Anyone know where I can rent a van to move some furniture & boxes, I am moving from BKK to Pattaya, have not got a lot of stuff so van without seats would do. all the rent a car places I have contacted don't have this type of vans.

Yes. How much are you wanting to pay for it though

I don't know what part of BKK you're living in, but when I moved from HH to BKK I used a pick up and driver for Baht 2,000. He picked the furniture and boxes up in HH and delivered these to the doorstep in BKK. Maybe you'll see them hanging around your neighbourhood. There's usually a sign (in Thai) hanging on the side of the pick up.
I was impressed with my driver - not a single thing was broken.
I think it's called รถกะบะ or บิ๊กอัพ

If you can speak a bit of Thai or know somebody who can, check with the Moto Taxi drivers in your neighborhood.  They know everybody and can put you on to a local driver with a covered pick-up.

Ask your TGF to arrange and pay for moving the stuff, seeing as it's all going to be hers when you have to move back in about a year.

Very funny, and most times true, but not this time, all my stuff going to my place nothing to do with a G/F, forced move because of business and not looking forward to it or Pattaya

B2000 HH to BKK - you did well on that!

B1500 for a truck central BKk just to move the heavy stuff.



I have a relative with a PICK UP truck who is free on Sundays.

Thanks ,, can not do it this Sunday, and really need a pickup with a long tray with one of the metal tops , same as the ones they use for taxi that they charge ten Bht a ride, would need two trips I think. want to do it on the 13th or 14th or 15th or 17th

[bangkokburning]

Any sunday, perhaps any day if the money is right for him.

I would expect to pay about B4000 for that honestly, minimum.

B2500 petrol up and back
B1500 standard service
B250-500 extra drive time (four hrs in a truck)

Like that...

[merlen10002]

Thanks everyone, have someone to move us now, two trucks, pickups, they have been and looked at the stuff to move, 4,000 BHT all up for both trucks.
