JoePai Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Can anyone recommend the best service to post letters to the UK - and what service to ask the UK recipient to use to post back to Thailand ? Thank you Link to comment
Expattaff1308 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I use ordinary post via airmail, and if important docs enclosed send registered, not been let down in seven yrs. Link to comment
AyG Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 In ascending order of security: ordinary airmail, registered mail (loŋˑtháˑbian - gives proof of posting, but not tracking), EMS (fast delivery - 2-3 working days, tracking as far as the airport). EMS is very expensive - 950 Baht for a single letter last time I used it. For the return, "International Signed For" for anything of value - though Thai posties will sometimes leave a parcel without actually getting a signature. Link to comment

I use "Registered" from Thailand to the UK...it does give you tracking, even in the UK, and is considerably cheaper than EMS. Delivery about 7 - 10 days. "International Signed For". gives you full tracking from UK to Thailand Link to comment
