95% of expats either are not members or do not use forums. On the on the other side you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink. I'm still laughing my arse off over this stupidity...LMAO1LMAO1
 
Presumably he bought them at the border ?

I have heard of others doing the same and being followed - one guy pulled at Prakhonchai traffic lights.

Som nom nar for him - one guy and 7 cartons. It should have cost him 56,100. If his wife was with him 46,750.

That is 850 Baht duty + 10x duty 8,500 = 9350 Baht per carton.

In my case 5 adults left the weekend Cambodian market with one carton each. My naivety was getting stopped with 2 adults in the car and 5 cartons. Should have cost 3 x 9,350 = 28,050 Baht, The missus managed to get it down to under 15,000 Baht..... and she got a receipt!
 
Bought at the border.............3 in the vehicle............7 cartons of Wonder Green...........
Rumour is he used to be a bank manager too!!:eek:ThumbUp6:rolleyes:

They are a soft target for 'scams' by Customs & excise.

The guy that Nookie is referring to bought the cigarettes IN Thailand, he did not import them. The issue is that they were not duty paid and he was probably grassed up by the person who sold them (who will be on a commission from C & E).

I thought I was OK with 5 adults taking 1 carton each into Thailand. My problem was being in possession of too many cartons and not enough adults when I got 'pulled'.
