Khun Jean Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have experience with this. 1st. Never arrived (CD with holiday pictures) 2nd Took almost 2 months. (resend CD with holiday pictures) 3rd Never arrived. (Birthday cards) 4th within 3 days. (Letter) 5th Never arrived (Letter) These were all send to the Netherlands with normal post from the postoffice near Lamai. Also receiving post is erratic sometimes within days sometimes after 2-3 months and a few times never. (Just postcards, not envelopes which could have money inside). After this i gave up and used fax, e-mail. Not easy when you want to send some to your 88-year old grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I send most of my letters to the UK, but I don't send them from Thailand! I use an online service based in the UK which prints out my letter and sends it directly from the UK to the destination UK address. They can even print out colour photos etc. The service cost is very reasonable... Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
