    ยป I am having difficulty getting mail delivered from the USA-Thailand, nothing is arriving at it's intended destination. Is this a normal thing in Thailand for foreign mail to be stolen? I have read on here that the main airport in Bangkok is a hotspot of corruption and theft of luggage, is this true...

[/quote:c4e1hpig] We were getting extra mail in our box for weeks. The names were completely random and the house numbers on the misdelivered mails weren't even CLOSE. Then, the otherday I was going down OnNut around mid day and there was this mail man with his load all over the road.... The poor sap was dodging lunch hour traffic trying to collect the letters and parcels that fell off his scooter. You might want to have a talk first with the mail man then the local post office. AFAIK, there isn't any delivery problem with letters or envelopes but packages can occasionally turn up missing. We are in BKK and have not had any issue with missing international mails or packages in the past many years - especially EMS or priority mail. YMMV in the provinces but if it is something important you migh consider Fedex or UPS instead of 'the mail'.

Yes computers/internet/etc are the way to go, but some things have to be hard copied deliveried. I can''t jump on a plane everytime.......so frustrated
