midas Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 A number of people on this forum must have moved apartment at some stage in the past .....? So I just wondered if anyone could recommend a company or individual with a pick up or van with driver to move just a few boxes from Sukhumvit Road area to Sathorn Road area - a very short distance ? The big removalist companies have been quite snooty about it and virtually said they're not really interested in local moves-only international ! One or two of them simply provided outrageous quotations in a more diplomatic effort to turn down my request for their services. So I thought stuff them ! There is no furniture involved - just packed up boxes ready to go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Flag down an estate car / stationwagon taxi, or just approach any guy with a pickup. Mai mee pan-hah, na khrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Try a tuk-tuk. I've seen MC's strapped to the back of them. Boxes should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Yeah, just use a tuk tuk, Midas, if the boxes are already packed-up. Failing that, why don't you hire a 'Budget' pick-up for the day? They should deliver and it's only about 1,200 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. In the end someone else suggested i contact a hotel near to where i will be moving and ask them if they have a vehicle and driver - which i did and the concierge was more than happy to help ( i know he will get a small cut - but who cares ? ) - as it is - it has turned out much cheaper than a removalist company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedKelly Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 A songthaew is great for this sort of thing. You can just approach some guy outside a shop as they usually will be doing paid deliveries for the shop. The tuk tuk option is ok......I did a fridge from Chinatown to Nonthaburi one day ......it was hanging off the back drop tray......what a laugh it was...people were waving at me the whole way. That cost 300 baht and he earned every bit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 I forgot about those ! Are " Songthaew`s " those red coloured pick up trucks which serve as small mini - buses like they have in Pattaya ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
