Khon Kaen is the main city of the northeast and the region's university and hospital centre. Many UK arrivals here have married into a Thai family or teach at the university.
Shipments land at Laem Chabang and clear Thai customs there. The road leg is roughly 500 kilometres, about seven hours. The route in is Highway 2, the Mittraphap road, which is dual carriageway most of the way and makes this the easiest of the Isaan deliveries.
One vetted FIDI FAIM certified moving company. No charge, no obligation.
Two groups dominate: academics and medical staff connected to the university and the teaching hospital, and men who have married into Thai families in the surrounding districts. The first group often ships books and office equipment. The second usually ships a full household into a family home.
Highway 2 is dual carriageway most of the way, so weather rarely stops a delivery here. Songkran in mid April closes much of the country for a week and the road becomes dangerous, so no mover will schedule through it.
Housing is mostly single or two storey houses in gated estates, with wide access. Village houses outside the ring road can sit down a soi too narrow for a lorry, so the mover shuttles the load in. Older family homes may have a raised ground floor.
Areas the movers cover here: Mueang Khon Kaen, Ban Phai, Nam Phong and Chum Phae. Packing materials, a packing crew and storage in either country are separate line items rather than part of the base price.
Your destination is ขอนแก่น, romanised as Khon Kaen. Sometimes written Khonkaen as one word.
Mueang Khon Kaen, Ban Phai, Nam Phong and Chum Phae. Addresses outside those are still collected: the firm delivers across the province and smaller places are served off the nearest run.
Udon Thani, Roi Et, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani. Still choosing between two of these? Say so and ask for the difference in the quote.
Goods arrive at Laem Chabang and travel on by road, roughly 500 kilometres, about seven hours. Sea transit runs about six to twelve weeks door to door before that road leg starts.

We are not a removal company. Tell us what you are sending and where it is going, and one vetted moving company from the AGM Group network, agm.group, takes it from there. Their movers and packers survey the house, wrap the goods and load the container, and the same firm handles the relocation paperwork and the clearance in Thailand. That company holds FIDI FAIM certification. One firm, one quote, one point of contact, from the UK collection through to the shipping and the delivery.
