TLDR : Answer Summary
The international postal services in Thailand are partially operational. DHL and FedEx are functioning well even during the pandemic, while regular post is resuming gradually. Experiences shared indicate that regular mail is delivering from countries like the UK and Sweden, but there are ongoing delays in sending to the US and some other countries. Users have reported receiving mail normally from various destinations, but others have faced issues with sending, particularly with EMS to specific locations. It’s advised to check with local post offices for the most current information on available services.

In the UAE I have experienced very minor postal and shipping delays that could be attributed to the coronavirus.

You can try Fastship.co out of Thailand globally, used them 3 times for 1x letter and 2x parcels to mainland EU over the last 3 months. Gives you the courier options, timeframe & price in advance. Worked fine, albeit it’s a bit more expensive then regular mail.
I’m also receiving orders from EBay normally from overseas so there are working options.
Thai Post/EMS also accepts mail out now to most countries, best to check at/with the post office physically.

Where is this from? It's dated June 2. Is there anything more recent? I cannot send to the US or receive from Spain, but I have received mail from Sweden, Italy, Germany, and the UK without problems.
so according to that one can send air mail to UK 😀

I had this problem last week, too. They told me the planes weren't flying from Thailand to USA. No word on when this will change, either. so frustrating.
My wifes been sending me veggy curry pastes and my favourite spicy cheese noodles to Singapore takes about 2 to 3 weeks but they are obviously still operating
