robbie22 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I am interested in how much everyone pays when they move from apt. to apt. in BKK? Do you use a moving service or do you get the local songtows? I am thinking about starting a service to move your stuff cheap no bothers just call and my guys are there. My last move which was not very far came to about 1100 baht that included 2 trips with the truck and 3 helpers pretty cheap I think and if i add a 300 baht service charge for my trouble just wondering if that would be equitable for everyone. Please help with some information about your moving exp. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonititan Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 When I moved, I hired a truck driver (the kind with the wire sides/roof covering the truck bed). It cost me 1000 baht (plus I think I tipped a little). It was just one guy, which was all I needed because I had friends and security guards to help carry things to the truck. I think I ended up using him for about 5 hours, which included waiting for me to have the boxes ready, carrying them down to the truck, loading it all up, one trip from downtown to the suburbs (~30 mins driving), unloading the truck, one trip down the road to pick up a sofa (~15 minutes driving), and one trip back to the new condo to unload the sofa. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramds Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I was lucky enough everything fit in a taxi. Taxi driver is a friend of my girlfriend and he was very happy with the 500 baht I gave him. He only loaded everything in the taxi and at the destination he unloaded everything. Mostly because I was unable to untangle the puzzle he created in his taxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackGrape Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 You must be a bit big crazy to ask that!! It's only cost you 1,000 baht at most. Probably better going back to your own country. Are you serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurnell Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I doubt a pick up truck and a couple of mates will suffice when an expat has 60 cubic metres and goods valued at $120,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
