Thailand's postal and
communications services are among the best to be found in Asia.
The postal network reaches to even the most remote villages in
the Kingdom, with standardized international registered mail
services available at all post offices. International direct
dialing telephone services are available in all tourist centers
and at most hotels and guesthouses. While the Internet is still
not widely used in many remote areas of the country, access can
be found wherever there are tourists, and at very inexpensive
rates.
Visitors bringing their own mobile phones to Thailand can use
them provided they have international roaming turned on. The
phone charge is calculated from the home country to the
destination number and is likely to be very high.
International courier companies such as DHL, FedEx, UPS and TNT
operate from Thailand and are a good but expensive way to send
packages back home. Certain handicraft shops will arrange to
send your purchases home for you. |
