That comes under the label of 'Temporary Import'. You are allowed to use it in Thailand for a limited time (I think it's 90 days but I could be wrong). After that time it must be 'exported' out of the country.

Great, that would work perfectly for those of us who have to do 90 border runs. :laugh: :thumb: :laugh:

"There's no plausible or convincing reason, certainly no evidential one, to believe that there is such an entity (= deity) and that all observable phenomena, including the cosmological ones... are explicable without the hypothesis; you don't need the assumption."

I suppose what it comes down to is protectionism, even if more imported vehicles meant more jobs it would not benefit the major powers who control the Thai vehicle market.
Buying a pick, while very popular for Americans and Australians is not for me, tradies can keep them.
