POST OFFICE AT BANGKOK AIRPORTS, SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT HAS 24 HOURS SERVICE AND CAN BE USED TO SEND LIQUIDS AND OTHER PARCELS TO YOUR NEXT DESTINATION

If you travel to Thailand and have to send some parcels before taking a plane you have to know that Thailand airports are very convenient to send parcels as Suvarnabhumi airport and Don Muang airport feature a post office, and the post office at Bangkok international airport is even opened 24 hours!

So you don't need to worry about you flight departure time and the airport post office opening hours as there will always be somebody in the office to take your parcel or sell you some stamps.

These airports post office can also be very convenient if you arrive at airport with liquids and flaks that you forgot to put in you check-in luggage, because you will be able to use the post office service to send your liquids to your home country of even to your hotel if you will come back to Bangkok for example after a trip to the beach at Phuket or Samui or a trip to the north of Thailand, as Chiang Mai for example.

But one thing you need to know is that it is officially forbidden to use post office service to send liquids, so do not go to the post office with your hands full of flasks and bottles to ask a box to pack them and send them to your next destination, as officers will show you the sign saying that they don't have service for liquids and bottles.

What you have to do is buy a paper box of the convenient size (from 10 to 24 THB) at the post office, pack your parcel somewhere else, and then go back to the post office with your parcel ready to send.

If you want to send it by registered service just write "souvenir" on the label and add "gift" so you won't have to pay any tax if you send your liquids abroad.

Also, if some of the bottles you have to send are glass bottles, you can buy bubble wrap at the airport post office as well as at any Thailand post office. Bubble wrap paper is very cheap in Thailand post offices, and you can buy 1 sheet (50x50 cm) for as low as 5 THB only. Buy as many bubble wrap sheets as you need and even put some around your box after having packed it if you want to be sure that your bottles wont break and that nobody will be alerted that the box contains liquids because of a leakage.

And don't worry, it's not really illegal to send bottles through post office, as some people who sell Thai beverages, bottles, and perfumes, do it on a daily basis, but Thai people and post office officers are just scared that you do not pack your bottle well and that they might break and soak others parcels sent through post office service.

So if you forget to put your Chanel fragrance or any other expensive liquid cosmetics or liquid medecine in your check-in luggage at Bangkok airports you don't need to throw them away anymore, you just need to go to the Thai post office at the departure floor and send your flaks and bottles by post to any destination, and it's cheap !
