Yes, they take passport. They will only mail the new one. Thai immigration will give new visa stamp.
Are long distance taxis in Thailand required to use the meter?
Josh

Negotiating BKK cab fares:
1. Hail a moving taxi in uncongested area: meter (if agreed)
2. Moving taxi in a congested area or to a non-central sector/parked taxi: +50-100% usually works.
3. Out of town: Grab rate (+/- 10 baht/km--or more.
4. A/P: extra for large bags; more limits on number passengers and bags.
5. Everywhere: + tolls

See DM. I don't know how you would negotiate customs duty, since you are unlikely to be able to speak with the customs officer.

Within SE Asia, by ship.

Time (door-to-door): 6 weeks.
Total shipping cost including tips to movers, pick-up, delivery, logistics, port fees, storage, freight charges, etc.: US$5,000-$7,000.
Did not negotiate any prices--all seemed reasonable.
