TV now has a forum for Cambodia. You may have a better chance for an answer if you ask the mods to move this question onto this forum,

I sort of assumed that the move was from Chiang Mai, therefore the question was appropriate to leave in the CM forum. But since you asked about taxes in Cambodia then I will move to Cambodia forum and leave a link here in the CM forum.

We had a very good experience with Chiang Mai Removals. They are also sponsor here, so the link should be ok I hope. Give John a ring, they do international transport.
