Postal codes in Thailand are five digit numbers. The first two digits of the postal code denote the province or special administrative area (e.g., 43120 Phon Phisai, Nong Khai), while the last 3 digits represent the post office within the province. [1] There are exceptions, for example, Bangkok and Samut Prakan province shared the first two digits 10xxx. It is typical to use postal code ended with zero 0 because they are assigned to post office that are responsible for delivering mail to the district (amphoe or khet). [2] For example, mails to Dusit district destinations uses postal code 10300 except within Chitralada Palace where postal code 10303 is used. [3] 10300 is postal code of Dusit Post Office which handles the delivery throughout Dusit district while 10303 is postal code of Chitralada Palace Post Office which does not deliver mails outside the palace. [4] Other post offices in Dusit district exist, such as Bang Krabu Post Office with postal code 10301, the code used for mails to be delivered to P.O. Box in the post office.
Postcodes in Thailand were introduced in February 1982. [2] They are issued by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES).
