Okay, Thanks.
I used registered mail Thai Post. Which tells me something. But I was hoping for a:
"Hey, we got your Passport, and are processing the new one as we speak. Should be x days".
Your Friends at the US Embassy
I have been in Thailand too long...to know that
"if there is a way to 'fritz' something up...it will happen here".
I don't trust nobody...! (how's that for a double negative)
Thanks...!
