Thai government launches complaint mailbox

BANGKOK: -- The government has established a new postal service mailbox where the public can post complaints, in addition to a special website and telephone hotline.

According to the Centre of Public Service in the Office of the Prime Minister, the mailbox address is 1111 which matches the website address -- www.1111.co.th -- and a telephone hotline number for the

same purpose. Both the website and the telephone hotline were launched on last Friday, November 24.

Letters sent to the special mailbox require no postage. To post a complaint, simply write: To the Prime Minister, Government House, PO Box 1111.

In a statement, it hoped the mailbox, which opened Friday, would be used by the public to make complaints, suggestions and feedbacks in regard to government policies.

A similar scheme used by the ousted Thaksin Shinawatra government was closed after the September 19 coup.
