Hi Bigbubba
There is another way to send stuff to thailand, one you will need to work at a little. Most Thai's living in the US understand the duty cost with sending things back to Thailand, and for a Friend, are willing to take something and pack it in their bags when flying back for a visit. Once in Thailand, your gf could meet up with them, or they can mail it to her within the Thai post system( all addressed in Thai). Many of our friends do this for us, and now with My trip coming soon, I am sending things back for them. The plus is you get to meet more Thais in your area and build a support system for when your gf comes to visit.
Good Luck

And yes, this information might be a little late, but I hope it helps.
