PATTAYA POSTAL SERVICES & POST OFFICE OUTLETS

\

 

PATTAYA POST OFFICE can be found in Soi 13/2 and its only small: Where to find the 2 Pattaya Post Offices. Soi 13/2 or Soi Post Office although theres no sign on the lampost. Its between 2nd Rd and Beach Rd and if driving up from Beach Road its on the left side 1/2 way up. Suggest use a scooter as hard to get a park for your car & the street is narrow. Theres a Bank of Aythaya beside it

 

By the Post Office Soi 13/2 looking to the beach	Lookig up to Second Road. NOT many parks

 

PATTAYA POST OFFICE: The second Location and easier to get a park is follow the Naklua Road from the Dolphin /Kiss corner and drive approx 3kms past 2 sets of lights and turn right at the next set where you see the Phillips Electrical sign on the right opposite corner at Soi Sawang Fa -- turn right. The Post Office is approx 300m on the right side. There are also numerous photo copy shops around this P.O. if you need.

 

 

 

Pattaya also has the odd agents like Buakaew Post Services but the prices to send mail are a little higher & you do not get a receipt like the main P.O. It is up to you if you use their services but if you lose your mail there is no comeback!!!!! so be warned.

WHAT TO AVOID IN PATTAYA:

1/. If buying pills try not to buy on Pattaya Klang Rd as the prices are dear (you are paying their high rents). Some shops are framchises and many pills are generic copies that you may find not suitable. Avaoid all the main Bar streets for pharmacy stocks.

2/. Avoid the large Noodle shops on Pattaya Klang and 2nd road etc especially on the left side before TOT & 3rd Road. They are tourist traps & prices for Thai food very high. Better to find in the side streets which are good Thai places and outside 7/11s and Foodmarts.

3/. Copy shops charge 2-3 baht each so again avoid the Kodak shops unless you really have to use. Good copy shops near the Naklua P.O. or near schools.

4/. As a newcomer you will find prices in Pattaya are a little higher than Chiangmai for instance. Many shops are geared up to take your money if youre unwary but its worse in Phuket.

5/. Remember the TOT installation crew. Question about inlets and a surge protector which you do not need and can buy in Tesco or Carrefour etc.

6/. Remember also if you have a problem in Banks or TTnT & they say have you tried your Bank -always say yes and that they told you to go to them? This puts them on the spot to help you. TTnT may say you cannot cancel the phoneline if in Chiangmai & you have to go back to CM but just say Chiangmai already told you that Pattaya can send a fax to Chiangmai to cancel?? many outfits like TTnt have terrible help line but its true. Chiangmai will cancel a Pattaya line so whay not the other way. . The fax is OK as thats what Chiangmai told us but its also good to make these companies follow up on customer support.
