Orton Rd Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Tony125 said: Really? I worked for US Postal Service ( not window clerk) but after 9-11 you have to show ID if mailing a package/envelope of 16 oz that goes by air as it might contain an explosive. Mostly they just ask for ID for anything. They will not take a letter at (the widow) or deliver some letters from mail boxes if no return address. Some contained Anthrax in the past. Showing id for posting a post card or a birthday card is idiocy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the post office in Jomtien, Soi 5 as a foreigner you only show your passport when sending packages or use EMS. Never when sending an ordinary mail inside Thailand or overseas. That's not an official rule at any Thai Post office in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Much like immigration, depends on location, office,officer,time of the month etc. Rules in Thailand are there solely to be misinterpreted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me which post office asks for ID/passport when sending an domestic or outbound ordinary mail (an envelope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbrownderby Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 In five and a half years of using Thailand Post I have only been asked for ID one time, at a post office away from my home. My local post office personnel know me so I assume that is why I am never asked for ID there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I also rent a PO BOX and the sorting office staff know me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be something not allowed to send via the post office. If or when it by any reason get checked at the post terminal or at customs, they can trace it back to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
