Shipping gear from Bangkok to Europe
Has anyone experience to share regarding affordable way of sending gear from Bangkok to Europe?
I'm thinking about shipping home my mountain equipment because it's not needed after I visit Bangkok. It's around 5-7kg of equipment and there is no rush to send it home so it can be shipped by sea.
Any advice on where to go for reliable service in Bangkok would be appreciated.

First, where do you want to ship it? US? because if your home is in China or Europe it's not really the same.
A friend used UPS Ground or a similar service to ship from Japan to France, a good amount of things (bigger than a backpack I would say). And it was around 100 dollars, but it takes a long time to come.
I think airlines don't have that high prices, I remember seeing a $60 fee to add a big bag to cross the Atlantic. So I don't know what's your next destination, but you can think of shipping it to the place you fly from, then you take it with you on the plane. I think you have some time to pick up your shipping once it arrived (it might not be free though)
