Im wondering if anyone out there could give me any advice on this subject.

Im in the process of establishing a business in Thailand were the Thai postal system will be heavily relied on.

What I want to know is how secure is the registered/recorded mail system in Thailand ? Is there any firm guarantees that can be legally binding ? Is there any form of compensation for post lost ? Is there a procedure whereas the post can be insured for a certain ammount ?

All post will be internal and not international.

Facts only please if you could, not opinions on Thai postmen being thieving scoundrels ! (that bit I already know).

Cheers.

it was discussed not long back so so a search . Depends on where you are sending from and to . some areas are theft ridden and some are not.

but i wouldnt want to rely on it for business thats for sure.

Not sure of their reliability, but heres their website, most of the info you was after is on the site:
