When choosing a method of transporting goods from Bangkok (Thailand) to Hanoi (Vietnam), businesses often consider two popular options: sea transport and road transport. Below is a comparison table of costs and delivery times for these two routes:
| Method | Route | Container type | Capacity | Cost (USD) | Delivery time |
| Sea route | Bangkok – Hanoi | Cont 40 feet | 60 – 65 m³ | 1.500 USD | 10 – 12 days |
| Road | Bangkok – Hanoi | Cont 45 feet | 80 – 85 m³ | 2.000 USD | 2 – 4 days |
- Comments and conclusions
- Time:
Road transport has a superior advantage in speed, helping goods from Thailand to Vietnam in just 2-4 days, significantly shortening delivery time, suitable for urgent orders or serving timely production.
- Cost:
Although road transport costs are higher than sea transport per container, given the larger capacity (80–85 m³) and significantly reduced time, this cost is considered equivalent and reasonable for businesses that need to optimize both speed and operational efficiency.
So, should you choose road or sea transport?
- • If you prioritize cost savings and flexible schedules, sea transport will be the right choice.
- • If you need fast delivery, ensure production progress or urgent orders, then road transport is the optimal solution.
