Hello everyone,

My first post on here, an infuriating subject of missing post.

In the past two years my wife has sent about a thirty letters to her family in Phetchaboon, none contain anything of monetary value. Sentimental value such as photos of our children etc.

This may sound silly but when we send large envelopes or packets they allways arrive.When we send smaller evelopes these go missing. My wife says the postal workers do not regard small envelopes as important .

Has anybody else experienced similar problems?Post should be sacred worldwide

I was pleasantly suprised last week when a recieved about 15 small envelopes containing all the coins and stamps that I had won on eBay (Yes, I am a collector). So I haven't experienced the problem of missing post yet.

Hi coolhandjoe, and welcome to the forum.

I live in Phetchabon, and have done so for 10 years. In all of that time, only one letter has gone astray, a package containing a CD a friend in the UK sent to me. I get my retirement payslip sent here every month, which is a very small letter, and always gets here, and, in addition, I subscribe to football magazines, which also arrive every month. When we lived in the UK, and sent birthday cards to our nephews and nieces here, we always put the card in a plain brown envelope, (my wife's idea), and they always arrived OK.

Perhaps you've just been unlucky, on this occasion.

It has not have gone astray....Thai customs have confiscated it as they think you are a dirty old man and are getting "specialist" movies sent in...

When I changed moved to Thailand to start work, shipped CD's with work data on them before hand, and never seen them again, box arrived with all my other cr*p, but no CD's.

My secratary at the time persued this with customs, they yes they confiscated them and if It wanted them back it would take around 3 months and basically had to sit with them and explain what evey single file was on the disks..suffice to say didnt bother...
