Popular Post Joedoebarinio Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 A few years ago I was speaking to an American. He couldn’t fly anymore because of a heart problem. His trip on a cargo ship from BKK to San Francisco cost him just under $2k. I’ve traveled on a cargo ship as a passenger. The room was a bit spartan and not a lot to do. BKK to Harwich 12 days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal took a cruise via SE Asia from UK to Bangkok January 2020 but pre covid. Cruises are very popular. Have they all been cancelled. Press gangs are alive and well in Africa.

In general there are many options, but not all are going between the points mentioned by you. Two points. Thailand and Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thaifish Posted July 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2021 Retired ships Master carting Containers..We would have occasional passengers or supernumeraries as they where called. Paying just to get from A to B and that's all you got. No extra service just a room and 3 meals a day. The corona is probably scaring shipping companies now and I doubt if they would take the risk anymore. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metisdead Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 An unhelpful post has been removed. Advising people to do a Google search is not very helpful. Some other troll posts have been removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briley Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If you don't like to fly why not use a train? Except crossing Cambodia you can get anywhere in Europe - have to use a bus and river ferry in Cambodia. Of course not possible until this thingie has passed, maybe next year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
