Sarasin bridge access and the villa hills above Kata: movers who cover Phuket

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.

👥 The people making this move

The shape of a typical move here

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.

Timing the move

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.

Worth knowing: Longest road leg of the island destinations. Areas covered: Mueang Phuket, Patong, Kathu, Thalang, Kamala and Rawai.
The last fifty metres

What the crew will be dealing with

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.

Have this to hand: the UK postcode, the Thai address, the type of home and its floor, any access constraint, and the date you are working towards.

🇹🇭 How it is written in Thai

How Phuket is written on a Thai delivery note

Your destination is ภูเก็ต, romanised as Phuket. The initial P is aspirated, closer to Poo-ket than Foo-ket.

On the label: put the Thai script underneath the English address. The crew loading in the UK read the English. The driver delivering in Phuket reads the Thai.

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.
