Moving Sisaket To Chiang Mai, Best Option ?

[Claedeus]

Hi guys, i'm in Khunhan right now (a small city near Sisaket) and i will have to go to Chiang Mai for a year and i need to take some things from my current appartement :

- a plasma TV 42"

- a big table (dismantable)

So, what should i do ? do you think i can go by bus and put all this in it ? i dont mind paying more than the price for that kind of service btw.

Some thai friend told me that i will probably have to take the train if i want keep everything, and that i would need to go to BKK first and then go to CM ... would be a 25 hours journey i would like to avoid lol.

I think you can forget the bus. Train is an option, and you can change to CM line in Khorat.

Rent a private transport (pick up) will be next choice, but more expensive?

Bergen, the change to the Northern line would be in Ayuttaya.

Sorry, yes of course I was getting it mixed up with the Nong Khai line. :jap:

If I were in your situation, I'd hire a friend with a truck who needs to make a quick buck and pay him 1,000b plus gas and food. It's faster, safer for your stuff, helps a friend out and it's a fun drive crossing Nam Nao National Park.

The thought of trying to take a table and expensive TV on a train gives me a headache.

I agree with the post above, but another option would be to send the goods by truck - there is a good truck service from Sisaket, their depot is in the first parade of shops on the right you come across when taking the Khu Khan road into Sisaket, last shops. Then you could catch the train or bus yourself.

Thx all for the answers ! any idea of the price for that service ?

Another thing, if i only take the Tv, do you think i can take a bus (nakhon chai air) ?

I've only received parcels thru the service so cannot be precise about price. However, I don't think it will be expensive as most shops, etc. in Sisaket use it. I use it to receive machine parts from various parts of Thailand and generally, it is very efficient, with next day delivery to the depot.
