Moving to Thailand is an adventure, but let’s be honest—the logistics can be a total headache. Between navigating the “sois” (narrow streets) of Bangkok and figuring out Thai customs paperwork, it’s not exactly a DIY job. You need a team that knows the local landscape as well as the international shipping lanes.
To make your life easier, I’ve pulled together a list of the top 10 relocation experts in Thailand for 2026. These aren’t just “truck and muscle” companies; they are full-service partners who handle everything from packing your glassware to getting your pet through quarantine.
1. Allied Thailand
If you’re looking for peace of mind, Allied Thailand is the heavyweight champion. They’ve been doing this for a long time, and it shows. What I personally like about them is their “Move Coordinator” system. Instead of being bounced around a call center, you get one person who knows your name and exactly where your shipping container is located.
As a premier Allied Thailand relocation company, they benefit from a massive global network, which is a lifesaver if you’re moving from the US, Europe, or Australia. They handle the “boring but critical” stuff—like insurance and customs clearance—with a level of professionalism that’s hard to beat. If you want the gold standard where you don’t have to worry about a thing, start here.
2. Santa Fe Relocation
Santa Fe is a massive name across Asia, and their Bangkok office is top-tier. They’re great if you need more than just a mover. They actually help with “destination services,” which is fancy talk for helping you find a school for your kids or figuring out which neighborhood fits your lifestyle. They treat the move as a life transition, not just a freight job.
3. Asian Tigers Group
You’ll see their orange trucks all over Thailand. Asian Tigers is famous for their “white-glove” service. If you have expensive art, antiques, or a wine collection that needs temperature-controlled shipping, these are the folks you call. They’re meticulous, sometimes to a fault, but that’s exactly what you want when your life’s possessions are on a boat.
4. JVK International Movers
JVK is a local success story. They started right here in Thailand and have expanded across the region. Because they are “homegrown,” their local knowledge is incredible. They know the shortcuts, the local port officials, and how to get things done quickly in the Thai heat. They offer a great balance of professional international standards and local pricing.
5. Crown Relocations
Crown is the go-to for many big corporations. If your company is paying for your move, there’s a good chance they’ll hire Crown. They are incredibly organized and have a really cool “settling-in” programme. They’ll even help you find a local handyman or explain how to pay your electricity bill in Thailand—small things that make a huge difference in your first week.
6. USP Relocations
If you prefer a more personal, boutique feel, USP Relocations is fantastic. They have a huge presence in both Bangkok and Phuket. They’re known for being super responsive—you won’t wait three days for a quote. They’re a favorite for digital nomads and people who might not have a whole house to move but still want professional packing.
7. AGS Movers Thailand
AGS is part of a global giant, but their Thailand branch feels very hands-on. They are pioneers in eco-friendly moving, using recyclable packing materials which is a nice touch. Their storage facilities in Thailand are also some of the best—clean, secure, and climate-controlled, which is vital in Thailand’s humidity.
8. Siam Relocation
These guys are the “techies” of the bunch. Siam Relocation (under the DocShipper umbrella) makes the booking process feel like it belongs in the 21st century. They’re very transparent with their digital quotes and are experts at “multi-modal” shipping—combining air and sea freight to save you money without making the move take forever.
9. Eagle Movers Thailand
Eagle Movers has been around for over 40 years, so they’ve seen it all. They are a “no-nonsense” company that provides solid, reliable service. They’re particularly good at the “final mile”—reassembling your beds, hanging your pictures, and making sure you aren’t living out of boxes for a month.
10. United Relocations
United is a smaller firm that focuses heavily on customer service. They don’t treat you like a number. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the move, their team is known for being extra patient and helpful. They’re great at explaining the quirks of Thai bureaucracy in a way that actually makes sense.
A Few “Insider Tips” for Your Move
Before you sign any contracts, keep these three things in mind:
- The “In-Home” Survey: Don’t trust a quote that’s done entirely over email. A reputable company will want to see your stuff (either in person or via video) to give you an accurate price.
- Watch the Customs Rules: Thailand is strict about “duplicate electronics.” If you try to bring three brand-new TVs, customs might hit you with a massive tax. Ask your mover about this early on!
- The FIDI Stamp: Look for the FIDI/FAIM certification. It’s like a Michelin star for movers. Most of the top companies on this list have it.
Conclusion
Moving to Thailand should be about the excitement of a new culture and great food, not crying over a broken lamp or a lost crate. By choosing a partner like Allied Thailand or any of the others on this list, you’re buying yourself a lot of sleep and significantly less stress.
