I got two air mail letters from the USA in recent days, no obvious delays.  I live near the airport, so maybe the postal service just throws them out of the airplane as it lands.

I get a monthly newsletter by airmail from the US.  Late last week I got the newsletter from November.  Yesterday I got the newsletter from October.  But that's up here in Nong Bualamphu, so it's a bit farther from the airfield.

Still waiting on some important mail from Oz that was posted a week to ten days before the airport occupation.

(I still can't believe that such a damaging activity was allowed to take place ).

Normal being the "black holes" enveloping (heh ) some of the mail ?

but nothing missing.

I posted a small packet to Chiang Mai on the 10th from the UK and it arrived there yesterday, so 9 days.  I'm relieved it actually got there after reading this thread.

I received a letter from the  United States Government dated Nov 25th  a couple of days ago, and a sticker was placed over the return address saying Royal International couriers Bangkok. I think this is a company the Postal dept was using to try and catch up on the mail delivery.

Whilst we have received mail that was posted after the airport protests began and the odd cheap rubbish type mail from before then we still haven't received most of the mail that was posted before - including an expensive parcel. Also the volume of mail we receive now seems to be lower than we received pre-protests. Frustrating.

Received heaps of mail since about Dec 12 at my Bangkok P.O. Box. seems everythings slowly goes back to normal.

I received a letter last week, sent from the UK September 6th!

After 8 years here yet to receive any of the Xmas cards sent by my family and friends, even the things sent by the UK government if not registered don.t arrive. I do email them and they give date of posting. Thank you Banglamung P.O. for not wearing out my post box.

Don't remember the exact dates, but I had an EMS document package sent to me from Shanghai the day before the airport blockage started. Took it about 10 days to arrive rather than the normal 3-4 but I got it.

Several packages and parcels from Germany maile din November are missing. And an ordinary letter from bangkok to Pattaya dodn't make it either. And stuff mailed from Suvarnabhumi seems to have been stolen as well.

You all better watch out
