Thailand’s 2025 Census: What You Need to Know
where this will be different is they want everyone living in your residence, so that will include (possibly) domestic staff etc, so will be a much truer record than the ID card or tabien baan system. It helps with many things in administration (and down the line possibly in genealogical research!). I've completed mine (in English) but it won't submit though - it seems to say there is something else to be entered but there isn't..... (I've completed the drop-down menus to add more for each person).

Work Permit Photos - can't wear glasses
It's now called TIESC (formerly One Stop Service). Also here is LTR and regular visa service for BOI etc. To get to it you take the lift to the 5th floor in the Parade building, and then an escalator near Cafe Amazon up to the 6th floor (well signposted). There are lots of food places in here on the 5th floor. Also attached QR code to apply for an appointment in advance. Service was a bit slow - it took over 2 hours before we could submit documents after having arrived shortly after 9am.

Work Permit Photos - can't wear glasses
I'm at the new One Bangkok 'One Stop Service' for my annual work permit renewal. I actually need to change the book as there's some water damage to it - and they won't accept ID photos if you are wearing glasses/spectacles! Seems to be a rule change....or they're just being stricter. Also, you can't show your teeth at all in the photos (so no extreme smiles in the Land of Smiles!)

Glucose free electrolyte powder
I would like to find a zero-sugar electrolyte too. In the UK you can buy these, and I stock up when I'm back - a potential business opportunity for someone to re-sell in Thailand? https://appliednutrition.uk/products/bodyfuel-electrolyte-tablets (you can buy them at B&M where they are around £3 for a tube)

Requirements to extend Alien Registration (Police) Book
I think they only need 1 photo (they're larger than the 'normal' size) but bring a couple. Police stations like Thonglor in Bangkok don't need you to make an appointment although they don't start until about 9.30-10am
