Are Thai postal offices currently open for sending international mail?
Does anyone know for sure if the Thai postal offices are open and delivering international mail? I have a couple of items that I would like to send to my Thai family in Udon Thani from the US. Thank you in advance for your replies.
Answer summary
Yes, Thai postal offices are currently open and operational, allowing for the mailing of items internationally. However, the delivery of international packages may experience delays due to ongoing travel restrictions and limited flight availability. Various users have reported successful experiences with mailing parcels, though individual delivery times can vary significantly. Services like EMS and DHL are actively delivering, with some users noting price increases and longer wait times for certain shipments.

To be safe, I used FedEX from US to Thailand recently. Paid a lot for the service but got much needed package in 4 days.

Postal services in Thailand are considerably better than in most European countries. Here they deliver mail 2x a day, including sundays. Never had any problems.

I sent a parcel <2kg from U.K. to Thailand 6 weeks ago. Still hasn’t arrived yet

In May I sent two small parcels (<2kg) via UK Royal Mail from London to Thailand arrived in 6 days no problems at all. Last week I sent a larger parcel (10kg) via TNT and paid extra because they advised 3-5 day delivery time. Not only has the parcel been delayed on route (Dubai and Singapore) but is now being held by FedEx in Bangkok and I’m being told I need to pay for a private clearance agent for them to release the parcel. Does anyone have experience of this happening???

OPI mailed the package two days ago via US Postal Service 1st class International since DHL wanted 165 US dollars and I paid 67 dollars. I have a tracking number and will see how long it takes.

Amazon? No luck with lazada?Eddie *******
@Travis ******
yeah. I have had lazada stuff delivered too. No issues. 7-10 days from outside of Thailand Eddie *******
@Travis ******
i also ordered an electronic motorbike repair tool. Again, not something that would be available on lazada. Travis *******
@Eddie ******
Ahh I see. I was genuinely curious because I have been able to find everything on lazada or shopee. Eddie *******
@Travis ******
somethings are not available on lazada. Sometimes i am looking for genuine parts as well.
Tomtom 550 rider for example.
Travis *******
@Eddie ******
I guess I was just wondering why you use Amazon out here and not just lazada?
Tony ******
I just received an air mail letter from the US arrived in 9 days and an air mail package just cleared customs after 12 days and should be in Koh Chang tomorrow.

Yes the domestic postal offices are open in Thailand as usual. However international delivery can be delayed depending on the travel restrictions and limited flights between certain countries.
