finy Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yes you can, you send it to poste restante. There is a small charge on collection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREM-R Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) 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 40000 Thailand Edited May 26, 2014 by PREM-R 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
