How to prepare sports equipment and musical instruments to ship to Thailand
Are you heading off on an adventure holiday? Thailand is an ideal destination for outdoor sports thanks to its mixed terrain and sunny climate! As well as excess baggage, you can send golf bags, bikes, surfboards, and more. From mountain biking along scenic routes in Chiang Mai to surfing gorgeous blue waves, visitors travel worldwide to Thailand for the pleasure.

I have used Seven Seas Worldwide for baggage shipping to and from Thailand. The delivery service from both ends was first class. I have shipped with other companies in the past and always had to deal with hidden costs that weren't included in the price. With Seven Seas Worldwide, there were no such issues. The communication was excellent, and my luggage shipment arrived without damage.
