astral Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I have seen a number of these shops around, particularly in shopping malls, and assumed that they were the Thai Postal service, expanding its visibility. I went to post an airmail letter to the UK today, the normal price is 28 baht with 2 sheets of paper inside. The Post Net charge was 38 baht. When I queried it I was told there is 10 baht service charge 35% Needless to say they won't be geting my business again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbing Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Astral, The first three postal rates to UK for a normal airmail letter are 17, 24 and 31 baht depending on weight of course. Where are these Post Net shops? In Bangkok? I am in Khon Kaen and haven't seen one here. Do they sell stamps etc and have a handstamp for cancellations, or are they just a receiving point and take what they have collected during the day to the nearest PO themselves. (if you're lucky) I'd sooner trust a real PO, and trust is a relative word. Lung Bing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I've seen a few around. There's one at Tesco Rangsit, another tucked away beside a restaurant on Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road. Probably heaps of them, just that they're very small. I'd pay the extra 10 baht rather than stand around for 20 minutes to post a letter at the Post Office in Future Park for example.
