Cultural notes
Thai moving services (Cheap Cheap Moving, Siam Relocation, lalamove for smaller loads) quote a flat or hourly rate that covers labour. Tipping is not mandatory but is genuinely appreciated; ฿100–200 per worker for a standard apartment move, ฿300–500 per worker for big jobs, stairs, or hot-day overtime. Providing cold water, soft drinks, or lunch is equally welcome.
Frequently asked questions
Cash to the crew lead or each person?
Each person directly — that way it does not get distributed unevenly.
Drink/food instead of cash?
Both is best. Cash plus cold drinks.
