bbko Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The wife and I once shipped a water tank that we weren't using up to the in-laws in Issan via a moving truck. The old guy came over, we loaded the tank in the back of his truck and away he went, it arrived a few days later as he had other deliveries to pick-up/drop off. The wife found them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TruckMoveThailandService/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saanim Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Actually, the Kerry should do it, no need to scare them by something they do not know. Important is to tell them dimension and weight. If not Kerry, there are many others, just to ask people who know what is available in your locality. One of the biggest is Nim See Sang, travelling to most of province towns, taking any bulk. Another is Buntaman. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post warrima Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 The Post Office will. As soon as the Mrs thinks ive forgotten we have something - she ships it off to Isaan. Been all sorts over the years from fridges to sofas. Last casualty was my 49" tv from the bedroom. Says we never use it - off it went before i could say but.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Does it fit in the back of a pickup truck so that the doors can still be closed? If it doesn't fit, then that's obviously the main problem for the companies. Maybe the post office offers a post office to post office service, like they do for motorbikes, this would then come with a bigger truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Lots of good replies here, but just as an option I bet you could get a song tao driver to strap it down and make the trip. We stopped a song tao on Suk in Pattaya once and asked him to take us to Koh Chang and he smiled, told us the fare and off we went, all the way to the ferry with no issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adumbration Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Kerry will not take it. I have ordered an outboard motor online and the only delivery option was DHL bulk goods. You can try them. As a genuine alternative, I will paddle the kayak from Pattaya to Trat myself if you pay 100,000 baht to an orphanage here in my village. The trip will be covered here on a dedicated thread to maintain transparency. And no I am not kidding... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpoint Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I once bought a 4m two seater. The company put it in the luggage compartment under a bus and I collected it from the local bus station. Not door to door, but ok if you have a pickup truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamSmits Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I bought a double kayak in Phuket and shipped to isaan recently. It was over 6 meter long, kerry and most others refused. We found some friends with haulage trucks that took it. First one to bkk, another up to isaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbox Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The Thai rail will ship long objects but there are no railway services in this area. Very interested whether you can manage to move it in the end. I'm going with a kayak from Samui to Ko Chang later next year, but I have a foldable kayak which the buses and the trains take.
