Aforek Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 In France, "poste restante " means that your parcel or letter is waiting for you at the post office Because it's a French expression, I guess it has the same meaning in English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforek Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 It's a special counter in the post office, with a board written " poste restante "; you go with your passport ; many years ago I received my mail in poste restante at the big Bangkok Post office if it's a small post office, maybe there is no special counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they leave a slip in the mailbox telling me to go to the post office........ Wonder why not this time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Maybe taxes? Or they can't decipher the address. Normally for tax it would show something like "exception" You can write Post Restante and it won't be delivered, but held at the local office until you contact them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 In Thai it actually says 'awaiting delivery' so maybe don't hurry down to that office until tomorrow. Normally for tax in Pattaya it is handled at Naklua office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 for taxes, you'd have to wait for them to deliver you the green slip, I've had case where I've shown up with the tracking no. but without the green slip telling you how much to pay, the local office don't have authority to set how much to charge. Or maybe that office in Chonburi can negotiate the tax with you. For some really big ticket item, I've even had to go to the main sorting office in Bangkok (Laksi) to pay them, maybe they're fearing that if you see too big a tax bill and wouldn't turn up at all, and could make arrangement to go rummaging around the back of the post office after they have thrown out the item after a 'no show' or rejection to pay.

Nah not big ticket, cost me $20 AUD..... Taxes will most likely be Bt.3000 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
