg) via UK Royal Mail from London to Thailand arrived in 6 days no problems at all. Last week I sent a larger parcel (10kg) via TNT and paid extra because they advised 3-5 day delivery time. Not only has the parcel been delayed on route (Dubai and Singapore) but is now being held by FedEx in Bangkok and I’m being told I need to pay for a private clearance agent for them to release the parcel. Does anyone have experience of this happening???

Hi.

Anyone knows about import duties and fees, taxes etc into Thailand?

My friend would send me a (1600usd worth) laptop from USA to Thailand, Phuket.

I was enlightened by someone that ill have to pay extre on top of the shipment cost, i already pay for fedex.

Ive been researching for it but confusing numbers all over the place.

Probably somwone here from US would know it better or anybody.

Thanks :)
