Any ideas..

Two crates available in Bangkok
 

Hi Tim!

Our bikes are arriving in Bangkok on Saturday, 13th of december. We just crated a Honda Transalp and a BMW 1150 GS in Kathmandu. Paid 50$ per crate, though the agent (Mr. Ram, London Cargo) already told us that this was a bargain for us. Guess around 70$ - 80$ would be realistic these days. Well, I don't know, once we are in Bangkok we certainly don't need the crates anymore. Would one of the crates suit your bike?

Cheers, Mat

Free crate...Wahooo

Hi Guys,
My wife and I are traveling in the opposite direction to you and planing to ship out of Malaysia to India. Currently on Penang island too!
Do you have any freight forwarding contacts in KL or Port Klang, for air or sea, who could help us?
Hope you get your crates sorted.
