[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1576608, member: 29643"]There's actually are simple solutions to get around the "missing packages" in Thailand: 1) Get a PO Box. 2) Live in a condo. 3) Send mail to businesses. The routing of mail in Thailand generally as follows: USPS sends to Thailand. Thailand Post accepts the package and routes to sub-stations. Any packages directed to businesses or condos (large population buildings) are sorted by the building address, as opposed to the final address; it's up to the building to do final sorting. Any packages directed to a PO Box are sorted by the post office (similar to the prior scenario). The problem is with delivery to home addresses. Since the packages are sorted by what amounts to courier service, the packages are "misplaced" ("fell off the bike"). The bigger problem that you'd have with buying coins in the Kingdom is the fact that they're illegal to import. According to Thai custom regulations, coins, bullion, jewelry, money, negotiable instruments, etc are all prohibited from mail.[/QUOTE]
