Shipping your boat to Thailand — agents, the nearest port, and what customs expects.
Thai customs clearance plus end-to-end shipping. UTI Air & Sea Co., Ltd, Bangkok.
Recommended by a Thai OK sailor. Contact: John Lenzo.
The nearest shipping port — about 2 hours from the port to Royal Varuna Yacht Club, or 4–6 hours from Bangkok Port.
Every boat entering Thailand needs a Carnet. Maximum temporary import period is 6 months, and arrival/departure dates must fall within the Carnet's stated dates. The same number of boats that come in must go out.
The customs department only works weekdays. Normal clearance takes 3–5 working days — longer if special inspection is required.
Crane: approx. €250/day, charged per day not per container.
Container parking: free for participants, ~150m walk from the club entrance.
Packing: pack like a flight suitcase — no battery-powered tools, no flammable or dangerous chemicals. A boat repair area with power outlets is available during the event, and battery tools are easy and affordable to buy locally.
Any arrangements are carried out privately between shippers, agents and shipping companies. Neither OKDIA nor the organizing authority assume any liability.
