Post Office Boxes, Post Restante Etc

[lolex]

My gf lives out in the sticks a bit. I figure that getting her a post office box, private bag or using post restante could be safer....

but do they have such things in Thailand?

Please advise - also the Thai script and transliteration so I can communicate (perhaps) what I want.

Any advice appreciated.

I once had a PO Box at the local Post Office so I think they are pretty common. I can't remember the name in Thai as it was nearly 20 years ago, I imagine that it is tuu praisanee, sorry no Thai script on my machine. I have found the Thai postal system tends to reach most villages. Either a mailman makes it to the village every few days or the mail is collected every few days by the village headman or another trusted villager at the Post Office or at the Kamnaan's house.

PO Box is ตู้ไปรษณีย์เช่า , it's usually abbreviated to just ตู้ ป.ณ. I think they're fairly common so the post office should know what you mean.
