TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking recommendations for companies that can ship luggage from Thailand to the UK at reasonable prices. Comments suggest using services like Thai Post or DHL, while others recommend considering paying for extra baggage instead of shipping due to potential complications and restrictions associated with shipping.

I had previously researched doing this back to the US . Far too many restrictions on what I could put in the suitcase , no electronics , no phone accessories, no packaged snacks, no liquids , pretty much only allowed clothes . the cheapest I could find was close to $400. It was $200 for me to bring an extra suitcase on my flight . So I just ended up going that route .

All of this stuff you mention can you bring in your checked-in bags.

it depends on the airlines. I carried my electronics in my carry on . And put everything else in my checked bag. It’s best to go to the website for who you want to fly with and look at their baggage policy

most airlines have it written in the luggage rules that electronics must be in your carry on. I had forgotten one thing in the checked bag . They opened it up took it out and insisted I put it in the carry on. Never heard of an airline’s wanting you to check it and I’ve flown tons of different carriers.

DHL is exorbitant, $580 AU for a 28 kg box from Saigon to Adelaide. And they picked through and a lot of items went missing....

Just pay the extra bag fee, a lot less hassle and issues.
