I'm moving to Pattaya, and I wish to forward my mail there, however I won't have a permanet address untill I'm out there. and I need to put an address in the forms before I go !

Does anybody know how easy (and how much ?) opening a PO BOX would be, or weather there is a Poste Restante in Pattaya ? (how much to collect and is it relaible ?)

Or any other ideas !

Cheers

100 baht a month at Jomtien Complex Condotel on main road from Jomtien beach to Pattaya. Got a box in 5 minutes. Don't have to show any passport,etc. Have received all my mail OK from there.

Thanks Dragonman.

Do you think it would be easy enough for a Thai Girl on her own, to set up for me ?

Depends where you will be located, There are boxe's available in Pattaya, (Soi post office), and North Pattaya.

I know a few girls that have their own, its no problem for a TG to do, infact probably easier than you as she speaks Thai.

Try www.thaipostalboxes.com, they will let you register and pay for the address online before you leave your home country.

Thanks Lip, that was exactly what I was looking for.

I owe you a beer !

You are right that these post offices have boxes, but I do not think you will find

any are available. There may even be a waiting list, if the Thai's have such a feature.

Glad to be helpful Hammer and I am always up for a beer.

Hammer,

How did you go? It seems like a good option for people arriving you can arrange your forwarded mail address before you leave home.

It has worked out really well Lip, they are a real friendly bunch in the office. I would reccomend them to everybody.
