tropo Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't know if it has been mentioned already somewhere else, but if you send "materials" by post now you need to present ID or passport. According to a notice, it's a Narcotics Control Division requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnybay Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I got shot down for saying this on a thread, but its true passport is need to send registered parcels, unregistered nothing need, so doubt its about drugs, more to do with stuff going astray I heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I has been mentioned in some reports (maybe weeks ago) and some threads/posts. It was in the English newspapers sometime ago. One really angry rant thread just one or two days ago. The OP was very angry that neither his Thai DL nor any photocopies were accepted Edited April 26, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was at the main Pattaya Post Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I am not doubting you then, but its ok send them unregistered, Thai logic lol , main office just before Songkran, she wanted no ID unregistered, but said required for registered, so i sent the latter and it arrived ok in UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Lucky you And it could also be that it wasn't luck and they accept them (laminated copies). Perhaps it varies from post office to post office. Hopefully we'll get a clearer picture after more people contribute with their personal experiences at post offices here.

I didn't think EMS (Express Mail Service) is registered post, but the notice doesn't make any distinction about the type of post, only that without ID that mail services will be refused. It makes sense that if it's a narcotics control division requirement that it would count for all mail services. It certainly does increase waiting time.

Drugs will from now on be sent by identified dealers only Better don't think what could happen. Seal your packages carefully.

If you send vitamins or legal drugs by mail it could cause a hiccup too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I sent an EMS package from a "Post Cafe" in my local mall yesterday. No ID required. Maybe only post offices are enforcing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phycokiller Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 they brought in a rule about a year ago that you have to show ID for packages over 1kg because of drugs or weapons or some such, was your package over 1kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, at least at my Post Office in BKK, they're demanding the ORIGINAL passport for non-Thais to mail out anything -- letter, envelope, box, whatever. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/829936-parcel-senders-are-required-to-show-id-cards-or-passports/?p=10651260 http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/829936-parcel-senders-are-required-to-show-id-cards-or-passports/ Edited April 26, 2016 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Here in Pattaya the English notice says: ID or passport, which is rather ambiguous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
