How do I begin packing for a move?
Packing is one of the most important aspects of your move. It is recommended that you have the proper moving boxes. The ones you can get from supermarkets may be free but they're not nearly as strong or padded. They are more susceptible to causing damage to your valuables in transit.
Always remember that the heavier the item, the smaller the box that it should occupy. Buffer and separate fragile objects with sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. Fill in empty spaces to minimize movement during transit. Always mark the boxes containing fragile items. Here's how you can pack like a pro.
How much are you supposed to tip movers?
Tips differ depending on the size and difficulty of the move as well as the efforts put forth by the movers. An honest day's job should not go unnoticed. The average tip for local moves is 5-10% of the total bill. The average tip for long distance moves is 30 baht per hour based on the labor. It is best that you compensate each mover separately to acknowledge the hard work by everyone involved in the relocation.
