@Andy *******
i have been there twice, 3 weeks each time. While not there, I have spent hundreds of hours researching laws, the government, Thai real estate pricing, Buddism, the different regions and studied Google maps and walked towns extensively with street view. Was dating a gal for a few months from there, and have quite a few Thai friends, both foreign and Thai national. I assure you, my desire to move there is not off the cuff or uneducated.

The question that was asked was, where is the best place I can go to get correct and reliable information on these topics. I am planning to come back for 3-4 weeks in Jan and will set up an appointment with Thai immigration and let them know my questions. I really just need to get my hands on a government written law book and if it is confusing, find someone reliable to interpret it for me.

the Camaro is now full frame though. So body could be brought in separate, then frame, then drivetrain. I suppose the other one could too.

the cars in question are one off hand built. Can't just replace unfortunately. Import taxes may be worth it for me.

i have no interest in any foul play. Want things 100% legit. That's the reason for the post. If anyone has any idea where I can find out the laws, written on gov paperwork and someone that can in depth explain them to make sure i am aware of any potential liabilities. If it ends up being too much risk to live there, then I won't.

the 2 vehicles i am concerned about is a 67 camaro that is basically a shell unassembled, and a high end hand built car. It has not even been titled yet, so may loosely fit under new.

I have been building cars for 35 years and own a fab business. After seeing some of the amazing work from some Thai fabricators with basic tools, it seems like a great place to set up shop and design an exportable assembled/kit type car creating jobs and putting Thailand on the map for a high performance vehicle. Gov would obviously need to be involved at some level. They will either love the idea, or hate it. Looking to set up near Bira outside of Pattaya.

i have been hearing of an option lately that is like $1m usd, and then can own land. Probably heard it in this group? Now you see why I am not relying on asking online and seeking knowledgeable advice. Haha. So many contradictory answers.
