I had bad experience with Chinese sellers. They lie in their descriptions, they don't have the products and go shopping after they get your order, so that's why it sometimes takes forever for them to ship, then they give you BS excuses. Also, the last order of five things, the system put my billing address as shipping address although there was a default shipping address there, go figure... so now everything went to where I don't live any more and the customers service just says we are sorry, can't fix it. Another order the seller from China canceled because they figured that the product they listed and got an order for from me was actually more expensive, again obviously they didn't have it, so they simply canceled the order and I wasted over one month and my refund is nowhere to be found even after several chats with customer service. Overall not very good experience. 

I found a 33 page pricelist from logipost! They take stuff up to 200kg. Asking my gf to translate it, haha. No English version. http://file.thailandpost.com/upload/content/new55_Logispost_88390.pdf

I tried post office calculator which lets you enter max 30kg, and the price for it is 120 baht. Cheap!

999 bus goes to Koh Chang

I am moving from Bangkok to Koh Phangan and I am searching for small moves, or shipping within Thailand but however I word it, I just get shipping to Thailand. What is the cheapest way to ship larger boxes, a table, chair, foam and shelves taken apart? I bough bulky stuff on Lazada and shipping was very low, so I am guessing I could ship for cheap myself.

Do you want methanol (wood alcohol) or denatured alcohol (ethanol with poison added so as to make it undrinkable)?

If it's the latter, it's available at any pharmacy. Thai rubbing alcohol is ethanol, the same alcohol as in whiskey, not isopropyl alcohol as is found in the US.

Look for a clear bottle containing a blue fluid. 

I'll try that too. I am just using what they use at all flute factories for cleaning flute parts. They did their research to what's the best, I guess. I have no idea.

Thanks guys! I got something in a brown bottle, not much smell and it does the job, but not as potent in cleaning as the original denatured alcohol. I will try the above suggested. I only now realized what the "denatured" stands for. Basically they make it bad and toxic so you can't drink it, and hardware stores can sell it without alcohol license.

I need denatured alcohol for my work. In the US, you can find it in any hardware store, but when I ask about it here, they look at me as if I just fell from Mars. What do you call it in Thai?
