scorecard Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Coming soon plan to send motor cycle (Honda, bigger bike) by Thai Post Chiang Mai to Pattaya. Already aware the tank needs to be empty. Any suggestions of best / easiest way to empty the tank appreciated. Also, are any members aware of any other actions needed before taking the bike to the Post Office? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGW Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Exactly what bike is it? you either need to remove drain plug - if there is one, or the fuel line to "carbs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Turns out we don't have to empty the tank, the post office take care of that and they also wrap the battery in something not flammable. All part of the service. Plus PO will pick it up at our house in Chiang Mai tomorrow and deliver it to the address given in Pattaya, and they will call in advance, about 5 to 7 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good door-to-door service. Can you tell us what size bike and what cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bigger Honda, the actual model and cost I can share tomorrow afternoon. Not many people know the Thai PO will also pack and send a whole house of furniture etc., to pretty much anywhere in Thailand, a couple of friends have used this service and been very impressed with their professionalism, their reliability etc.., plus the overall speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Never knew they did door-to-door, everyone I know thats done it had to take it to the PO and collect it from the PO the other end. Sounds like you got a great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they drain the tank wasn't discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
