| The problem isn't how to physically get it here - it's the legalities and the taxes that make it difficult in Thailand.
For motorcycles, as an example, it's about a 300% surcharge on the declared value of the imported bike. Then people got clever. They would disassemble the bike in its country of origin and ship it as parts; then assemble it again in country.
Then the customs department got wise to that, and now they levy the same 300% on parts. Cars have a similar rate.
