A Trip To Local Post Office
Our Sri Lanka trip took place in March 2015. After 10 months, we have finally printed out photos from our trip. Keeping our promises, we needed to send the photos to the few Sri Lankans we met. This warrants a trip to a local post office in Bangkok.
There is a post office close to our place at Lad Phrao, and is within walking distance.
Walking in to the post office, there were few customers. No queue number system in place, so I just walked up to the counters and waited for my turn. Luckily, I knew my basic Thais, and managed to communicate with the post office’s staff of my ‘normal International Air’ requirements, i.e. not registered mails, etc.
Altogether, I sent 5 envelopes:
- 3 envelopes x 14 grams each = 3 x 19 baht = 57 baht
- 2 envelopes x 6 grams each = 2 x 14 baht = 28 baht
- Total = 85 baht
Simple requirements, so it didn’t take too long. I was lucky to arrive just before closing time at 5:00pm.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the photos will reach our intended recipients safely.
