Shipping - SE Asia from the UK
 

Hello,

I'm planning a 3-6 month revisit to Thailand around April next year and was
pondering on the thought of shipping my motorbike from England over there.

Right here come the questions http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif

Has anyone done this before? (I'm sure someone has).

I've been told not to even consider shipping it directly to Thailand as,
apparently, its a right nightmare with customs and the paperwork etc. is
this stricly true?

If shipping directly to Thailand is a long and winded affair should I then
ship it to either Malaysia or Singapore and then head North to a legal
border crossing into Thailand?

Does anyone know of a good shipping agent that could give me an idea on
costs etc.

Thanks for your time in advance,

Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
I reecently shipped my bike to Australia and back from London. In both cases the bike went via Singapore so it looks like that is a "normal" route, and I certainly had no problems. I don't know about Customs in Singapore but what happens when you cross the border into Thailand ?? Will you still have a problem ? I guess at least you will have your bike underneath you rather than sitting on a dock !
The shipper I used is based in East London and is called Cutler Freight. Their phone No is: 020 8301 6626
