With the growing trade demand between Vietnam and Thailand, shipping services to the “Land of the Golden Temples” have become more diverse and accessible than ever. Understanding the price list and shipping methods is crucial for businesses to plan effectively and save costs. Let’s explore the details with GoTHL to optimize your logistics strategy.
Overview of Shipping to Thailand
Thailand, known for its rich culture and as one of the world’s few remaining kingdoms, shares many climatic and geographical similarities with Vietnam. Currently ranking 9th globally and leading Southeast Asia in international tourist arrivals, Thailand is not only a tourism hub but also a modern industrial economy that preserves its traditional values.
GoTHL provides shipping services from all 63 provinces in Vietnam to Thailand via three main methods:
Road Freight Price List (Land Transportation)
Road freight is a flexible and popular choice, especially for large or bulky items. It is considered the optimal method for trade between neighboring countries like Vietnam and Thailand. However, delivery times may be affected by weather, traffic, or customs inspections at border gates.
Estimated delivery time: 2 – 5 days.
Note: Rates include general packaging, customs fees, and import duties; excluding cargo insurance.
| Weight (KG) | Freight Rate (VNĐ/KG) |
| 1 – 5 kg | Min 530,000 |
| 6 – 10 kg | 110,000 |
| 11 – 30 kg | 105,000 |
| 31 – 50 kg | 85,000 |
| 51 – 70 kg | 70,000 |
| 71 – 100 kg | 65,000 |
| 101 – 200 kg | 60,000 |
Sea Freight Price List (Ocean Freight)
Compared to other methods, sea freight allows for large-volume shipments at much more affordable rates. This is a cost-effective solution for industrial machinery, heavy equipment, and consumer goods.

| Cat Lai Port to Bangkok Port | 60/110 USD (Incl. LSS/THC) | 1 USD/CBM | 3 days |

Note: Transit times may vary between 3 – 10 days depending on vessel schedules.
Air Freight Price List
Air freight is preferred for its speed and safety. It is ideal for urgent shipments, small parcels, or high-value goods. However, costs are higher due to fuel surcharges, specialized customs services, and airport fees.
| Weight (KG) | To Bangkok (VNĐ/KG) | To Other Provinces (VNĐ/KG) |
| < 1 kg | 430,000 | 485,000 |
| 2 – 5 kg | 285,000 | 350,000 |
| 6 – 10 kg | 250,000 | 310,000 |
| 11 – 30 kg | 225,000 | 290,000 |
| 31 – 50 kg | 210,000 | 265,000 |
| 51 – 100 kg | 195,000 | 250,000 |
| 101 – 200 kg | 180,000 | 235,000 |
| 201 – 500 kg | 175,000 | 220,000 |
| > 500 kg | 160,000 | 215,000 |
