One of the requirements for getting the METV is "airline ticket into and out of Thailand (2) round trip". Does anyone know if the last trip must be out of Thailand, or if it can be a round trip back into Thailand?

For example:

• Europe -> BKK
• BKK -> Saigon
• Saigon -> BKK
• BKK -> Hanoi
• Hanoi -> BKK

The last leg is the one I'm asking about. Can I buy a return ticket to Thailand, or does it have to end in Hanoi?

Better if you book a place to stay in advance and use that as the address, especially if its boxes

I guess I could talk to the owner of the apartment and arrange something.

where do you plan to stay for the first few weeks, or the first few days even?

 

AirBnB or apartment for the first month. But I read that the delivery time may exceed four weeks for a standard mail parcel.

Why bother.

Because there isn't any other good alternative. Extra baggage with Thai Airways costs 44 GBP per kg. DHL is also too expensive. I don't have enough stuff to fill a container.

I need to send a parcel from Norway to Thailand using general mail. The problem is that I don't yet have a permanent address in Thailand. I understand that I can write Poste Restante as receiver like this, and they will keep it at the main post office in Bangkok:

Mr. John DOE
Poste Restante
General Post Office
Charoen Krung Rd.
Bangkok 10500 THAILAND

Norway post states on their webpage that there is no parcel tracking for worldwide shipping. How can I know when the parcel is ready for collection in Bangkok?
