Tried it and it crashed out when taking payment with a worrpress error..

Will try again during the week

I found this site

https://thaiprepaidcard.com/product/360-day-mobile-phone-validity/

has anyone any experience of using them?

My True Move Sim will expire in December.

It is here with me in the UK and I do not have roaming.

I will not be back to Thailand for a long time........

How can I extend its validity from outside Thailand?

No, there is a fixed fee of around US$30 per transfer. That is all fees charged by both banks.

I bank with Barclays UK and they charge like a wounded bull.

If you use Transferwise  you will save a lot of money in fees.

If you use the link below you will get a fee free transfer up to the equivalent of 500 UK pounds

Why not just use Lazada for something similar?

I can buy 1 kg bags on Lazada

Does anyone know of another online retailer who offers them?

Thanks in advance

Thees a whole road in Bangkok that is devoted to selling these and used office furniture, but sorry I cant find the address!

Do a search on google & here, then drive down with a truck

How much did you pay for an implant with Dr Chirasak?

if time is not an issue then send them by surface mail and registered - it will take about 10 weeks,

If not use airmail small packet

also just turn the boxes inside out and use them as the packing so no need to buy the extra boxes and pay for the extra weight

I used to ship Converse shoes worldwide in this manner in 2005 (but by airmail then)

I think it depends where you live.

Are you in Bangkok? If not it might be a charge per province.

I have noticed the same on Lazada, advertises free shipping but once I log in with Buriram address on goes the shipping charge

Mail to the UK is getting through fine

Just send it to :

Jersey

Channel Islands

UK

Will get there

Thanks for your replies.

I will probably be sending more than £500 and this will go straight into my wife's account.  Therefore from the examples

above it would suggest that WU is my best bet ??

I will have to start checking TW and WU exchange rates 

 

Thanks for everybodies input 

 

regards  

If you use the link you will get the fee to 500 fee free and just pay a little on the excess you are sending

My wife orders a lot from here, both from China and locally.

She always chooses COD - Cash on Delivery

Some sellers just never send goods if they have no stock, by paying COD you never have the hassle of waiting for a refund.

She runs a shop so there is always someone around to take deliveries though

Use this address  and you will receive a fee free transfer for up to 500 UK pounds

Used transferwise since they started sending to Thailand and have never had a problem

A package I sent to myself by surface mail  on the 3rd of April, arrived today in Scotland.

7 weeks, so pleased with Thailand Post service

Post Office mail relies largely on passenger airlines of which there are few in/out of Thailand. Cargo/couriers have there own flights.

 

Other countries may be using multiple destinations to get it here and trying harder, than Thai post does to get it out of here thats for sure.

 

I wouldnt mind betting there is a mountain of paid for parcels sitting in swamppy on hold ! 

I would bet there actually are very few- all were returned to the sending post offices at start of April where the sender could choose wether to send surface if available for that country.

I know as we has about 200 packages returned that we had to resend!

Airmail was accepted today for korea, singapore and russia

@croftrobin Could I have the link to the page from where you've gotten this information? Is it Thailand Post Website? Thank you.

They have reverted to the old information page, as my wife tried to send to Singapore on Monday morning and could not

The page is here. They update it when there is new imfo:

I hope from UK soon still waiting my new passport.

Mail from the UK to Thailand is open again

See here on Royal Mail site:

https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5317

Thailand Post have updated their postal information:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OGkBLRXkgaOuA-x2N-I2fLe0faBrUXeu/view

Airmail is now available to Singapore, South Korea, Bhutan, China, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland

Hopefully some more will be added early next month

So the borders of Australia are closed, no imports there at all? No food or goods?

How come airmail from the UK is getting there?

Surface mail is not available to Australia. I wonder why this is?

It is available to

UK
USA
Canada
and

some of Europe

Belgium
Denmark
Germany
Ireland
Italy
Netherlands
Norway
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland

strange how its an island not as far as some of the other destinations and there must be trade between the 2 countries

Still surface mail only

I have looked at the sheet from Thailand Post and its not listed.

Friends in the UK say that they can still send to Australia, and the Royal Mail daily international incident site reflects this:

Anyone posted anything to Australia by Surface Mail is the last few days?

Just bring a cafetierre and some decent ground coffee. Save your money buying Nespresso rubbish
