TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses various methods for sending a letter to the UK, highlighting DHL as a preferred option due to its speed and reliability, despite the high cost. Other mentioned services include EMS tracked air-mail and Fastship.co for price comparisons. Several commenters also suggest alternatives like scanning and emailing documents, especially when it's unnecessary to send physical copies. Overall, DHL is frequently recommended as the best choice, while others note extended delivery times for traditional postal services.

You can use Thai Post registered delivery for reliability. Took 1 week before COVID-19 but is currently taking 2-3 weeks.
