Have sent literally thousands of items from Thailand to the West since I moved here. Thailand Post Registered Mail is the cheapest and most reliable option there is. If you find this too expensive, then your business model isn't viable. You aren't going to get it for less.
You can always try wholesale shipments to established retail outlets overseas. Then you can ship container loads at more cost effective rates. But it will also take 2 months.
Otherwise you will need to concentrate on small, lightweight, high value items where the shipping cost is not prohibitive.

But then you are likely to get into export license requirements and the need to register a company, employ Thais, pay taxes, VAT hassles etc. etc.

Thanks. Yeh thats my thinking -small , light ,high value. Do you have any knowledge of the risk's when posting items, WITHOUT paying the extra 65 baht 'guarantee'. I've sent personal stuff to family before with AND without paying the 65 baht extra. Not had a problem so far, but have only sent a few bits-on an ongoing basis do you think theres significant risk of stuff getting lost if i dont pay it? any experiences with that?
Thanks.

Every year, about 100,000 guys decide to support themselves in Thailand by exporting whatever back home.(In 2006, I was number 72,659 for that year) Of that number, probably 10 actually succeed; shipping, along with distribution and actually finding a market for whatever being a huge impediment.
Thai Post is actually very dependable and is one of the less expensive methods.

you guys are nuts if you think a solo "terrorist" with a couple pipe bombs is the intel the US was warning about. teens make pipe bombs in the US and bring them to school. if anything this was a CIA setup to advance the war on terror. amazing how many fools still believe the hype of the war machine. even expats. sad.
