There are two different ways to move the roll-on/Roll-off method and the container method. Both ways are acceptable but this method is the most practical. This option uses ramps to drive onto the ship and then roll it off when the ship reaches Thailand. The automobile will need to be empty except for floor mats, a jack, and a spare tire for this method. You can choose to move several or a vehicle and your personal belongings in a container. You can even fill up your auto with your belongings inside the container.
