Thailand Post to Hike Fees Again as Costs Rise
File photo Thailand Post, the nation's leading postal service provider, has announced its decision to implement a second increase in postage fees in less than two years. This change, which comes amid rising operational costs, is set to affect a wide array of postal services. Just last year, for the first time in nearly two decades, Thailand Post raised its service charges. Now, facing continued financial pressures, the organisation finds itself raising fees once more. These adjustments will impact a variety of services including envelope letters, packaged letters, registered envelope letters, printed goods, postcards, and parcels. Primarily driven by escalating fuel prices and increased wage demands, these fee hikes are part of Thailand Post's efforts to maintain financial sustainability while continuing to offer reliable service. The cost adjustments are carefully calibrated to reflect the changing economic landscape without compromising service quality. For customers regularly sending items within Thailand or internationally, these increases could mean a notable difference in expenses. For example, the cost of posting a standard letter within Thailand will see a modest rise, with charges for regular parcels seeing a more significant adjustment. To soften the blow of these new costs, Thailand Post is encouraging customers to consider its Eco Post service. This service offers a budget-friendly alternative to registered mail, providing similar tracking capabilities at a reduced price. Eco Post has been well-received by regular and business clients alike for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Converting these new rates into Thai Baht: where previously a simple parcel might have cost around 32 THB, customers may now expect to pay closer to 35 THB, depending on size and destination. International rates are subject to varying increases based on destination and weight, reflecting the additional costs of cross-border logistics. Despite these changes, Thailand Post remains dedicated to offering comprehensive postal solutions across the nation. The organisation continues to adapt to both local and global economic pressures, investing in technology and service improvements to streamline operations and enhance customer satisfaction. This measure, though essential from an operational standpoint, is likely to draw mixed reactions from the public. Frequent postal users might need to adjust their budgeting strategies, while businesses that rely heavily on postal services may explore alternative delivery methods or partners. As Thailand Post navigates these challenges, it assures customers of its commitment to transparency and timely service delivery, emphasising that these adjustments are critical for maintaining the integrity and future of postal services in the country. The company is anticipated to release further details on the specific fee changes in the coming weeks, providing ample time for customers to prepare for these new rates, reported The Nation. -- 2025-01-07 -

Fire Engulfs Building in Lopburi, Damaging Six Units
Picture from responders. A fire broke out on the morning of January 6, destroying six units of a block in the heart of Lopburi’s urban community. Residents scrambled to save belongings and pets as flames consumed the two-storey structures, with damages estimated in the millions of baht. At approximately 09:10, Lopburi City Police Station received reports of a fire at an apartment block in the Khao Sam Yot community, located in Khao Sam Yot Subdistrict, Mueang Lopburi District. Thirteen fire engines from neighbouring areas were dispatched to the scene. The affected structure consisted of 10 units, built decades ago with a mix of concrete and wood. After nearly an hour of firefighting efforts, authorities successfully brought the blaze under control. However, six units were completely destroyed. Among the units, half were leased by a single tenant, 40-year-old Mr. Polwat, who used them for a furniture business. The remaining units were residential properties rented by other tenants. Eyewitnesses reported that the fire appeared to originate on the second floor of unit seven and rapidly spread to adjacent units. At the time of the incident, the affected units were unoccupied, allowing neighbours to assist in evacuating belongings and several caged dogs to safety. Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported. Authorities suspect an electrical short circuit to be the cause of the fire but are continuing investigations to determine the exact cause. Initial estimates suggest damages could amount to millions of baht. This incident highlights the vulnerabilities of ageing structures in densely populated communities. -- 2025-01-07 -
