May 2, 20205 yr I recall seeing a post which mentioned that there is only outward international post and no inbound into Thailand. Is this true as I wanted to order something from abroad for delivery here. Thanks
May 2, 20205 yr Unless from China would not be ordering anything now - there is alternate service via courier and such but would be expensive and often tax payment required. There is also real possibility it will be enroute for months. Mail has been arriving with a bit longer than normal transit time.
May 2, 20205 yr I receive an order from The States and just received it 2-3 days ago and it too about two weeks, but sometimes it may take a week more. I try and ship the very cheapest method and in the smallest box. This seem to help things not get flagged and and avoid duty.

Post/shipments from China seem to be almost as fast as normal. I had several letter from USA last month taking about 3 weeks when normal would be 10-14 days. Have no experience with packages from USA.
May 2, 20205 yr I've received mail from the UK this last week that only took 2 or 3 weeks, which about normal.

Yes I received a letter yesterday that was dated 17th April. However I think that was fortunate as I saw this posted in another thread and looks like they may have stopped sending to Thailand - Royal Mail that is. https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5317/~/international-incident-bulletin Thailand - on suspension Quote Start date: 16 March 2020Latest update: 23 April 2020End date: OngoingIncident:Coronavirus Update: 23 April 2020 We're currently not sending items to Thailand as there are no available transport links. Items sent will be held and you'll experience significant delays. Original Incident: 16 March 2020 Thailand has put special measures in place from Monday 16 March, to limit the spread of Coronavirus. Thailand Post need to comply with these measures and may have reduced staff numbers so not able to deliver all mail to specifications.

May 3, 20205 yr I tried to send a letter to Europe on Friday. The postal clerk tried, but afetr cnsulting the computerscreens informed me that it was not possible to do so right now. Don't seem to have a problem with incoming international mail, but mostime that takes a minimum of 6 days to 4 weeks depending on the moon or something. Ordering from China on Lazada seems business as usual with right on time delivery.

What's the problem if it takes a few days longer?

May 4, 20205 yr I had new ATM cards sent by registered mail from Australia on 27th March, tracking number lost on way home from post office. I looked into it when they hadn't arrived after two weeks and AusPost website said (and still says) they were still sending airmail to Thailand as usual, Thailand Post website said nothing apart from no longer having to sign for any mail (to protect posties I think) and I then read that Thailand Post were holding items in some central location, for reasons I couldn't ascertain. I was resigned to having to get new cards, but wasn't willing to risk it whilst any restrictions are on. Lo and behold! Said letter turned up today, the postie rang the bell to hand it to me rather than putting in the letter box but I didn't have to sign for it. Mam always told me I was far too impatient for my own good. Be the change that you wish to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi
May 4, 20205 yr I received three letters from Singapore today 4th May Two posted 19th March, the other early April On reflection looks like mail held up SOMEWHERE in this case either Singapore or Thailand/Bangkok Just maybe Thailand has started moving the backlog
