Sorry, can't help you there. But just to try the speed or lack of same of the Thai postal service I posted a letter to my house in Hua Hin, from a street mailbox on Petchkasem, also within the HH city limit.
It took the Thai postal service one week to deliver the letter to my address. And the postman who delivered the letter was not riding a mule or a camel, but a Honda. Oo, it is good to be retired and not in a hurry.....

I'd suggest you ask to do a search at the post office which you used in LOS first. The main HH post office staff are usually very obliging and should check their registered post book and in the pidgeon holes for you.
If their records show that the mailing was registered by them, and it isn't still sitting around waiting to be sorted, the only other option is for the recipient to check at their end.
I had 2 similar problems in HH. One was my passport posted registered from Bangkok to HH, which sat on a shelf in HH for days without being entered in their book (therefore 'wasn't there') and another was a small parcel sent from HH to England, which turned up in an English sorting office a month later.

I waited for a small parcel to be delivered to us from UK in 2003 and after 2 months it still had not arrived, so we popped down to HH PO and they were as Mags said, very helpful and allowed us to search through all the parcels they had there.
No luck, so the head man phoned BKK main office but still no trace.

1 week later, a form was put into our post box, saying the parcel was in HH PO and had been held up by customs as they were not sure what was inside (they never thought to open it!) and what duty to charge.
Down to the PO we trecked and then we haggled with the main man on how much to pay.

100 Baht duty and 22 Baht handling fee and we were on our way, package still intact

The system in LOS is slow but usually comes good in the end.

Around 20 people send us Christmas cards from different parts of the world each year, and usually about 12-15 of them are delivered (we're in the Sport Villa on Petchkasem). Last year not one of them arrived. Enquiries at the HH post office were met with shrugs so I emailed the postal authorites in Bangkok. I'm still waiting for their reply. TIT.

I bought a TDS-Meter, to measure the salt content of my swimming pool, from Ebay in USA. After 6 weeks it had not arrived and I told the seller. He said, he had confirmation from the post office in USA, that it had been sent, but he was so kind to send a second one free of charge. This arrived exactly 1 (one) week after sending it.

The first one never appeared.
