I have to import some personal effects (maybe a quarter of a 20 foot container) from UK (SE port) to Laem Chabang. Can any readers give advice if this is better arranged from Thailand or UK, and if so recommend any particular shippers.

Meuk,

Depends, You can arrange at both ends, Best to prepay your move. If you need your P/FX in a hurry i would suggest airfreight. However if it is too large for airfreight and you are prepared to wait upto 1 month for shipment time then i would say shipping them is your cheapest option. I wouldn't go to a container line direct as they tend only to deal with the full loads, I would use an International Forwarder who will handle the full monty for your door to door !! These guys would do the booking/packing/delivery even prepare the Bill of Lading for you, There are thousands of fwdrs who have offices in Thailand & UK, I work for the 2nd biggest shipping line in the world P&O Nedlloyd and we do have a Logisitics division who could arrange this move for you, We would ship from Southampton to either Bangkok or Laem Chabang, Website is www.ponl.com and look for ponl Global Logistics, However you should shop around try people like Schenker/Panalpina/Kuehne & Nagel/ Atlantic forwarding who all will have divisions in BKK. These guys would use a host of shipping lines and will shop around to get the best price for you.

Chok Dii !!

Asian Tigers in BKK was first class. Couldn't do shit for us in Vietnam ( used Vinatrans, way way way better), but moving from samui to New York, it was great.

Good Luck
