After 65 weeks I received a friendly email from YvesZor at Bangkok Radio to QSL my reception of a DSC message from Bangkok Radio on 12577 kHz. It was worth the wait, although in the meantime YvesZor already QSL-ed my 2 MHz reception of Bangkok Radio which is a bit more special.
Nice reception Peter. Always nice to catch some South-East Asian radio stations.
Regularly I hear Bangkok Meteo Radio on 8743 kHz in voice, partly English and partly Thai language.
But don’t listen too long because they use an “Icecream van”- style tune and is a real earworm :o)
Have a nice weekend and good DX !

These guys definitely know a few things about politeness – apologizing for delay in QSLing which is hardly one of their cental tasks!
Seems that they enjoyed your mail, too, once they read it.
It’s a cultural thing. Asian people are always ever so polite. And when they have the time they will always reply. I got a QSL from a Japanese coastal station 5 years or so after my report. When the operator retired he started answering all the reports. I will make a post about this one at some point in time.
Hi, Peter — It’s me YvesZor
I was just browsing around and found this webpage 😀 I’m so grateful to be a part of your hobby. We’re designing E-QSL Card but there’re still more proceduce to be done. You can always reach us via bangkokradio@ntplc.co.th
Best wish from Bangkok Radio,
Hi YvesZor, how nice that you found my website. We DX-ers are really grateful that operators like are willen to reply to our reception reports.
Next time I receive your station I will send you a report to qualify for the eQSL card!
Kind regards from the Netherlands,
Peter Reuderink
