Employee BIAS is a real thing, maybe their friend or cousin had a romantic connection with a FARANG that went sour and so now they make it their mission to pay back any Farang they cross paths with in their capacity at the bank.

Part and parcel of Living in the Kingdom, there are trade offs, good and bad. Some of the bad are quite frustrating at times.

stayed 29 days across February to March, stayed 7 weeks across end of July to early September, then 4 weeks end of November into December last year, didn’t have an issue.

It is definitely at the sole discretion of the I.O you encounter at the arrivals hall wherever you enter, but as others have mentioned, the I.O’s can see when you are keeping tourist movements as opposed to those the try to abuse the visa exempt system.

as stated in a previous REPLY, I sent the package as a gift to a friend, THEY had to pay the duty, not ME.

the recipient had to pay upon collection. I sent them to a friend that wanted the jumper as they could not buy it at a Harley dealership there.

Do you know anyone there to send your package to? Have them collect it and pay them the duty?

You are GONNA pay! I shipped a Harley jumper to a Thai friend, I put the value at what it cost, equal to 1000 Baht, when the person got the package 📦 the Customs 🛃 Service put 860 baht duty on it and would not release the package from the Post Office till duty was paid.

You may get VERY lucky as I had no issue from 2012 to 2019… but things have definitely changed.

If you want your clothing items badly, expect to pay Customs Import Tax even if they are YOUR own property. TIT.

If you plan to teach English in a school in Thailand then you need to obtain a work visa in that arena you need a relevant teaching degree; TEFL or some similar course won’t cut it. I would focus more on the DTV as it allows you more flexibility and a lot easier in your stated situation.

Best of luck.
