In Hang Dong or chiang mai, where can I get big boxes for packing and moving?

and is there also a moving company in Hang Dong or Chiang Mai?

Thanks

Google is your friend

Yes, try one of our Thai Visa sponsors. He has a huge array of cartons, and if you're moving with his company, he will supply the boxes, bubble wrap, paper, packaging tape all included in the quote -yes he does want the boxes back.

Yes, they speak English.

I've used John four times now. not a problem at all and good prices.

Home Pro, Post office and yes chiangmai removels as well. Biggest box at Post office around 55 Baht. Big enough for moving.

Price at home pro about same.

After having searched for boxes myself half a year ago, I would second the recommendation of going with the Thai VISA sponsor. I used them for storing some items (though at that time, I didn’t know they were a sponsor), and the price was good, no idea about their boxes though, as I used boxes bought in OfficeMate (behind Central Airport), but the dimensions of these are only 40×40×30 cm and with a nice finish (which you pay for), so more for archival purposes.

Back then I was told that you can buy used boxes from some guy in front of CMU, and I have also seen that the TNT / UPS front on Changklan Rd. has a stack of boxes, but those are shipping boxes, so not ideal for moving.

Buy some of the plastic boxes with lids (some have wheels as well). Cheap, reusable, stack in a compact manner and good for some storage until you have time or inclination to unpack them.

I got 4 very large boxes from Makro. I will need them in the future. These boxes are extremely sturdy and I'll be packing my 16" wheel folding bike in one of them. I see these boxes all the time the some of the grocery aisle. I believe they packaging delicate bottle displays.

The price is quite reasonable, "FREE".

They sell many different sizes, second hand, on the pavement on right side, just before back entrance to CMU on Suthep Road. Very good.

I have passed this vendor and many of the 2nd hand boxes have grocery labeling so they probably come from the supermarkets like Macro.

I believe that Lanna Inter-Pack may have what you need. Here is a Streetview: http://goo.gl/maps/WfBSs

The box seller, at the location described above, is still on Suthep Road as of July 2021.  Clean used boxes of all sizes--great for moving.  Bought 10 strong boxes (each 60x40x40cm) and a roll of packing tape for 350baht.   The seller is an older disabled man.  

I am moving again, and the box seller on Suthep Road is still there as of July 2025 and prices have not changed from my 2021 post.   It can be difficult to find him as he is only there in the afternoon and if it is raining, he may not be at his usual spot right outside CMU. 

 

No need to find his stall and wonder if the weather will be okay.  Best way is to contact him on 085 714 1878 (LINE: same number).  His home is located very close to Suthep road.  You can message him via LINE in advance and tell him how many boxes you want, size, etc.   I told him the min size I was looking for and he found it for me.   On Google map search:  Uncle box 2 ในบ้าน or use this link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/u4xJN7W2FFFfFLwp9
