After 133 years in operation servicing all Thai people, it is time to an end. After April 30, 2008 the telegram service in Thailand will be terminated.
The good old telegram has been defeated by mobile phone, SMS and Internet e-mail which make telegram less and less popular. Currently there are around 100 telegrams per month while the cost of maintaining the system is around 25Mbaht monthly. This is the normal case of old technology was replaced by a new one.
I remember once in the school, we learn how to send the telegram and really send one as a homework. Waiting for telegram send to myself is quite exciting back then.
Now until Apr 30, there will be exhibition on telegram in Thailand at General Post Office (Bangrak) where you can send your last telegram to anyone.
All Good Things Must Come to An End. So long Telegram, we will miss you
Thailand Post provides special telegram for this event. Today is the last day….
