Hi,
I will be shipping my bike from Bangkok to the UK around that time. Currently expecting it to be about £650-750 for a solo shipment plus clearance charges in UK. I don't have the details to hand but there are a a number of agents in Bangkok who can do this.
Happy to share a container if the dates / destinations work out.

Me too
I am planning also to ship my bike to Europe from Bangkok that time. The destination may be different but I would like to go through the process with you. I should be in Bangkok in the beginning of November. So could you please keep me informed.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
Arrived Bangkok early October & bike is now on the water back to the UK.
After quite a biht of research I used KPS International (contact Nisarat at nisarat@kpsintertrade.com). Helpful team. They crated the bike for me, I decided to take the front wheel off to keep the volume (& hence cost) down. Cost including crating was 23,000 THB (about £420 or $650). On top of that there will be UK clearance & handling charges of about £395 (ouch!!) to pay when it arrives here. this is all based on a volume of 2.5m3 for my Tiger 800XC with panniers etc.
I did look into air fright but from Bangkok this is very expensive (250% more) & you get the impression nobody wants to do it. However ....
I found that Malaysian Airlines in KL are much better. You need a carnet to allow you to enter & ship from KL, but then you can airfreight direct to the UK for about £1000. I was going to do this until I found out that to get a Carnet from the UK would cost me about £700! If you already have one, I would say this is a no brainer, its a nice run into Malaysia from Bangkok, especially if you take in the Cameron Highlands.
Hope its helpful.
Cheers
