Think was the other way and as far as i can remember wise don't have a service out of Thailand I tried a few months ago to send. Easy to bring in hard to send out. Because such a small amount a swap with a friend got to be the easiest way to do it.
To be honest in the north east it's like nothing ever happened every where open every where sells beer eat out anywhere so it depends on what part Thailand your going to. Yes corvid is in every city and out of control but are shop still working
My imgration told my landlady she have to put tax stamp on my lease to make it legal and they made her go imgration to sort it out as I rent alone a house. Not condo
When I took my lease to imgration they said to me e why is there no tax stamps on the lease they called my land lady and told her she needed tax stamps on it but we never did put them on.
I think it depends on what officer on what day you get to how easy or hard they wish to make it for you. Think now at this house I'm on my 5lease same tm30 from the first one
