chrisinchaam Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think you will find that the Cha-Am post office has a backlog of a couple of months due to a shortage of staff This week I received a letter from Bangkok posted in early December. If you need anything urgently try EMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingManDan Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) I receive all sorts of stuff from from all over the world, never had any problems, now in Hua Hin that is a different matter all together, they are totally unreliable.:jap: With your address that is the right way to write it Edited February 17, 2011 by PingManDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trickcyclist Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 if you are in a village the delivery can be doled out to local mayors who get local allykahdoos to delivery to your home. If you are in that situation, check with your local mayor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam666 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 AS ESB7 said, I get parceils and letters from the UK in 7 days excatally, everytime. Just using standard service from the UK, it's HH not Cha-Am but I imagine it's the same pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aforek Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 ..didnt know they had a shortage of staff, where did that info come from? I repeat what chrisinchaam said ( the second post ); 8 days, it's very good did you say to your correspondent to write " tambon Cha-am" and "ampoe Cha-am " , or just "Cha-am" ? may be UK post is more reliable than French post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alina Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Hi EMS is the best way forward, cost much more but delivery guaranteed and you have a tracking number to follow the package, only way really if its important. I have friends in BKK that rent a PO Box, they swear by it, so that is another option. I have lived here in Hua Hin and BKK now for a number of years, I prefer the EMS system for any important communications. Never failed 3 days, done deal.
