I’ve brought that much here with no problem. Contrary to what some here say, not all brands are available and I’ve found very little choice online.

Where is Chiang Mia? I’ve never heard of it.

It’s very difficult for a Thai woman to get a tourist visa. We’ve tried two times now and my girlfriend was denied twice. She had all the docs necessary to prove she would be going back to Thailand and they refused to even look at them. Useless people who can’t even do their job.

yes, customs can be a nightmare, and not only the fee. I had a friend who ordered a bathroom scale from Amazon and customs told him it was classified as a “medical device” and he needed an import license for it.
Terry ********
Yes. But I think the product actually shipped from Hong Kong.

I’ve never done it myself but before the pandemic a friend came to visit on visa exempt. He went to get an extension and he told me they only gave him 15 more days. So, I don’t know.

You only get one extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry. I think it’s only for 15 days. If you get a 60 day tourist visa, the extension is 30 days.

technically speaking it does not remain their money. It becomes the bank’s money. The bank then owes the amount to them. In a financial crisis, they might not get the money back. If you doubt me, study what happened in Cyprus.
