This might be some off topic, But the USA ain't no great shakes as a dependable mail service either.

In 1967 I was working at Mercury Nevada and lived close to there.
I sold a place in Oregon and they sent some papers by registered mail to me to sign, That was 40 years ago this year and I still ain't recieved them.

Internal mail is best addressed in Thai. If it was addressed only in English there would be some doubt (perhaps) about it reaching its destination, although Thai postal workers can probably read English. Nothing wrong with addressing in both English and Thai.

Overseas mail posted from LOS would have to be addressed in English (of course). English alone would probably be enough but I suggest using use both languages to be more certain.

Not sure about how long it takes. Depends also on destination.

I get stuff addressed in English only all the time. once even a Thai foundation sent a letter from Bangkok with my address written in English only, don't know why because I had written it in Thai on the envelope addressed to them

when I send a letter abroad, I write the address in Latin script plus the destination country in Thai. that should make things clear for everyone along the way.

Not bad at all.... I may need to go that route in the future. ...and I like your suggestions about taping the books together.
