We may understand the raiders who escaped with a load of booze.
According to NewsPapers, the excise tax ceiling for both fermented beverages such as beers and wines, and distilled beverages such as whisky and brandy, will increases to 2,000 baht per litre of 100% alcohol content. Under the current tax code, the Excise Department collects taxes on fermented beverages at a maximum rate of 100 baht per litre of 100% alcohol content or 60% of the product value, whichever is higher. It collects taxes on distilled beverages with a ceiling of 400 baht per litre of 100% alcohol content or 50% of the value, whichever is higher.

600% on imported cars ?
Who told you that ?
Cars in Thailand used to be taxed according to engine size and output, limit being 2.4L or 3L and under 220 Bhp. That's why we have the unusual engine sizes like a BMW 525i with a 2.4L engine and that's why cars with engines larger than 3.0L are very rare and expensive here.
Only country to come even close to your ridiculous claim of 600% tax on imported cars is Bangladesh.
Even if you add the COE to purchase prices in Singapore they get nowhere near 600%.
