December 15, 200916 yr I have two small parcels that I need to send overseas by registered mail and have be dated - that is, date marked - today. I thought I knew of a post office that is open until midnight, but got there to find it closed. Is there any post office open in Chiangmai at this hour?
December 15, 200916 yr Airport is an unlikely maybe, probably closes about 10pm but still worth a try. Can you courier them ???? Maybe possible to backdate the awb. Phil
December 15, 200916 yr I think you may be out of luck. Mae Ping is open until 19:00 and the only P.O. open later is at the Airport until 20:00. Now there is a P.O. station at Anusarn Market but I tried to send a registered parcel from there one evening and they told me it was not possible. I don't know why they are open at night if they can't accept a registered parcel. I think Carrefour has a mini station too that is open at night but I've never tried to send anything from there.
December 15, 200916 yr DHL ?? If OK it is at the back of the Night Bazaar building on basement level.
December 15, 200916 yr Author My thanks to all. Why not tomorrow? Because the tax authorities to whom the packages are being posted will consider them timely if posted by today, and not otherwise.

December 15, 200916 yr Ask them very politely tomorrow when you go to the post office if they can post mark it yesterday. This is Thailand.
December 16, 200916 yr My father was always trying to "game" the system on making payments at the last minute. One of his tricks was the alter the date on the postage meter for his small business and tell his creditor, "gee, I mailed it over a week ago. It must be delayed in the mail. You'll see when it finally arrives when I mailed it." Not ethical, nothing I'm proud of, but it seemed to work sometimes.
December 16, 200916 yr My thanks to all.Why not tomorrow? Because the tax authorities to whom the packages are being posted will consider them timely if posted by today, and not otherwise. OK, I see. Were you able to postmark your packages with yesterdays date?
December 16, 200916 yr Next time, try the small private PO on Rachadamnoen Rd. It's close to Taphae Gate and that place, whose name I have forgotten, where they sell crap coffee.
