i am part of approx 5 Thai car groups and yes, have seen it answered many times. My cars i am referring to are not normal vehicles. USA has different registering for vehicles considered "special interest" and other designations that do not need to meet all current auto regulations. The question i have is do they have a race car, art car, collectible car or simply a non highway or road legal classification that my cars could fit under. I understand taxes, import fees, shipping. What no one can answer is can the car be brought legally in under another classification. I plan to move by Bira, so car can be trailered to track and not street driven.

My nightmare is to be told wrong info, then have a $150k car and 12 year build time get confiscated and crushed. I'm sure you can understand how I am not relying on fb post answers to guarantee anything. If there is a risk of that happening, I simply will choose somewhere else, or sell the car and just build another one there. Then I get into full retooling to do such a project. Now we get into getting all of my tools there and what is the import fees if any on that. Is furniture and tools classified as the same thing when it comes to import taxation or legality? I have some antique war collections. Can this be brought in or will I be taxed on value? These are the more indepth questions I have. I am looking for the written Thai laws so that I have some recourse or a leg to stand on incase I fall victim to corruption or confiscation.

i am primarily looking for the actual current written laws, enforcement and penalties of those laws. Then can decide for myself which is the best way to go about my goals with the least amount of liability legally or financially.

@John ******

someone mentioned Thai embassy. I looked and found out there is one about 30 minutes from me in the US. So will start there and hopefully get it cleared up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have run across Siam Legal in my research.

Thanks to those that gave ideas. Looks like there is a Thai embassy in my town here in the US and will start there. 👍

@John ******

thanks. I will set an appointment with someone there on next trip.

@Brian *******

thank you.

@Braulio ********

my belief system ties very closely to Buddism to start. I enjoy the people there and their friendliness which allows me to be my true self, something which is becoming hard to do in the US.

I am extremely creative and have been self-employed nearly 30 years, and still 51yrs young. I have many more business ideas in mind and can easily be adapted to Thailand creating skilled jobs.

My plan was to originally simply retire there, but I think I could only be idle for a month or so then have to create something. Even if it be simply a volunteer clean up crew a couple days a week.

@Phil ******

sure have. Thai gov websites give little to no actual written Thai laws. Only simple immigration/visa questions. What makes it especially hard is the same shit that happens on here happens everywhere, and you cant get a firm answer on anything where you have conflicting answers.

I am looking for the best place I can read or understand actual written Thai law.

@John ******

yes, i have been there before, approx 6 weeks in total. Have friends there and spend hundreds of hours researching Thailand in many aspects.

@John ******

if you noticed my only question was, where do people feel my best angle of attack is trying to get correct legal advice on the actual written Thai law. Thai immigration, Thai lawyer, get a Thai gov written law book and have US attorney interpret? That was the only question asked. As you can see, there is still conflicting or unknown answers to the questions I didn't ask. 😂😂
