Comments: 

From Harald and Udo Lamers, the 'Bike Brothers'

We flew with Thai Air and the bikes have to be crated.
Crate size one bike: 181*60*102 cm.
Weight one bike: 226 kg.
Four aluminum boxes as separate cargo: 81 kg.
Prices: <500 kg is US$ 1.37/kg ; >500 kg US$ 1.07/kg.

We paid for two bikes: 2 * 226 kg + 81 kg = 533 kg. 533 kg * 1.07 = US$ 570.
Other costs (handling, clearing, airwaybill, customduty and crating) for two bikes: US$ 180. Total for two bikes: US$ 750.

Personal oneway ticket: US$ 220 (Thai air)

At Bangkok cargo we paid 500 Baht / bike =(US$ 12) for security handling charge and delivery order fee.

note: at the cargo termimal in bangkok some smart guys come to help you and they "charge" a lot of money. (in our case they want US$ 140). Ignore these guys and go to the Custom information office. They will help you and show you the offices where to go.
