What the desk actually needs from Chon Buri is proximity to a gate. An assignment appears when something has to leave Chon Buri by a deadline no freight product will promise. The question is then very simple: who is close enough to BKK to check in for the next departure. From Chon Buri that is 1 hour 2 minutes of driving, which is why the city is on the list at all.

What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Top published feeAED 2,000The highest fee the site shows for a single assignment: sealed medical samples in a cooled case, Dubai to Singapore.
Published band, per assignmentAED 900 to 2,600A document pouch to London is AED 1,200, an aircraft part to Frankfurt AED 1,500, an escorted watch on the Berlin lane AED 1,800.
What the flight costs youAED 0The desk books and pays the ticket, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never fronts the fare.
The one payment you makeAED 199, returnedThe Academy, paid once. It comes back in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. Applying itself is free.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.

How to start, in four steps
1
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
2
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
3
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
4
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
Most assignments out of BKK are confirmed hours, not days, in advance. You are given the flight, the consignee and the customs position in writing, you drive to BKK, and the ticket is already paid and issued in your name. The Gulf sector out of BKK is nonstop, so there is no connection to miss. The handover is in person, and the fee reaches your account after it.
Getting to the aircraft from Chon Buri
From the middle of Chon Buri to the departure hall at BKK is 59 km of road, 1 hour 2 minutes in normal conditions. Every timing the desk gives a courier in Chon Buri starts from that number.
At 1 hour 2 minutes the desk treats the drive as predictable rather than trivial, and the offer names the hour you should leave Chon Buri. Counting the second gate matters in Chon Buri. DMK is 1 hour 30 minutes from Chon Buri with 61 nonstop destinations, so a cancellation at BKK is an inconvenience rather than the end of the assignment.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BKK | Bangkok Suvarnabhumi | 59 km | 1 hour 2 minutes | 138 |
| DMK | Bangkok Don Mueang | 98 km | 1 hour 30 minutes | 61 |
Chon Buri is a city of 219,000 people in Chon Buri, and the clock there runs 3 hours ahead of the Emirates all year. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes.
What BKK reaches without a change
The board at BKK carries 138 nonstop destinations flown by 109 carriers. The table below is the busiest end of the BKK board, measured in average daily flights rather than in marketing.
| IATA | City | Airport | Frequency | Operators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USM | Na Thon (Ko Samui Island) | Na Thon (Ko Samui Island) Samui | about 32 departures a day | 1 operator |
| HKT | Phuket | Phuket | about 26 departures a day | 3 operators: Thai Airways |
| CNX | Chiangmai | Chiangmai Chiang Mai | about 24 departures a day | 3 operators: Thai Airways |
| HKG | Hong Kong | Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok | about 22 departures a day | 6 operators: Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Airlines |
| SIN | Singapore | Singapore Changi | about 20 departures a day | 4 operators: Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Scoot |
| TPE | Taipei | Taipei Taiwan Taoyuan | about 18 departures a day | 5 operators: Thai Airways, China Airlines, EVA Air |
| PVG | Shanghai | Shanghai Pudong | about 16 departures a day | 6 operators: Thai Airways, China Eastern, Spring Airlines |
| ICN | Seoul | Seoul Incheon | about 15 departures a day | 6 operators: Jeju Air, Asiana Airlines, Korean Air |
| CAN | Guangzhou | Guangzhou Baiyun | about 15 departures a day | 6 operators: China Eastern, China Southern, Kenya Airways |
| SGN | Ho Chi Minh City | Ho Chi Minh City Tan Son Nhat | about 14 departures a day | 5 operators: Thai Airways, China Airlines, Vietnam Airlines |
Counting every airport a courier in Chon Buri can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 145 airports. Frequencies are average daily flights and change with the season, so the desk checks the live schedule before it offers you anything.
What moves out of Chon Buri
There is no published industrial map for the BKK area on this site, and a page that made one up would be worthless. The traffic out of Chon Buri is the normal kind: documents that have to be witnessed, parts that stopped something, and samples with a clock on them.
Why a courier in Chon Buri is useful to the desk
A courier based in Chon Buri is useful to a Dubai desk for a reason that has nothing to do with Chon Buri being famous. It is that the desk can position a person at BKK inside 1 hour 2 minutes of a phone call, and BKK has somewhere to send them.
Because the desk sits in Dubai, the connection back to the Gulf decides how often Chon Buri is called. From Chon Buri the Gulf is a single sector: BKK and DXB are joined nonstop, about 6 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 6h 17m in the air over 4,900 km, and it means a consignment can leave Chon Buri in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of BKK and the other airports listed above, between Thailand and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 1 hour 2 minutes drive to BKK. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach BKK, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
Questions about the Chon Buri list
01How far is Chon Buri from BKK?
59 km, about 1 hour 2 minutes by car from Chon Buri. The desk works backwards from the bag drop at BKK, so the time it asks you to leave will look conservative and is meant to.
02What can I reach from Chon Buri without a change of aircraft?
BKK serves 138 airports nonstop across 56 countries with 109 operating carriers, and counting every gate a courier in Chon Buri can drive to, the combined nonstop board is 145 airports. That is the practical range of a single assignment from here before anybody has to connect.
03Getting from Chon Buri to the Emirates: nonstop or not?
From Chon Buri the Gulf is a single sector: BKK and DXB are joined nonstop, about 6 departures a day, flown by Emirates. That is roughly 6h 17m in the air over 4,900 km, and it means a consignment can leave Chon Buri in the evening and be in the Gulf before the next working day starts.
04Do I have to live in the UAE to be on this list?
No. OnBoard Courier is a UAE company and the desk is in Dubai, but the courier list is worldwide. Living in Chon Buri, 1 hour 2 minutes from BKK, is a qualification rather than an obstacle.
05Does it cost anything to apply?
No. There is no fee to join the Chon Buri list and no deposit of any kind. The Academy is AED 199 once, and that AED 199 is added back on top of what you are paid for your first completed assignment.
06How is my fee agreed?
The desk sends the routing, the timing and the fee for that specific assignment in writing. You accept or decline it. Nothing is deducted or charged without your written agreement.
