I hope you did all the necessary vetting to make sure it can be brought into the country. Many ebike suppliers think they can of don't even know if they can but tell you no problem when in fact they can not import the completed bike without it costing a pretty penny in customs and fees on top of the ridiculous price ($6000 to $12000) they are already asking for that bike. Also the batteries are very problematic to get shipped as they are considered hazardous material. I don't know which model you are buying but the one I could get specs on was only a 250w motor with a 36v battery that is on the weak side and they seem to be limited to 25kl/hr.
I don't see the battery on the bike if it is built in then it would be a specialized battery just for that model which limits the availability even more. Also the built in type are limited to only the stock configuration which limits your ability to go faster or farther than stock.
I tried to import a bike from china, Ali Express, first it was no problem but then the only way they could even get it into the country was in pieces and several separate shipments and they would not be able to send the battery.
I finally found a shipping company who were also in the ebike side business and I ordered a kit it arrived in 2 days the battery had to go by special shipment to Viet Nam then brought in (under the radar) by a carrier on a bus. That took 2 weeks. Then I bought a new bike locally and built my own.

Ebikes are catching on in Thailand and there are some very nice bikes and kits coming from there which may be easier to get into the country cheaply by bus.
