If you want to ship some things out of Thailand which would be excess baggage on a plane, what are the options ?

If you look at 25kg, 50kg etc. what are the best ideas for say another SE Asia country or Europe ?

Also, how do you get it ? Does it come to an address or is it held somewhere ?

I need some ideas please.

There are a couple of excess baggage companies near the check-in desks. They are quite a bit more expensive than using EMS government mail....so instead walk to one end of the airport on the same floor and find the Post Office, fill a box with 20kg worth of clothes etc. for 8500 baht-ish and it will get to your door in UK in 3 working days, no hassle. For other weights and countries check the thailandpost website. If over 20kg, more than 1 box will be needed (max 1 box is 20kg).

Yes, Thailand Post is the way to go. Many tourists ship all kinds of things with Thai Post: saw one lady placing a bamboo chair, amongst a lot of other odds and ends, in a box at the small postal office beside Thapae Gate in CMai; she said it was about 8500 B to France. I've used their trucks to ship a m/c across Thailand.

LIVE Cargo! Possibly someone can recommend an efficient, reasonably-priced shipping company to ship 4 large dogs to the east side of Canada from Chiangmai Thailand. Thai Air quoted 183,000B and I have yet to buy the air kennels which are at least 8000B each. Air Canada will provide air kennels from Europe and the USA, at about 180C$ each delivered to your home address, BUT not Thailand. I have yet to figure out how to get 4 dogs to link up to Air Canada at the Big Swampy: see their site: http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/air...ggage/pets.html

Possibly a cargo company can arrange allm\, including air kennels. Cheers

I know that there are a number of companies that will arrange for the transportation of your pets from Thailand to Canada - they will choose the route, adivise you on all the shots they'll need, organize the airlines, and at each stopover, they will arrange for someone to make sure that the dogs are transferred to the correct plane. It could be a little costly, but not a whole bunch more than you quoted above. You might want to try and buy crates for the dogs second-hand. If you transport your dogs in cargo versus the baggage area of the plane you're on - they probably will have to go into quarantine once they arrive in Canada. There is a forum here on Pets - there's lots of information there on transporting your pets.
