Many things in Thailand that 'should be' aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I just checked the receipt for the card, it had the weight of the card,I thought a standard card would be ,what 21 Thb, it had cost for postage 26 Thb, then a (what translates) as special tax ?? 40 Thb.but the biggest thing that confuses me is the customs declaration sticker for a Xmas card..... regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letseng Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 On 12/1/2020 at 9:13 AM, Bangyai said: I discovered this a few weeks ago. I used to send letters to Europe for 17 baht and to the USA for 19 baht They told me this is not just a Thailand thing but in co operation with postal services around the globe. Whether or not this will be a permanent pricing remains to be seen but will be like this while the world is still gripped by covid. Got a similar reply in the P.O. here in Europe. Yes, charges went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth White Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It seems to me that we all forget the this time of year everything takes longer if by postal service or delivery service, their is more stuff to deliver. As for the cost I have no comment nor objection. If you have Facebook send your Christmas card from there, it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogmo1 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 15 hours ago, Pdavies99 said: Should read thecharges, mail to USA is not 220, more like 30baht for a letter. To clarify, please see the attached screen shot from the Thai Post website: 40 baht now available for an airmail letter; 220 baht + 40 baht surcharge for trackable airmail letter. The website does not indicate the weight limits for these rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
