TLDR : Answer Summary
Community members shared their experiences with mailing packages to Thailand from various countries. Users have reported that while international shipping options like FedEx and DHL are available, they can be quite expensive, with costs exceeding $170 for small packages. Some users noted that there were no issues receiving packages from countries like the UK and USA, but others faced difficulties with certain countries like Australia in the past year. Overall, while delays are common, reliable options like DHL and EMS Thai Post seem to work effectively for sending gifts and other items.

Look into if you can use DHL or something else. Postal will tax the crap out of the items on arrival.
