Postman fired after lost mail found at his home
By Coconuts Bangkok

BANGKOK: -- Thailand Post, the organization known for folding, breaking, throwing and totally losing mail, fired a postman yesterday after a customer, who was sick of waiting for her mail, visited the postman’s home to find a bunch of undelivered packages.

Facebook user Watchareeporn Sasawat shared a photo of the undelivered mail hidden at the home of Chantaburi’s local postman after she decided to go look for an EMS package she was supposed to receive nine days ago.

Watchareeporn said her family knew the postman personally, so a relative went over to his house and found her package, along with a pile of other undelivered letters and packages.

If you struggle to understand why this happens, look up a company's website and attempt to use their address to find their location.

All address's should have Gps info contained within... easy

Fired? Shouldn't he be arrested and charged with theft at the very least?

It is difficult to fill a vacancy for a postman, and often they end up hiring people who deliver shoddy work.

The poor guy is probably under stress with a lousy job. A warning would have been more appropriate.

Oh come on, no need to make him lose more face.

You're obviously no good, not like Thai people.

Well, we had problems when the postman rings twice, and in this case, he didn't ring at all.

I complained to the post office as we have had no mail since December. Before that we were lucky to get mail every other month.

It's really annoying that we can lose track of bills because nearly all our mail goes missing.

I think it no coincidence that a letter arrived yesterday. Not only that, it was actually delivered to our house instead of being left at the local shop.

Seems that the post office does take action when they receive a complaint.

It's probably the opinion of people who have received folded or broken items in the post, or not received a package they were expecting at all.

And we are suppose to trust these people to deliver our bills on time.

Over a six month period I got none of the six items I bought online ...I complained to the boss & they were in my box the next morning the problem is that this happens every 6 months getting no or almost no mail they just seem to leave it somewhere for many months at a time & maybe you will forget about it ...in my case I had to buy all the items twice so when they showed up the next day they were useless to me

So ....... I guess the urban myth of the Thai postmen stealing mail is no

longer a myth.....

visiting the local mail centre to pick up a package, I was sitting there watching them sort the packages & they were throwing them up to 4 metres into piles on the floor, they were simply too lazt to carry them and didnt care what was inside them so yes I can definitely say thet this is exactly how they sort their packages, Add to that 2 seperate visa cards went missing in the mail and the local PO told me that the workers are known to take them so they can sell them, even their bosses knows it happens but do nothing.

Its EMS same in every country.

Funny how Thailand lets in 2000 euro worth of medication without permit or taxes.
