Can you get stuff delivered to a post office in Thailand?

[finy]

I'm going to be moving around a bit in the next month, so don't really have anywhere to get something delivered to.

I might end up in some shack on an island or a guest house in BKK, so I was just wondering if I'm in a particular place is there any way I can find the local post office and ask for my parcel to be delivered there?

That way I could just turn up after a specific time and collect it, or do you actually need it delivered to a physical address?

Cheers

Yes you can, you send it to poste restante. There is a small charge on collection.

Thailand Post offers 'poste restante' they will keep your mail at you designated post office for up to 2 months I believe. You will need to show ID (passport) and will be charged a small fee on collection of your mail.

Your mail should be addressed as in this example for Khon Kaen:

YOUR NAME

Post Restante

Khon Kaen Post Office

Khon Kaen

Thanks everyone.

I'll use this method when I find somewhere and I'll ask them for their address.

I suggest you use the main post office in a larger town as that way they often have systems where the item is recorded in a book and hence is safer.
