ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello all 👋,

I need to send just a couple papers back to the states. I heard DHL is the way to go? Anyone know what company i should avoid, or which company is the fastest and most reliable? Thanks in advance 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus is that DHL is the most reliable option for sending documents from Thailand to the US, with several users sharing positive experiences. While the Thai Post Office provides services like EMS, which is cheaper and comparable in reliability, it is advised to avoid regular mail due to its slow delivery time. If using Thai Post, it's recommended to specify DHL at the post office.

Thai post office EMS international is on a par with DHL. They cost around the same price. Both have a reliable tracking system. Don't send by the Thai snail mail tho, it takes more than 3 weeks to the US.

But if I have to choose, go for the DHL

DHL are fine. Since 2018 thai post and DHL are linked so simply take to any post office and specify DHL.
