Bowsie Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I need to move a car from Chiangmai to Bangkok. The car is a little temperamental, so I don't want to chance driving it the long journey myself. Is there any company's in Thailand that would do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaNim Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Maybe just join CarWorldClub and drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Plenty of mechanics/workshops who would check out and repair as necessary before such a journey. Not expensive. Edited July 3, 2012 by JAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowsie Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks for the advice**. The car has a problem with overheating, (It runs okay for about an hour then has to stop for 20 mins to cool down). It also has a problem with the starter -it needs a tap, every now and then to activate the battery. I have brought it several times to a mechanics to get both problems fixed, but to no avail, -as it always runs fine when I bring it to the mechanics (the jokes on me when I try to describe the problem through the language barrier). I will try again in Bangkok but the problem is getting it there. It would just be nightmare to try to drive this car the ten hour journey to Bangkok from CM. ...Unless 'CarWorldClub' would be willing to tow it 9 hours from outside CM to Bangkok ..with me in it. LOL. I hoped somebody might know of a moving service that can do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebBangkok Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Probably better you driving than someone else driving the truck which is carrying your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Check with Chiang Mai new car dealers. The car carriers all go from BKK to CNX full, but return empty. When I was looking into getting a car shipped from cnx to bkk, I was told it was about 3K. I live in Phuket and a local dealer told me it would be about 3500 baht hkt-bkk due to car carriers all going back empty. Unfortunately I don't have the name of the company in Chiang Mai, but get the Mrs to phone around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayjayjay Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 PM me if you need a transport co. I have brought a car too CM from BKK for 6500 baht about 2 years ago, but you should be able to send one there for about 8k now. That would be my guess. If that's not interesting I suggest you go to Nim See Seng in Far Harm area and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
