Loei is the mountain province of the upper northeast, on the Mekong where Thailand meets Laos. It is the coldest province in the country and the only one where frost is reported most winters, which makes it unlike anywhere else in Isaan.
Shipments land at Laem Chabang and clear Thai customs there. The road leg is roughly 700 kilometres, about ten hours. Because winters here are genuinely cold, arrivals often ship warm bedding and heaters that would be pointless anywhere else in the country.

Loei's foreign residents are concentrated in Chiang Khan on the Mekong, and they are mostly people who came for the quiet and the climate rather than for work. There is also a smaller group married into families in the farming districts. Households arrive complete, and unusually for Thailand they often include winter clothing.
The cool season from November to February is why people move here, and it is also the easiest window for a delivery. The rainy season makes the mountain roads towards Phu Ruea slippery, and Chiang Khan fills for the walking street season from November, when the riverside lane is closed to vehicles in the evening.
Town addresses take a normal delivery. Chiang Khan's riverside lane is a protected wooden shophouse street where lorries cannot park close, so goods are carried the last stretch. Plots on the hill roads towards Phu Ruea and Phu Kradueng need a smaller vehicle for the final climb.
Areas the movers cover here: Mueang Loei, Chiang Khan, Phu Ruea, Wang Saphung and Dan Sai. You can add a packing service, a part pack, or storage at the UK end or the Thai end. Each is priced as an extra, so ask when you enquire.

Goods arrive at Laem Chabang and travel on by road, roughly 700 kilometres, about ten 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.
