Hi there,
I'll be moving from Sydney Australia to Chiang Mai in Sept 2018 and would appreciate any advice anyone can provide to me in relation to:

1) Can anyone recommend any relocation companies? I'll be selling most items here in Sydney and buying new items in Chiang Mai so I will mostly be bringing personal items, books and small objects. The quantity amounts to approx 10 tea chests and 10 cartons. I've had two quotes which have both quoted 'crazy' $.

2) I am looking for somewhere in Chiang Mai where I can store these when they arrive (April 2018). The only storage company I could find was Chiang Mai Storage but they have an open warehouse system where your goods are piled in with everyone else's. I am looking for storage where my items are enclosed and separate from everyone else's.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Regards
Charlie

I know of a guy named Allen Dick, who is living in Chiang Mai. He's an Aussie. I believe that he's lived here for several years and had the business in Australia. The name is siammovemagament.com. I know him casually but I don't have first hand experience with his service.
