Whats the best method for mailing small packages occasionally to my TGF in Thailand.

Standard post office service REGITERED, not couriers crooks or you will have to pay taxes.

yes, not courier, and don't send cash

ordinary parcel post. as long as the address is right you have no problem

Any service that includes a tracking number.

Expect that your gf may end up down at Customs to pick up your parcel once in awhile where she'll need to pay an import duty, depending on how you fill out your contents form.

And how do you propose the content's form be "fudged?"

Id be interested to hear how to "fudge" it too, wife had to pay approx 80% on the value of an item ordered on aliexpress from china 2 days back, delivery was by UPS I think, still happy with the order since product wasnt available in thailand.

years back I ordered a kindle from ebay usa to thailand, I seem to remember the seller labelled the item as a gift, didnt get taxed on that but possibly down to the value of the product at the time

By air but I'd avoid by pigeon.

Put the value less than 50 US or as a gift or both

My son started marking used books & documents on the form. Obviously that doesn't work for a small or rattling package.

Not in compliance with the form's intent but certainly not something to shake your moral fiber too badly. I say this because my son shipped me medicine from a US pharmacy. One parcel marked as medicine was taken by Customs and I was told I could not import medicine into Thailand, except as luggage entering with me at Swampy. After that, packages were 'books & docs'. (That was long ago. Now buy my medicine at Thai hospital - too much hassle as well as risk at being seized with the "illegal" shipping.)
