samuijimmy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Ordered something on line from a BKK shop on Friday.... at about 3 pm.... transferred money from Bank ... Expecting being a holiday week-end that would not see anything arrive until next week... Low and behold, parcel arrived (delivered to house) 11.45 Saturday morning... no special delivery.... Amazing! Perhaps that's the reason for the late night flights?? I've also sent stuff to BKK that arrives next day....

PattayaPhom Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The banking, transport and postal services in Thailand are excellent, far superior to those in most of the Western world......and I bet the postie on his scooter even had a genuine smile on his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impressive most of the time. (Transport here on Samui leaves a bit to be desired!) So Samuijimmy - you are to blame for all of the late flights? Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The postman even waves me down if he sees me heading down the road to give me my Makro flyer or what ever! Agreed, somethings do work better here! I'm sure there will be a few that would disagree.... but you can't please all of the people all of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TongueThaied Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thai Post gets my highest accolades. I have had 100% success and satisfaction with this organization for both international and domestic shipments. They even have a pretty decent English Language website! The United States Post Office (which has utterly gone to hell over the years since the so called privatization) should be so good as to follow the Thai example on this one.

Tropicalevo Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Posted all of the Christams cards to the UK at the Samui Choengmon PO on the 1st December. Have been told by some friends that the cards had arrived already by the 8th December. That's a seems like a pretty good service to me for 24 baht! Air mail, normal service only.

samuijimmy Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Another amazing service not only from the post office, but by Apple computers.. Friend sent a Mac laptop to BKK Mac repair, on Thursday last week, it arrived Friday. Apple emailed to say done repair Friday afternoon... Mailed it back yesterday 9.15 am, (according to Tracking service) arrived Samui at my house at 12.15 pm... The same post man had already delivered the Makro flyer less than an hour before... Pretty darn good me thinks and my visiting friend too! Ibeat store said it would take 20 days if they were to send it for repair... Some things in Thailand really are amazing!
