About Bangkok

The Bangkok river port at Khlong Toei sits on the Chao Phraya inside the city and takes only smaller vessels, so it is served by feeders rather than direct deep-sea calls. It remains useful for cargo destined to Bangkok itself, where it saves the road leg from Laem Chabang. For anything bound for the Eastern Seaboard it is the wrong choice.

First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Bangkok — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 2935 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Thailand lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
