Buying furniture in BKK, shipping to Europe

[dick.harry77]

Hi,

Can anybody recommend a good place to buy few pieces of furniture in BKK. Will they help me to get it shipped to Europe?

Thanks

Hi,

Depending on what you want I would recommend either Jatujak market on the weekends which have a huge section of furniture and about 10 shipping companies dottedaround the market. Or I would say go to the likes of MBK And Siam.

I have tried to ship a very small sitting stool once before and never dared doing it again. It was actually so expensive and would just probably worth it, if it holds some sentimental value or you could just not find anything similar from where you live. I do not suggest that you give it a try, but if you really have to, then you are left with no choice. They measure it by its weight and its dimension, whichever would apply greater amount on the item.

if the wood is not treated correctly

it could split when settled in a different

tempreture

 

i have shipped back some items before now

and some of the woodern items split in transit

due to tempreture changes

[thecaptain]

eastern furniture is not designed for the western world due to the

wood not being treated

 

it will split in time

[thecaptain]

after a time the wood filler will start to show at the joints where they are not cut properly

and stained over

so be warned
