Getting a Thai Passport in Korat

[khaepmu]

I have been doing an online search trying to get some basic info about getting a Thai passport in Korat for my Thai wife. I think I have the location but I am wondering what other people's experiences were at the office in Korat. Should we get there hours before opening time? Are there long waiting lines? Do they only process so many applications in one day? Has the passport office moved to a new location? Any helpful info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was at the Passport Office last summer; there was plenty of seating in the waiting room, and it was air conditioned. It took about an hour to apply for passports for my two daughters. The passports themselves arrived through the mail at a later date.

Thai passports photo's are in B&W. They do the photo's there if I recall correctly.

They are in color now. They do a digital photo when the application is done.
