In recent times, Sea transport is the best means of transporting goods internationally. It is the most efficient way to send parcels overseas with Thai post (ส่งพัสดุไปต่างประเทศไปรษณีย์ไทย, which is the term in Thai). Containers of different sizes go through the sea yearly because transport by the sea offers the best while shipping goods overseas. It is also suitable for transporting loads of bulky goods. The bit of a disadvantage is that it is a slow means of transportation which is why is advisable to send non-perishable goods with this means.

This means is expensive but the good part is that it’s the fastest means of transport. It is also a means of transporting goods that would be difficult when you might want to send your goods by sea or rail. The air transport is not usually suitable for bulky goods but just for light-weighted goods. It is convenient when you need to send parcels to Korea (ส่งพัสดุไปเกาหลี, which is the term in Thai) and many other countries dependent on imported goods. Unlike sea transport, you can send perishable goods with this means due to its quickness in delivery.
