Duck is right, by all means avoid having to collect it from the port or airport yourself. You will be boiled close to the point where you might walk away from your humble possessions.

Be prepared to pay some 'tea money' unless you want your belongings to be held up by Customs for a couple of months or so- if the shipment if of any magnitude you will definitely be held to ransom in this respect. I was prepared to brazen it out with them, but with wife and kids in tow (needing toys, clothes etc) the situation was sadly more complex...

WHISPER,
just as a quick side note in case I forget when I look up the prices. If you insist in sending them yourself and picking up yourself at the air cargo here. Do it only a day or 2 before you leave as they charge you by the day for 'storage' at the shed, we sent ours the day before we departed. Also put your gf's name on everything and not a hint of your own or a farngs name, put it in thai and english both destination address as well. Then your gf can pick everything up without you around and she can claim being a student as there is apparently no tax for students returning home with personal goods etc. She may still have to apy a little something here and there to hurry things up, but nothing near what we were hit up or it would not be released.

WHISPER,
Ok heres the thing, I used 'professional freight' you will get them in the yellow pages, but it was not door to door as I told you to do, that suggestion is based on my knowledge now after going through it. I think from memory we shipped about 150/160 kilos and the cost was $412, that was them pick up at my house and deliver to port/cargo terminal Bkk. I remember asking about door to door, and it was dearer and also not many seemed to offer it. I now know the reason for it is they do not know exactly what it will cost them with all the f_cking around from the mafia. I also remember the cost apart the headf_ck, frustration and wasted day at the cargo office was around 8000baht, or they just would not release it and you would have to go back the next day to try again. That was bargained down a few thousand baht.
Do youreslf the biggest favour ever and spend a day calling around for door to door quotes and if you cannot find or are to expensive, do as I said and put all in thai name and writing and get gf to pick up, stay away yourself and claim student gear returning home etc.
Also when you ask for quotes, make sure it is clear with them it is pickup your home in Melbourne and delivered to your home in Sukhumvit. Otherwise they may just quote to airport and call it door to Bkk door, any f_cken door. Hope this helps a little.
