Hi,

I am in Bangkok and Thai immigration here requires documents that I have left in Chiang Mai - I need the name of a courier service that can get them to me by tomorrow - any help would be greatly appreciated,

Phil.

You would be hard-pressed to beat fed-ex ( http://www.fedex.com/th/ ) checking

their website I see they have an office in Chiang-mai. It will obviously be pricey

but whenever I've used them, the service has been outstanding.

Make sure to give them your mobile#, they will actually call you when it arrives.

A Thai initiating a conversation is English, it does happen in real life.

Poste restante is the classy French term for picking it up at the local office,

Maybe easier than having it delivered to you temporary address.

send it by the bus, 50 THB and within 15 hours.

Yes this is the way to go. Used it before to send a spare car key set from BKK to Chiang Mai, 14hrs., 80 Baht.

EMS is also possible (24hrs. within Thailand)

post it a the main Post Office in CM, not a small branch office.

Poste Restante means picking it up at the designated POST OFFICE and addressed to the recipient thereat, but I suspect Fedex will not deliver to a post office. Home is best.

You can also try the Thai airlines - they used to have a service (not sure if it still operates) - deliver the item to the airport or agent and they fly it to Bkk for your collection, at a cost of course.

By that I meant you could have it addressed to the fed-ex office nearest you, and when it

arrived the staff would call you to come pick it up. Rather than having it "left" in the care

of any other 3rd parties, which only increases the screw-up factor. Seeing as your running

out of time maybe it doesn't matter. The bus thing certainly sounds interesting although I

certainly wouldn't want to do that with anything of value.

Many thanks to all who have taken the trouble to help out with this - seems the bus might do the trick - my wife organized it in CM and I have to go to the Northern Bus Station at 7 in the morning - somewhere near Mo Chit BTS I think - and it will hopefully be there waiting for me -

thanks again,

Phil.
