Renting Moving Truck

[roco]

Hi, We are wanting to send furniture, decor etc from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin. THe shipping companies in Ban Twai & area all charge $15,000 to ship by truck plus $15,000 for 'packing'.

The packing charge seems outrageous and we are trying to find out how people move things within Thailand if you need something larger than a pickup rental. We are looking to rent, hire, a company or person or drive ourselves and rent the vehicle. Also, not sure how sending by freight train works, so if anyone has any info or can link us up, that would be fantastic. cheers

Are you sure that isn't 15,000 baht? Not dollars ($)

30,000 baht to move an entire household 800 kilometers, and they come and pack up the house for you? Sounds reasonable in my book....
