Thailand Address Format With Examples
Thailand is located in the center of the Southeast Asian mainland. It shares its border with Myanmar in the north, Cambodia and the Gulf of Thailand in the east, the Andaman Sea in the west, and Malaysia in the south. Such is the cultural diversity of Thailand that aside from Thai, a significant portion of the population speaks Lao, Chinese, and Malay languages. This diversity is also visible in the way people write their addresses when sending mail. Moreover, there are various types of addresses and each has its specific address element requirement. If you want to send a mail to a client or customer living in Thailand but don’t know the correct address format, we have got you covered. We bring to you a list of formats of all the address types, along with examples for each.
Thailand Address Format Breakdown
Recipient Name
Start by writing the name of the recipient in the first line. You can add honorific titles like Mr., Mrs, or Ms. If you are sending the mail to a business, the company’s name will come in the first line. Write the name of the person and their department in the second and third lines respectively. If you want to ensure that the internal mail distribution system sends the mail to the right office and desk, add ATTN. in front of the person’s name.

ASD CO. LTD
