TLDR : Answer Summary
This conversation explores options for forwarding mail from the USA to Thailand for individuals who do not have a local Thai address yet. Suggestions include using a mail service that scans and emails content, renting a PO Box at Thai post offices, and using services like Traveling Mailbox, which allows users to manage their mail efficiently by scanning, storing, and forwarding as needed.

I use traveling mailbox. They scan, store and forward. Most items I just print out from the scan pdf. Others I store.

If I go to the US, I forward to myself there. When I have enough items, like once a year, I will forward to Thailand. The max. I ever paid was under $10 for the forwarding.

Even just a letter is going to cost you. I don't think mail forwarding from the US Postal Service to an overseas address is what they would do as it would cost a small fortune and who would pay it.
