Might not be best in all areas though.

If you a 3G / 4G stick with the right software, such as Huawei mobile partner, then you can search for available networks to see which providers have towers around you and their signal strength.

Anyway..my question is about shipping to the UK.

It's going to be a decent quantity but I am wondering if it's possible to just take it in my suitcase and declare it in the UK and pay VAT/tax. Would I have any problems taking out of Thailand? they do that security scan on the bags when you go into check in. would it get detected?

Or better just going through a shipping company like fedex/ups and probably paying too much taxes or w/e?
You're asking whether solid metal bars will be detected by the metal detectors?

Yes you can take it in your suitcase and if the value is under x amount I'm not even sure if you have to declare it. You should be able to Google it easily. Sending silver through fed-ex is a terrible idea on many levels.

How many kgs are we talking about here?

The UK applies 15% silver duty to any silver imported to the UK.

yeah I read it went up from 15 - 17.5%. pretty steep anyway.

Think I am going to forgot about bringing bars back as i'm not even sure i'd make profit anyway so we are going to buy the bars and get the lao factory to make the products and then sell wholesale to farrang customers and possibly have a physical shop in Mukdahan.

Yeah there must be better shipping options than FEDEX. Probably easier if in BKK as there is lots of jewellery shippers there.

Next month I am just going to take back a few hundred pieces that we decide to make. I think i'll just put it in my suitcase and declare in UK customs. Would suck if I didn't declare it and got pinched and confiscated. Then worry about future shipping if they seem to be selling successfully.

Hey guys,

I was hoping you could help me out.

I posted a thread about using a VPN in an Asian country, connecting through a European one. I would really appreciate it if I could get some advice on what I should do, don't want to get my funds seized or get banned from Stars!

Im not sure why anyone would need porn here, since you can do your own almost everyday in your room, but if you do, replacing the .com by .fr or .it in the adress of your favorite website usually do the trick.

pornmaki.com works but I think you have to go direct through google to a video first and then can go back to look at the main site and navigate from there

So random.

Western supermarkets should have it. Villa Market, Foodland, Tops. I bought it at one of those before, but not sure which one.

Hey guys. I'm Evan. I've been in Thailand 10 years. Just started playing real money poker a few days ago. I might post here from time to time. Nice to meet you all.

Got a question about playing poker and traveling. I have a poker account here with my Thai address. I will play a few months here, then go to California for a month, then back home to Canada.

Can I grind, but not withdraw, from California?

When I return to Canada, can I grind and withdraw there?
