Thailand Post (THP) (Thai: ไปรษณีย์ไทย, RTGS: Praisani Thai), formerly part of the Communications Authority of Thailand until 2003, is a state enterprise that provides postal services in Thailand.
The Post and Telegraph Office was first established in 1883 by King Rama V.[2]: 19 Its first post office was in a large building by the Chao Phraya River, on the north side of the Ong-Ang Canal. In 1898, by merging with the Telegraph Department, its name was changed to "Department of Mail and Telegraph". The department was abolished in 1977 and the country's mailing and telegraphing was assumed by the new government-owned company, "Communications Authority of Thailand" (CAT). In 2003, the government separated the communications authority into two companies, "Thailand Post" and "CAT Telecom".
