Wide range of rooms in the
heart of Hua Hin
new post office opens; old one being
demolished
hua hin, THAILAND
The much maligned old post office in the centre of Hua Hin is no more demolition work on the building, which had been closed for several weeks,
began this week, although it is not known what will take it’s place yet.
What is known though is that a new post office has now opened in a brand
new building between the Mercedes dealership and Koncept furniture
showroom on the Phetkasem Road north of the town, and just south of
the tunnel, roughly opposite the Go Kart Hua Hin track on Soi 2.
The new office currently opens on Monday to Fridays only from 8 am to
3.30 pm but has one particularly huge advantage over the old office - plenty
of space to park. Whether there will also be improvements in the sorting
and delivery of mail, something that has been a major criticism of the
postal service in the area for many years, remains to be seen. The new
office may also start to open on Saturdays if it is felt there is the need.
We are sure that some residents and tourists will find the new location
inconvenient, particularly those further south of the town, but there are a
plethora of private operations dotted across the area who can handle most
postal requirements, and no doubt many opened because of the problems
at the old location, where long queues were the norm. Stamps are normally
available from the shops that sell postcards and greetings cards as well.
However some services are only available at the post office itself, such as
poste restante and collection of mail that has to be signed for, so it must be
hoped that the new office will be able to handle these better than before.
As for the old location, the site must be very valuable, and our bet would be
on either a hotel or a big retailer taking it on if it is being, or has been sold,
and we will endeavour to find out and bring you the news.
