Furniture Removal Service In Pattaya?

[smack13]

Hi,

We are moving from a condo to a house soon and I don't want to go through the hassle again of loading up my pick up 3 or 4 times and getting the help of a few local motorbike taxi guys!

Does anyone know if a removal service exists in Pattaya? I had a quote from a BKK company the last time we moved but it would of been 15,000 THB for 3 trips and 2 hours work.

Last time I did it was a Baht Bus that I collared at the end of the road. He phoned his mate to come and help him, did 5 trips between them (not far, about 10 mins), and I didn't lift a finger all day. I agreed 500 baht beforehand, but they worked so hard for 4 or 5 hours I gave them 1,000 and they were chuffed to bits.

Sounds about the only option in Pattaya! Cheers. Just need to find an honest Baht Bus driver now

On Sukhumvit between Office Centre and the busstation of NCA, opposite Pattaya Klaang, you'll find some trucks being parked with telephone numbers on them.

They're there to serve you.

It's up 2 u, whether you only rent the truck + driver or maybe some extra hands.

A price indication: a removal of 1 condo and 1 house from the South Pattaya area to a bigger house in Chonburi City; full truck load; truck and driver; 60 kms one-way; total time 4 hours; 2004: THB 2,500 (two thousand five hundred baht).

Another example: the same truck with some household stuff from condo in Pattaya to Udon Thani City; 750 kms. one way, truck and driver; 2 days: THB 6,500 (six thousand five hundred baht).

Prices may have been increased over the last 4 years, but not more than approx. 15%. The people don't speak English, so please let a Thai take care. Go there, pay and advance an be clear in the appointments and directions.

Though he does speak a little English you'll need a Thai speaker to make arrangements. He'll come out to your place and give you a price. I've used him twice and a friend a couple of times with reasonable results. He has a crew of guys who've done it before. Open truck so check weather report.

Don't forget to dial the -8- between the -0- and the -1-!!

Do a search on this topic....there was one about a year ago...I used a firm on Sukumvit...but for the life of me can't remember their name.

It was a Thai company but I got them through a Farang O/S shipper. They did a good job with a large "open" (10 tonne?) truck and a crew of about 6 guys and gals. they provide boxes and packing materials prior to removal day.

they charged 4500 for a removal that took most of a day (one trip) and about 30 km distance.

At the Sukhumvit end of Soi Khaotalo are a couple of trucks and a sign ona tree I think which my missus reliably informs me is just such a service.

Thats right 800 baht a trip for the truck last time I moved (12 months ago) plus 200 per extra guy per trip, Still very cheap and they never broke a thing.

For those who still enjoy Songran (I used to) they are great to hire for the day with 10 or so of your best friends.
