Mail / Postal service, domestic and international mail from Bangkok.

[Fortean1]

So far my mail service in January and February has resulted in no mail to me here a few miles south of Hua Hin.

I am missing two monthly issues of the British magazine, Fortean Times; one Christmas mailing from Stacey S.

who lives in my hometown of Evansville, Indiana; and one tax document (1099R) from the U.S. Army.  Also, bills

from NT (internet and landline phone) and True Visions (television only) have not shown up.

 

After 16 years of relatively good mail service it seems there is a glitch in the matrix.  That magazine is usually

two or three weeks late.  A few times I have received two issues on the same day.

 

I welcome any comments on similar or worse mail service.

I received a Christmas card here in Bangkok during the second week of February that was posted from Mountain View, CA on December 20th.

 

Two 1099s were received on February 21st, one posted on January 23rd and the other on January 27th, one from PA and the other from, I think, upstate NY.

 

Under normal circumstances, it usually it takes first class mail from the US about ten days to arrive.

I still have not received my US Social Security 1099, wife got hers a few weeks ago, we always, at least in the past gotten them on the same day, luckily I have an online account so was able to go there and get a copy.

Here in Ayutthaya it is also abysmal, for me anyway, International mail rarely arrives, sometimes I can go to the sorting office and they just give me it as if they just couldn’t be bothered delivering it, other times it just disappears. Put this down to an address written in English but in Thai it is not much better !

 

My True Visions bills are usually delivered in 4 or 5 at a time with a rubber band around them and there is always a couple missing.

 

I live in a moobahn not out in the sticks with an obscure address and i have come to the conclusion that this is as good as it gets.
