Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance

[robbie22]

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.

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!

There didn't seem to be many moving .co's a while ago, seems to be a few around nowadays though.

Perhaps u could enquire about prices direct with them..

I paid some bloke with a pick-up 800 baht. I moved about 12kms from my old place to new. Took about 3 hours. Single trip. This was about a year ago.

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

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?

If I ever had my life in a taxi, shoot me. That's not a life

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

500 baht trunk and driver
