Any way to get luggage from Pattaya to Phnom Penh?

Post by greenstripe99 »

A year ago, I left some bags in Pattaya expecting to get back a few weeks later and obviously that hasnt happened.

Now I am back in Cambodia and wondering if there is any service that would pick up and deliver to Cambodia - even the Border at Poipet... I know freight goes through even if people don't. Or any other suggestions to get it here that dont involve 2 x 2weeks of quarantine!

Will post on a Thai Forum as well.

Cheers

Do you know someone in Thailand who could finagle this for you?

I can only picture this via someone taking your bags to the border on the bus or train (Aranyaprathet) and then paying a porter, with you waiting on the other side. The person on the Thai side gives the porter a paper & your description and you hold the other part of the paper, so the porter knows you're the one.

Thanks Josh and thanks Richard - It seems like this is the only way....I'll ask my Pattaya girl to do the Thai side .. I'll have to think of something to persuade her..... hmm!

But it's the only way I think (the option of getting my Pattaya girl to bring it to one side and my Siem Reap girl to pick it up on this side probably won't work too well...)

.. but Koh Kong sounds th best option if I can see her and the porter...

Cheers.
