kennkate Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I sent a parcel in Nov 2007 got there March 4 months and I payed close on £40 to sent it. I did think it was going AIR mail but it went on a nice slow boat. But it did get here intact. So dont give up on it just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spee Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Can someone please tell me how long it normally takes for stuff to get sent from the UK to get to Thailand (Pattaya). royal Mail website states 2-4 days, but i dont beleive that for thailand. I've sent many parcels from UK to LoS over the last several years, always by air and always by Royal Mail. The arrival times varied from as few as 4-5 days to as many as 20-22 days, with the norm typically a little over a week. Although the service delivery time varied, I never had one with a UK Royal Mail stamp disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intumult Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Took 3 weeks for a fathers day card to arrive from UK Taken about the same time in the past for letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 on most occasions, the letters or parcels that are sent to me normally arriving at the main bangkok sorting office 3-4 days after being posted from the UK, but then take upto 15 days to get delievered within Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerner Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I once posted a letter from Thailand to an insurance company in the UK. It took 4 days to get there, they replied to me that same day and it took 3 days to get back to me. One week, there and back - is this a record?

saorsa Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Reason i asked is i applied to open a nationwide account using my mum's adress in scotland so i can get free withdrawals and she will be forwarding the forms on for me to sign. I told her to send them recorded delivery...does that tend to make any difference (good or bad)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 If you get your mail in your home country forwarded regularly to Thailand by someone, try sending them your address written in both Thai and English on sticky labels. Or send them it as a .jpg or Word file, if they can print it onto such labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allways want to see ID and utility bill to verify its you Money laundering and all that If not she could open one in her name and send card to you & PIN No by phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I sent a small package air mail which took about a week. Might have helped that I got the recipient to send me her address in Thai which I printed and taped on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not lived in Uk for about 4 years now, but found it handy to keep some stuff running from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 In the days of the late collection in the UK I used to receive letters from London to Bangkok in less that 24 hours. Post from Pattaya to Bangkok can take a week, never mind the international leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
