Basically I just think it is ridiculously expensive to fly it from UB to Bangkok and I was looking for a cheaper option. Probably that is only via Vladivostok and South Korea by boat.
However, I did hear several people about the train cargo through China. Not first hand though (as these things go).

I doubt that the time spent preparing documentation for land freighting the bike through China would be cheaper than air freight. With the air freight quotes are you doing the crating or is someone else? its usually a lot cheaper if you do it yourself, that way you can build the crate to the exact dimensions of the bike. You should of course reduce the cubic volume as much as possible as the air freight will be based on cubic volume and weight.
Then again if you could get hold of someone who actually did the land freight and had experience in this dept then it might change things. But as it stands I don't like your chances.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
