The Post Office have boxes, but there's usually a waiting list for one. You might get lucky. Just go in and ask.
They're 500THB a year and you put a deposit down for the key. I can't remember how much that was.

If you are asking about the store / kiosk that trades as "Mailboxes Etc.", there is one in Market Village, on the same floor as Tesco I believe. (or there was, as I do not go in regularly)

I believe you are asking where to buy a mailbox to put up on you house?
These boxes can be bought in paper and office supplies stores downtown. I bought mine in a store on Chomsin Road.

Name Taken/Nereus/anyone: Can you confirm that there is a MBE type of place in Market Village? I just returned from a 30-minute mall walk of all three floors and didn't see it. However, it may be in a corner or nook that I missed, or (very likely) I was daydreaming and walked right passed it.

I found the Thai web site for Mail Boxes Etc (MBE) and they don't show a location in Hua Hin. Any mailbox place would be fine, though.

If not in Market Village, any other in-town location would be fine.

The last time I looked it was still there. (a couple of months ago) And yes, it is in a bit of a corner. Its on the North facing wall, just before you enter the passage / alleyway that leads to the toilets, and not sure, but believe it is the same floor as Tesco. It was unattended at the time, but still open according to the sign on the counter. :cheers:

Thanks for the info, as I can now target my search a bit.

There at least used to be some sort of postal service in MV. It is one floor up from the ground-floor, hard by your left when exiting the HomePro, against the north wall.

It is at about A234 on the MV second floor plan: http://www.marketvillagehuahin.com/

If it has P.O.Boxes, I would not know. However, if you really need one, send me a PM.

Thanks for the tips. Particularly to jimmy40: somehow I missed your earlier post about Insight.

I got wrapped up in some other stuff today, but will check out Market Village and Insight when I get the chance.
