stefan2519 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 As the title suggests. What's the fastest and maybe all around best envelope document shipping service available now? DHL vs FEDEX? Or even the Thai mail? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Lou Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Courier will obviously be the fastest and most expensive. If price is factored into it, Thailand Post registered (five or six days delivery, usually) could be better depending on what you're looking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 When I lived in North Thailand, I always used Thai Post's Registered Airmail Service (NOT EMS) for letters to the UK. If I remember rightly, a red barcode label is stuck to the envelope, along with a blue "Airmail" label, and you can track right through from acceptance to delivery. At that time the cost was 80 baht and transit time up to 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it usually takes about the same amount of time. What's slowing down outward mail to the UK is that BA, who would normally carry our mail is not currently flying a direct service to BKK, so alternative carriers have to be found.
