UPDATE my Renewal 32 days after i sent my passport and application to Bangkok Application Status: Mailed The U.S. Department of State has mailed your passport book on 11/14/2023. We sent your passport book to you using Prepaid Delivery. Your new passport and supporting documents are mailed in separate packages at different times. You should expect two separate mailings: one with your new passport and one with your supporting documents. We will provide another status update on the date we mail your supporting documents. This update will not include the tracking number for your passport. Please allow two weeks for your U.S. passport to arrive at the mailing address you provided on your application ** If you submitted your application at a U.S. embassy or consulate, the mailing date in this status update is the date your passport was mailed to the U.S. embassy or consulate where you applied and not the date it was sent to you. Your passport may take up to seven business days to arrive at the embassy or consulate where you applied. The U.S. embassy or consulate will deliver the passport to you once they receive it, based on local procedures. -
ages ago, back in the 90's, i considered opening a advisement office with a thai lawyer services My speciality would be to give advice to newcomers on the posible successfulness of their "Business plan" but how to get client's willing to spend $$$, to have them told their "dream" is a stupid idea Also when i ran the Phuket Food, shopping entertainment guide, I would ask all new business to advertise> sometimes would enter a new restaurant and present the book , only to be told that there were so many restaurant's in it already, at which i would smile and say < "yep, so why did you open another one"? 5555

Unfortunately every immigration is deferent so saying you dont need to do a new tm30 is not true PHUKET requires a new tm 30 anytime u stay out of phuket at a hotel which files a tm 30 OR if you leave the country easy to just do it online: https://tm30.immigration.go.th/tm30api/loginExternal.jsp?value=EXT&id=a57f17080938c12ec18918280ab1c296 -

bamnutsak HUH: LOOK i sent my package to Bangkok on the 13th by mail an this is what i was informed on the 27th take it for what its worth> Have you applied for a Passport recently? You requested routine service when you applied. Routine service can take 8-11 weeks. Our processing times begin the day we receive your application at a passport agency or center, not the day you mail your application or apply at a local acceptance facility. -

Pre covid, Surin was designated a "virgin" beach and nothing was allowed on the beach Last year there was nothing on the beach , while from the top to the bottom, both sides of the small road where places to eat and rest NOW its back to loungers /umbrellas on the beach> $$$$$$$$ ;-(

"“Philip approached me in Foodland and persistently pestered me to sell him Ice. Initially, I declined, but after relentless requests, I mentioned I might have some friends who could assist. So, I exchanged ‘Line’ details with him and promised to get back. Three days later, I did just that,” John continues." 5555555 he deserves jail time just for being a fool> If someone approached me anywhere asking for Ice, i'd tell him to F#@k off
