Furniture/Personal Possessions/Container From UK

[MangoKorat]

I believe I am correct in saying that I can bring my furniture/personal possessions from the UK if I have either Non O/Non B/Retirement visa and bring them in within 6 months of entry - would that be correct?  (Yes I am aware that it might not be cost effective - that's not my question).

 

On the basis that I am able to, can anyone recommend a shipper? Is it better to use a Thai or UK shipper and has anyone got any (recent) ideas on the price of a container? I'm happy to pack myself and take to the UK port + pick up from the Thai port.

 

The quotes I've had so far from UK shippers are all vastly different - I mean thousands of pounds different.

Only use a forwarder that has an actual office in Thailand. 

 

Getting freight out of a country is easy, getting it in is more difficult.

Welcome yourself to world of pain.

Here is old thread that has good OP with links.

Will move this thread. Not visa related.
