elgordo38 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My g/f tells me that effective today if you mail a package at the PO you must show your passport and if your Thai your ID card. This is another great step by the government on the war against drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhamBam Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That seems way over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 That seems way over the top. I agree but she showed me the message on her mobile. Hopefully other readers will come up with more answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I also heard this and saw a notice which was apparently made by the post office. Apparently there's people sending illegal stuff via the post service. Edited June 2, 2015 by ukrules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saakura Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If you are sending legitimate stuff, what is the big deal in showing your identity so it can be traced back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If you are sending legitimate stuff, what is the big deal in showing your identity so it can be traced back? Passports are for international travel. 'Papers please'...where have I heard that phrase before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Papers please'...where have I heard that phrase before ? yes therefor Thai people can show their ID and travelers lack of ID can show their passport. In my country ID cards virtually don't exist, you could show your driving license or if you don't have one you would also need your passport even inside the country.

noahvail Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The posting certainly appears to be on ThaiPost letterhead, with a start date of today, June 2. This wouldn't be the first time that info has been released to the public before being given to the workers. As for it fighting the war on drugs, well...

Tywais Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A post in non-English language removed. Just asked my wife and she says it's been that way for a long time already in that she has to show ID for parcel mailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
