Moving to Cambodia
Re: Moving to Cambodia
Bike hass to be deregistered in Thailand, then you have to pay thai export tax, then you have to pay cambodian import tax. Not worth it. Buy one here.
Furniture will be taxed also. Depends how much you got. if its a lot you might be ab;e to pay an importer to bring it "with no tax" but you will have to pay his fees and it takes a fortnight as you have to wait for his uncle to be on duty at the customs post.
Dont expect accomodation to be up to thai standard. there is no becah to go to anymore, just chinatown. try it first, you really might not like it

Re: Moving to Cambodia
Ikea is KD(knock down) and cheap enough that once assembled it doesn't travel well and damages easily. It is also not really made to be taken apart which means if you did that; the second time you put it together, it might not be as tight. If I were you, I would just sell it, I doubt you would be further ahead for your troubles of the costs of moving it, than to get some new stuff.

I am suprised ikea has survived thai wildlife. What little knockdown furniture I seen here has been demolished by Khmer insect in under a yearRickyBobby wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 11:58 pmIkea is KD(knock down) and cheap enough that once assembled it doesn't travel well and damages easily.

Re: Moving to Cambodia
I don't mind it, the engineering and fasteners are clever. But a lot if it is particle board, and it is designed to be taken home, assembled and set in place, whereby it functions quite sufficiently for the price. Moving it is another matter. If you look how the fasteners are installed, and the substrates, it can easily break at the 'seams' and is almost impossible to repair. That's just my two cents on it.pczz wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 12:04 amI am surprised IKEA has survived Thai wildlife.

If you really love some of that 'stuff' better to go fetch it new and all packaged tightly and shipping it would be a breeze in comparison. What is the total value of your IKEA furniture you wish to bring? Also, a lot of the rentals here are already furnished, granted with useless stuff you would never sit on. ha ha. But solid as a brick shit-house.
