Phuket is the largest island and the busiest western destination in the south. It is joined to the mainland by the Sarasin bridge, so goods arrive by road rather than by ferry.
Shipments land at Laem Chabang and clear Thai customs there. The road leg is roughly 1050 kilometres, about fourteen hours. The Sarasin bridge is the only road on and off the island, and it does close in severe weather, which is worth knowing if your delivery date is tight.
One vetted FIDI FAIM certified moving company. No charge, no obligation.
Phuket takes retirees, business owners running tourism or property ventures, and a growing group of remote workers. It also has the highest proportion of large villa moves in Thailand, which means full containers and occasionally two. Marine insurance is worth more attention here than anywhere else because of the value being shipped.
High season runs November to April and the island roads are congested throughout it. Low season brings heavy Andaman rain from May to October, which makes hillside approaches slippery for a loaded lorry. Late October and early November is the practical window.
Coastal condominiums at Patong, Kamala and Bang Tao take a normal delivery with a booked lift. Hillside villas above Kata, Karon and Layan sit on steep narrow approaches where a full lorry cannot turn, so a smaller vehicle does the last leg. Send photos of the approach if you are on a hill.
Areas the movers cover here: Mueang Phuket, Patong, Kathu, Thalang, Kamala and Rawai. Full packing, a part packing service and storage at either end are priced on their own. Say up front if you want any of them.
Your destination is ภูเก็ต, romanised as Phuket. The initial P is aspirated, closer to Poo-ket than Foo-ket.
Mueang Phuket, Patong, Kathu, Thalang, Kamala and Rawai. Addresses outside those are still collected: the firm delivers across the province and smaller places are served off the nearest run.
Krabi, Koh Lanta, Surat Thani, Songkhla. 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 1050 kilometres, about fourteen hours. Sea transit runs about six to twelve weeks door to door before that road leg starts.

Free to use. No obligation. Over 850,000 enquiries handled since 2010.
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.
