If you contact Rachel she will give you a quote. They were good. The Thai end was handled by Mr Genechopsticks wrote:What does it cost approximately to ship goods from UK per cubic metre ?

They know how to deal with Thai customs.
The contents of every box must be itemised
Be prepared to pay tea money to the customs via their agent here. If not, they can hold all goods for checking and will charge you a daily storage rate while they do it
Mike, are you coming on a 0-A visa (Retirement)? Or is your wife a returning Thai? Either will give you some Customs privileges.MajorBloodnok wrote:Hi,
my wife and I plan to move to Hua Hin in June next year.
We intend to bring only clothes, Kitchen ware, tools, stereo, tv,
books, cds & dvds.
Who has had experience with Thai Customs, and what kind? - Good, bad?
Any useful advice?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Mike

If you use a reputable agency then I don't think the question of "Tea Money" will come into it - at least not in my experience. I transferred from the UAE to Thailand 3 months ago and used Allied Pickfords in the UAE and in Thailand (in the UK they trade under the name Team Allied). It was a first class service from beginning to end - once the goods reached Bangkok we had to provide copies of my (Thai) wifes passport to show that she had been living outside Thailand for more than a year to claim exemption from Thai import duties. The goods were cleared within 5 days of arrival and got to HH the next day, we didnt pay a single baht and there was no evidence of any of the boxes had been opened.
I am sure it wont be so easy if neither of you are a Thai national, but I do believe that choosing a reputable agency is the best step in the process.

So if you registered a car in your wife's name would that be taxed exempt too.

many thanks for your valuable advice.
I have already contacted a German company with lots of international experience, including Thailand.
So my wife and I, we are both German citizens.
We plan to stay on a "Retirement visa".
Thanks again, and Kind regards,
Mike
