Re Postage - 7000 miles for 2.59 KG at a price of Baht 1660 - not too bad really. DHS might be more Baht but possibly, better service next time. I have a Pal who uses DHL regularly. and says they are ok. Good luck.

I agree it not a bad price overall.
Just went to DHL office 100 yardsfrom main Tesco lotus and it was shut. will try again.

on the subject of thai post i sent a birthday card to my old man in the uk on Monday and it arrived Friday same week. so excellent service for 27 thb

Thaiga. Where's Mittraparb ? Sorry.
Dodgey Dave. Please don't talk to me about Thai Post ! Before Christmas, the Postman on our 'round' left the job. Since then. No post ! I am missing lots. My Missis and the Gal next door visited the Chok Chai office and rang many times. I went in and jollied about and they let me search around the sorting office, but no luck. Think it's in a bag in a ditch somewhere. Mai pen lai but ...... !
OK in the other direction though.
Christmas cards from here, 18 baht for 7000 miles but 60p approx. to send next door in UK.
Good luck
