Same-day birthday gift delivery in Bangkok, simply

Forgot a birthday until this morning? It happens. Bangkok makes last minute gifting harder than it should be, with traffic, heat and deliveries that arrive squashed. Here is how to get it right on the day.

How do you send a birthday gift the same day in Bangkok?

Choose a maker that bakes or prepares to order, place your order before its daily cutoff, and give a precise delivery address with a phone number. Same-day delivery in Bangkok works best for small, sturdy gifts that can handle a motorbike ride across town.

What birthday gift travels well in Bangkok heat?

Pick something sturdy, packed firmly and small enough to hold in one hand. Small baked gifts with nothing soft on top travel well. Chocolates, iced cakes and flowers without water suffer the most on hot afternoons.

Madeleines are a good fit because they are baked, firm and packed snugly in their box.

What should you write on the card?

Keep it to one or two lines and make it specific to the person. A shared memory or an inside joke beats a generic greeting every time.

• "Happy birthday to the only person who laughs at my jokes."
• "Thirty looks good on you. Cake is on me."
• "For the best desk neighbour in Sathorn."

Which box size should you choose?

A box of three is a sweet gesture for a colleague. Five pieces suits a friend or partner.

You can build a custom box with their favourite flavours, or send our signature box if you are short on time.
