SamSpades Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hello gentlemen, I need my motorbike to be towed from Pattaya to Samui. Any good services to look for, based on word of mouth or your personal experience? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidDown Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Send it through Thai Post. Contact Post Office for rates. (not expensive). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I don't think you can "tow" a motorbike, you can have it transported on a back of a pick up providing the bike will be well fastened and secured, or you can think of train transportation to the nearest point to where you wanted to get and ride it from there, I did this when I took my chopper to Laos years back.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postmaster Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Post Office...really ? Wow. Imagine taking your motorbike into a post office in the Uk or any other Western nation. I am sure mailing a motorbike there would be out of the question : staff would just laugh and say ' You nuts or what?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykopite Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Take it to your post office with your registered documents or do what I have done in the past and stick it on the train it would have to be picked up in Suratthani railway station you could then ride it down to the ferry no more than an hour buy your ticket at the ferry it's as easy as that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my PCX from Udon Thani to Pattaya 4 days 2500 baht and they wrap it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray23 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yep it works just fine, big or small bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpharma Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 All above mentioned is the best sollution: by Post!!! Make sure indeed that fuel tank is almost empty, take of the mirrors and try to "pack" the vehicle so that everytihing still remains "intact"...It might be handled not that gently.... Good Luck!

shaurene Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Why not hire a pickup and take it your self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Yellow Bus co. North Pattaya Road might be able to fit a small bike into their twice daily run Patts ---> Sam. Prolly much cheaper than Post. If you absolutely want it towed, get a strong piece of rope and tie on. Yippee!

joespnet Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Here's one I saw outside a post office in Chiang Mai last month all wrapped up and waiting to be mailed somewhere. Great service! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
