elgordo38 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 As a former retired letter carrier things are not what they used to be. More parcels less cards. I realize that Thailand does not celebrate Christmas although I see all the decorated stores (to drag you in to purchase something) Fond memories of days gone by.

soalbundy Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I wish i could get a letter from Europe that doesn't take three weeks to reach me, although i have had some that have taken two months. It is strange that a letter from Germany takes three days to get to the sorting office and then another two and a half weeks to reach me in my village.

farangmick Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Probably in a minority of one, but I have no problem with Thailand Post. Made five orders with companies in Thailand in the last few weeks, EMS. As soon as they arrive in Thailand, I only have a max 3 day wait for delivery, usually 2. The problem can be with the choice of carrier. Singapore Post best, China and Netherlands good. Swedish post..still in a rowing boat somewhere out to sea, postal staff probably all delivering handouts to migrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farangmick Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 tried to edit, but now have two posts. First post makes no sense. Substitute China for Thailand and it's a bit better. (Had a Christmas drink, or three). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrens54 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hope they can keep everything DRY. For the second time in recent months THAI POST has delivered WET, SOGGY material. This time, it had been re-packed in a Plastic Thai Post Envelope but the Card and a Calendar were WET and MUSHY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
