Sea Freight Service for Handicrafts from Vietnam to Thailand

Vietnam is globally recognized for its rich tradition of handcrafted products that reflect the country’s unique cultural identity. From wooden carvings and lacquerware to bamboo, rattan, and ceramic goods, Vietnamese handicrafts have found their way into homes, galleries, and retail stores around the world. As Thailand continues to be one of Southeast Asia’s largest consumer markets for eco-friendly and decorative items, sea freight emerges as a cost-effective and reliable method for transporting handcrafted products from Vietnam.

Why Choose Sea Freight for Exporting Handicrafts?

Sea freight is especially suitable for exporters dealing with bulky, fragile, or large-volume shipments. Compared to air transport, shipping by sea significantly reduces logistics costs while still ensuring the safety and timeliness of delivery.

• Economical solution for large or heavy shipments

• Flexible options for Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL)

• Stable, frequent shipping routes connecting major Vietnamese and Thai ports

• Suitable for both one-time shipments and long-term export contracts
