darrendsd Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Not sure if this is what you are looking for but the Post Office rates are reasonable. 5200 baht for 25kg by sea mail, only problem is you need to pack it and take it to the PO yourself.

UKJASE Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 i was approached by a guy at chatachuk market about 4 months ago, and he said i could send one cubic meter, up to 500kg for about 5000B i think it was he gave me a flier which i cud dig out if your'e interested...... obviously it was by sea, and take about 1 month or so, but best rate i have seen here not sure if you have to get everything to bangkok, but sure that wont be too hard to arrange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhfarang Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 As far as I know all the international moving companies are located in Bangkok. We used one to move the other direction from the U.S. to Hua Hin and they in partnership with an American company moved a full 40 foot container door to door including packing (in the U.S.) and unpacking in Hua Hin. It wasn't cheap though. The one we used on this end was Hong Kong Transpac. Their office is located on a small soi off of Sukhumvit Soi 26. I'm sure they can do it for you but I don't know if it would be within your price range. Great service from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepanom Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi, 15 boxes is lesser then a cubic meter, they wil charge you by sea freight a minimum of a cubic meter, so you could send more for the same price, still it is the cheapest way to ship, much cheaper then by mail, by the way, hongkong transpack is a good company, so contact them.

hhfarang Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Here's a list of international shipping agents with contact information. Go to the Thailand page and you will see several including Hong Kong Transpac: Shipping Agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard moving boxes in Thailand are 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.125 cbm. x 15 = 1.875 cbm. To send it from Thailand to UK incl. the packing is not expensive. The handling in UK is the expensive part. We used abs-relocations.com twice and will use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshiremusicman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 When I moved over here from the UK I used 'Asian Tigers' at this end. they did an excellent job. I cannot recall the name of the UK agent but it was a smallish, long established company based in the London area who were excellent who tried to minimise the cost by combining two or three people moving stuff to Thailand. The total cost for a 'house load of stuff' was about £1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
