Reliability of Postal Services in Thailand
"Per Löwdin" wrote in message ... Actually we don't have any data on comparative reliability between Thailand and *other* countries. Markku: Where have u been in Asia? How long? Have u ever been out of the expat bars in Pattaya? I have been to bars in Pattaya. I just don't know what is "ex-pat" one. I have been in bars in Sweden. I don't know if any of them was full of gay clients as is so common in the kingdom (at least this is what Finns keep saying about Swedish bars and on Swedes in general).. I have been returned at least twice a letter by the Thai Post which I have send by an explicit and valid address. And, then, there was probably an explanation. Not enough stamps? Unreadable address? There are countries in Asia where you might not have got the letter You don't seem to comprehend your readings too well yourself. Obviously you never passed any tests at grund skola. in return. Nepal´s postal system is pretty schetchy, to the extent that friends living in Nepal have at times asked us to mail their letters in Bangkok because the Thai postal service is regarded as comparatively reliable. You consider something. You don't have anything to support your idea. |

"Sjoerd" wrote in message ... you do compare to the date of mailing (whether you have a comprehensive database for this or you check the date on the envelope or both). My mother loves receiving postcards and I regularly send her one. I always put the date on my postcards, and my mother puts the date on which she receives it on the card. Complicado, no? So, you mother always checks the time difference and let you know? How do you get along with in a case deliveries never get their destination? How do you record this? |

Those I guess you have it all wrong. losers tend to have a poor understanding of Thailand, often venting various prejudices. Now, have u been anywhere in Asia outside the sex-tourist ghettos? I have never been into sex ghettos (one more gibberish term) anywhere in the world. Not even in Stockolm which is one of the gay capitals of the world. All this is off topic though because there are no arguments around to support your claims on more reliable structures and practices in Thailand to get mail out from the country in comparison to *other * countries. If you are indignat at something, it just demonstrates that you should trim your mental endurance a bit. I don't see any reason for such behaviour. |

Markku,
You're posting to the wrong newsgroup, you should be posting to alt.Finn looking for an argument with anyone as usual. John L.

One of our colleagues sent a postcard from Rome, Italy dated on 29.12.2003, it arrived in it's destination last week...

"Per Löwdin" wrote in message ... Guess? If you hang out in Pattaya expat bas you are a most probably a loser who have to pay to get laid. Shame on you! As probably as the Thai Post is superior to postal institutions in other countries. Is this a sort of crusade against evils of the world. As one strolls the beach road at night it is better to keep inland side because you have a smooth passage contrary to the beach side. There are at least as many perverts around in Stockholm and I don't give a **** about it. It is true that this population is less noisy than the one in Pattaya and you hardly get crossed with them if you don't want to. If I decided to visit an "expatriate" bar in Söder in which clients are mostly Finns but there are some Swedish homosexuals around too, should I check my balls in that case too. I am an old chap now. Swedish homos are not after me I suppose. They hunt something much more attractive, fresh and tight. I suppose you faggot believe being on the winning side. I don't believe I have done anything in Thailand I should be shamed on. Have you got your head examined? losers tend to have a poor understanding of Thailand, often venting various prejudices. Now, have u been anywhere in Asia outside the sex-tourist ghettos? I have never been into sex ghettos (one more gibberish term) anywhere in the world. Seems, you have a difficulty to comprehend, the question was: Have you ever been anywhere else in Asia? Outside Pattaya? Question includes informal (bull****) expressions. I have been into Pattaya last summer. And I have been elsewhere in Asia too. This hardly has anything to do with postal services though. |

"Markku Grönroos" blathered: Have you ever been anywhere else in Asia? Outside Pattaya? Question includes informal (bull****) expressions. I have been into Pattaya last summer. And I have been elsewhere in Asia too. To Pattong´s expat bars? Or anywhere outside the closed circuit of expat bars? This hardly has anything to do with postal services though. Well, it has, firstly because you seem to be on about the same level of understanding what is going on in Asia or in the world at large as those losers that hang out in Pattaya´s expat bars, secondly because it might explain why you sometimes post such utterly ignorant stuff ("Swedish Beduins" [sic!]. I really think that you only got as far as Pattaya. That you don´t have any experience of Asia except for Pattaya bars. Pathetic! Per |

I have been into Pattaya last summer. And I have been elsewhere in Asia too. To Pattong´s expat bars? Or anywhere outside the closed circuit of expat bars? Hmm... I find this somewhat peculiar. For Thais public houses are a bit alien institutions so I guess about all the bars I have visited in Thailand are those "expatriate ones". I have been to Phuket (and Patong (and bars along Bangla for instance) and of course I have been to the Shark's). And many, many other places in Thailand and I have been thirsty in all of them.

I really think that you only got as far as Pattaya. That you don´t have any experience of Asia except for Pattaya bars. Pathetic! I can see you are still angry about something. I don't take the blame though. I have never said I am the most articulate traveller. I don't have a high profile. Actually I don't hang around much on beach resorts anywhere in the world. I cannot say I don't do so at all. In Thailand I have been to Krabi, Phuket (my favourite in many respect), Samui, Samet (very nice indeed especially those seemingly dead dogs whose sneaking breath doesn't reveal them). In Kenya I liked the beach north from Mombasa (where a Jew hotel was blown away recently, well I visited there in 1982). And further north along the coast. In Mexico I visited Cancun, which I didn't like and Isla Mujeres, which was much better. And in Indonesia in Bali and Java you don't get faraway from sea. I also had beers at Kuta, Eeeek! One evil Gomorrah. I checked Paddy's and found the place decent. The Sari Club too. Popularity of the latter was quite mysterious to me: full of ozis tightly packed in a tent like establishment. Lord saved me from the destiny of Sodom this time though. I flew out on 27th September 2002. Other "expatriates" should have done the same. Better luck next time. Perhaps in Pattaya. |

I forgot to tell you that my best friend is the General-Director for Quality Control of International Mail - Asia Section for TPG (former Netherlands Royal Mail). Under his leadership, management and control, the department did a 8-month study of the quality of the mail services in Thailand, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Singapore. 106,472 items of mail (postcards, letters, and parcels) were mailed from random locations in these 10 countries and at random moments during the 8-month study. All exact times of mailing and delivery were registered. After a thorough analysis which was quality controlled by 3 well-known professors of renowned Universities in the Netherlands, the UK and Spain, the results were recently published. Main conclusion was that the quality of Thai Post is excellent compared to the postal services in the other 9 countries. All 10,647 items mailed from Thailand arrived after 2 to 7 days at their destinations in Europe. Sjoerd |
