Sorry for the confusion ... Had been asking about Khoen Kaen but at the last moment discovered Korat had quietly reopened ... Crowd started a queue which officials then added to yesterday's queue ... They do 220 passports a day ... All but 40 of yesterday's folks got processed today 180 of today got official numbers for tomorrow ... We got number 60 so ok ... Will show up at 7:30 tomorrow We got there at midnight last night and still a 2 day process but they are working hard to reduce the backlog ... Will even work this holiday Friday shhhh ... There is a B500 hotel literally across the street ... Wear long pants, socks hoodie etc Mosquitos were awful .. We brought chairs

Thanks again zu on Joe ... We have been in line here in Korat since midnight and are #24 in a list that is already 60+ group is compiling a list and handing it in when office opens at 8:30 ... A few people in line here say office has been open for 2 days but even though they had previously come at 5:00 am they didn't make the queue ... Now if the servers are still running in the morning we should be good to go. Also confirmed the Udon office us open.

Ubon was closed for us last week so all 5 of us had to go to Bangkok. 14 hours included 2 flights, 2 taxi rides and 8 hours waiting in a cue with 1200 people ahead of us. One of the worst days of my life.

if we bring chairs does that work for the line ups?

I have no idea which would be the best.

If Korat is the closest I would go there and be in line well before they open. The offices mentioned in the news are handing out numbers up to the most they can process in one day,

Thank you - if anyone has been to any provincial passport office this wek please weigh in

All provincial passport offices should now be open according to the latest news.

The consular affairs office now has it's servers running which was needed for them to do applications.

Thanks bunches ... we can drive north ... east or south ... leaving this evening after wife gets off work so as to get into queue for tomorrow ... any words of wisdom which location might be the least busy and increase our odds ... not getting anyone picking up the phones at any location

does anyone know if this office is open now ... also one person saisd Korat is open again but cannot verify - wife needs passport and we live in Buriram - last week wasted a trip to Korat
