best country to retire


I want to ship my Honda Goldwing Motorcycle from the West Coast, USA, to Bangkok, Thailand.?

Who offers this service, how much, how long will it take, insurance. I am moving, retiring in Udon Thani, Thailand and I want to take my new Honda Goldwing Motorcycle with me.

  2. You will have to call a local freight forwarding company, such as Phoenix International, ABF, TransWorld and get a quote on having it transported for you. You will have options such as: Ocean or Air. Ocean will be cheaper if you don't have any type of time constraints, as it may take up to 30 days to get there. Be prepared to pay duties and taxes on it at the port of arrival. All fluids will need to be removed more than likely, but the freight forwarder will be able to tell you all of the regulations in transporting a motor vehicle. Good Luck and happy retirement!!
  3. this has been a while ago....but it's how I did it. I called the airline to get price and info, they were able to give me a guys name (a contractor, not an actual employee of the airline) that actually came out to my house, crated the bike, delivered to the airport (St. Louis, MO) loaded on a plane and flown to Frankfort, Germany. The whole thing cost me 700 bucks. (and that included insurance) (Be prepared for possible customs issues...the germans wanted to charge me a tax, but fortunately by being in the military i was able to get the proper forms of exemption.) From the time the guy picked it up at my house in IL, 'til I picked it up in Germany was 4 days. -it would have been only 3 days, had I known about the right customs forms to take along. That was back in '91 with a 91 GSXR-750, on TWA airlines. Quite a bit smaller than a 'wing and I'm sure alot has changed since 9/11, heck TWA is not even around anymore. But, I would start with a call to the airlines and try to reach someone in the freight dept. they should be able to get you pointed in the right direction. good luck and congrats on the retirement. p.s. i also had to remove the battery and drain all the fluids before it was picked up.
